theweaselkingMan is arrested, loses job, and has car stolen, for cashing a Chase cheque at a Chase branch, while black.
Short version: Chase owes him $8500, sends him a perfectly real cheque. He comes in to cash it, provides ID, and is arrested for "fraud" because no black man could possibly have that kind of money. When Chase discovers their error, they don't actually call anyone on duty at the police station, so he spends a long weekend in jail, and loses his job for not showing up. His car is towed and then auctioned off because the cheque is "evidence" and he doesn't have the money to pay the impound fees without it.
