was married and working on a
small salary. When creditors
threatened to garnishee his sal
airy, he finally gave a personal
check for $780,. hoping to borrow
money to meet it. Failing to do
this, he destroyed the check when
It came from the clearing house.
This practice continued, with
the checks growing larger and
larger. He said he cashed checks
for as high as 5000 and $3.50 in
Seattle and Portland.
Thru his position as clearing

was able to cash personal checks
