Are we sure this is legit? Where are you getting this news, Prudence? We’re in Washtenaw County… How do we know this isn’t one of those trolls we’ve been seeing on our site?
Not everyone has Chase Private Client, Harriet. Have some compassion, people lost their money. And just because he’s an immigrant doesn’t mean “foul play.”
I never said anything about him being an immigrant? Did I do something to offend you, Tabitha? What are you picking on me for?
This is a rather rude thing to say Harriet! I’m new to Wallsocket and was impressed with the hospitality demonstrated by my neighbors. It would behoove you to follow in their example.
I wouldn’t call it a robbery! Embezzlement might be the word. It’s not like he pulled a Bonnie and Clyde.
And I think, while this is horrible for the parties involved, we should be careful not to fully demonize the guy. This stuff is super nuanced and his motive is still unclear!

It’s definitely real, I saw it on the local news last night. Maybe Prudence was on one of those fake news sites?
I don’t even know what’s real anymore…
OH GOD this is horrible… do we know anyone with an account at Columbia Bank? I can’t say I’m surprised though…
What exactly do you mean by that?
I just meant that if you’re gonna go with in a low-level bank like that, you should probably expect some foul play.

Tabitha, he walked away with half a million dollars….
Are you seriously suggesting we side with the criminal here?
God. What motivates a person to do something like this? Surely there’s more to this story.
Truly terrible. I hope anyone affected gets their money back.
THIS IS TERRIBLE, I hope they catch him and return the money ASAP
