Bankers and Police = Carrots and Peas
Ryjkyjsays...Wow, where do you even begin?
"Oh yes, we're looking into that now that it's on the news. We'll have an apology form-letter out to you in six to ten business days."
longdesays...I bet this guy would trade a deficit of 200 points on his SAT for his experience.
rottenseedsays...This is an obvious case of profiling by the bank teller. What makes it worse is that it was clearly racial profiling and not character profiling.
notarobotsays...Terrible when overcooked! >> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

EMPIREsays...this is revolting. just fucking revolting. How is this man not being awarded a millionaire settlement?
marinarasays...read the original story @

remember, it was the bank that arrested him, that also SENT HIM THE CHECK THEY SAID WAS FRAUDULENT.
vexsays...This is the type of story that stirs me to the brink of rage. I hope this man sues the shit out of the real criminals here: the bank.

Because major cash settlements for ordinary people are a myth.

They gave him a cheque...
MrFisksays...It took the media to bring this to the public's attention before Chase apologized.

blankfistsays..."Hey, thanks for the bailouts! Now suck our danglies, citizens!"

Isn't it always like that? Companies don't care, but as soon as it might impact their oh-so important image the scramble.
PalmliXsays...Wow it's a good thing we bailed out the financial institutions, otherwise who would fuck over the average citizen?
ravermansays...Profiling and corporate evil aside.
If the justice system allows you to arrest and hold a private individual for 3-4 days with zero evidence, just the opinion of a private company? Thats fucked up.
Where's the checks and balances on who can be arrested and what minimum level of due process is ncessary? You can't seriously tell me it's a up to a cops 'honorable judgement'.
Why aren't people in the streets about this shit?
MaxWildersays...Sorry, but... the lawyer sent a stern letter??? It's lawsuit time baby! Loss of wages, loss of property, pain and suffering... the list could probably go on for quite a while! And Chase would have to settle. They look like idiots already! Maybe the stern letter included a suggested donation that would keep it out of court.
I don't know why they are even thinking about asking for or receiving an apology. It's just an admission of guilt. The bank would be stupid to apologize with anything other than a fat check and a non-disclosure agreement.
gwiz665says...He's black.

bareboards2says...I hope he got a new car out of the deal, better than the one he lost.

'Njoku’s Seattle attorney, Felix Luna, would not elaborate on the terms of the settlement. However, before the settlement was reached, he told the KING 5 Investigators that Njoku was seeking an apology, financial compensation and changes in bank procedures.
“Ikenna is very happy with the resolution,” said Luna.'
