    Yes. Except in my mind it’s a monkey’s paw deal. You win endless discrimination lawsuits, but you just end up with a bunch of checks no bank will cash.

      The secret is that you go to a credit union instead of a bank, and you DEPOSIT it instead of cash it.

      They will have ample time to verify the check through official channels, and you can access the money after it has successfully transferred from the payer into the account.

      Oh like you wish for a million dollars but everyone you interact with is lawsuit levels of racist. You can get the money but can’t cash it. You can sue endlessly but you end up wasting all your time in court

        Exactly. Classic monkey’s paw. You end up dying homeless and in the gutter. On your corpse the police find millions of dollars worth of checks to your name. You get to be a millionaire that dies of hunger and exposure to the elements.
