Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2022 there is this guy named XXXX XXXX XXXX was involved in a XXXX  XXXX dollar Ponzi scheme. If you XXXX his name, it will pop up. He is on the run this gentleman I was gon na do business with him on a restaurant. I did not know anything about his Ponzi scheme until after he stole a check for me and wrote out {$300000.00}, he approached me to open a XXXX  restaurant with him. He asked me to put in {$300000.00} so I wrote out a check for {$300000.00} but I did not put a name on it or or I did not sign it either and only thing I wrote on it was a {$300000.00} no signature no nothing and I never gave him the check ever, but my checkbook and my friend brought him over because I was not close to him like that couple days later I found out that my check was missing a blank check not the check that I wrote out for XXXX without no signature he stole a blank check from my home during to get together, I found out the check was missing a couple days later I reported to the bank Wells Fargo that I am missing a check so stop that check number couple days later I checked my online account and there was a {$300000.00} checked. What the amazing amaze me was the bank who cashed it did not verify or anything like that. I called Wells Fargo immediately and asked why did they stop the check that number and that check was written out for {$300000.00} I just saw on my account, they told me that stop payment is not 100 % guarantee so why the heck am I banking with you guys then so they told me to call XXXXXXXX XXXX where the bank with the check was Cashed. When I text Bank, I asked for the manager once I spoke to her and I told her what was written on that check was XXXX XXXX holdings Instantly she told me that they were very aware of the gentleman that cast this check name XXXX XXXX XXXX they said that theyre aware of his fraud ongoing case which was the Ponzi scheme XXXX dollar. I asked her why the heck did she cash a check and if she knew its under investigation and I told her give me back my money they said his account froze, unfreeze it I said! just found two weeks ago That a gentleman named XXXX XXXX was approving multiple big loans to this gentleman XXXX and I have witnesses that put him at the businesses that came out of nowhere that XXXX XXXX approved I have witnesses that put XXXX XXXX at the businesses that he approved that came out of nowhere. Im talking about the gentleman. pop and open multi businesses that was in the millions it didnt make sense. Im sure nobody knows about XXXX XXXX, but I want you to do a full investigation on him. Immediately you will get him busted he hasnt been caught is that this is very very high information I bet he cashed my {$300000.00} check in a heartbeat without any verification, I have been reaching out to Bank and Wells Fargo for two years now every single day they both dodged me. I will not give up wrote a letter on linksays business page On the page of the CEO of XXXX Bank to let the CEO know that Ive been trying to get a hold of him. I finally got his attention because the following day his lawyer wrote me a letter and said for me to leave them alone I deceased demand to me I want you guys do full throttle investigation on this bank XXXX XXXX XXXX is involved somehow I just want my $ XXXX bank plus what they put through the last two years, I lost my family. I lost my businesses all because of this in the other hand Wells Fargo is claiming that they never got a phone call for me whatsoever that I never called and report this to them.
