[Magdalen] Disappearing money - please pray

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

This is THE nightmare for those who have to deposit at ATMs.
As to records that he was there, the ATM has a surveillance camera which
would at least show the deposit being made, assuming the bank is interested
in treating the customer right.

The bank should have an ongoing accounting system, and the precise amount
of the deposit ought to pop up as an extra amount of money which the
accounting would say the bank ought not to have -- if no criminal activity
is involved.

Prayers for a resolution that treats you right!!!

Banks can be the source of a lot of problems.  My parents had accounts with
Bank of America, and we have had just incredible difficulties getting the
money from those accounts.  They keep insisting on one or another document,
dragging the process out just so they can hold on to that money and make
interest from it for another month or so.

Multiply this by a few hundred recently deceased investors and you've got a
few million dollars floating around.  Of course they will do every trick
they know to hold on to the money.
