Money that another company owed me.
Then people from that commpany who are not members of that dormant LLC
created checks using a printer that will print magnetic ink on blank
check stock, wrote checks mostly draining that account.
They wrote checks back to themselves and associates. The only way we
noticed was that one of their attorneys told us the missing money was in
that account. Went and looked and discovered the money “was” in that
account.
Many of the checks were signed with a cached signature of their former
CFO who was still the only signatory on the account. He did not even
know they had the ability to do that. Some of the money was his too.
So forgeries in my opinion on counterfeit checks. The bank says that
since I did not notice it in a timely manner and it happened more than
60 days ago... oh well, ...
So, that bum on the street can make a check on your account and the
bank will pass it and not really care. Keep an eye on all of your
accounts folks.
Surely that's some kind of crime with a statute of limitations of more
than 60 days.
