"The "Black Panther" director was in Atlanta, attempting to withdraw $12,000 from his account with Bank of America. The teller received an alert on his account, according to the police report obtained by CNN, because the amount was more than $10,000. The teller notified her superior that she thought Coogler was trying to rob the bank and 911 was called. Coogler had written a note on the back of his withdrawal slip stating that he wanted the money to be counted discreetly, given the amount, according to the report.

When police arrived, two of Coogler's colleagues, who were waiting for him in a parked vehicle outside the bank, were detained and placed in the back of a police car. Coogler was placed in handcuffs while police investigated the call. "We deeply regret that this incident occurred. It never should have happened and we have apologized to Mr. Coogler," Bank of America said in a statement to CNN. Coogler was in Georgia at the time of the incident, working on production of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," the sequel to his 2018 blockbuster."

I doubt this was as much a case of racial profiling as it is a case of why would you go to a bank and withdraw 12K?? Of course someone is going to think you are robbing the bank. Why do people think they should be able to put their money into a bank and simply waltz in and withdraw large amounts of that money without them being detained and investigated?? How do we know that he wasn't being kidnapped and extorted? How do we know he wasn't indeed robbing that bank?

Most bank robberies are done by signing a withdrawal slip with your name and account number on it; then handing it to a teller along with your ID - it's not always a matter of someone going into a bank with guns drawn. This guy may be some multi-millionaire director just because he directed some racist movie -- but he is clearly too dumb to know how to handle money. Hopefully this incident has taught him a much needed lesson.

"Race" is a lame social construct used to divide and categorize different ethnicities. Thus so goes the "racism" and "racist" terms you so freely bandy about......Are you saying that the director is anti-white?

Black's are prone to engaging in illegal activity.
So it only makes sense to be cautious of them at all times.
It's for your own safety. ...

What is a Black Man doing trying to withdraw his own money?

The teller should have asked for ID and that would be the end of it. Instead, she called the cops.

At least Coogler was a good guy about it and accepted the banks apology

That is ALWAYS his point, as he does nothing else.

And many of them fall for it hook line and sinker.

Welcome to the brave new banking industry, slapnuts.

Yes, if you request to withdraw more than $10k, the government will be notified. The government considers it “suspicious” for anyone to try to withdraw that much, and the bank will deny it.

Thank your favorite guy, Biden. He loves banks and he loves the government being able to control your money instead of allowing you to control it. Why do you think he is set on signing another bogus executive order to take over crypto currency? You’re too dumb to handle your own financial affairs, and if you object to these measures then you must be a “Putin stooge” or something.

Not everyone has Jewish Privilege.
Any amount over $10k will be reported, as the government believes it is suspicious. They automatically believe you are money laundering or a terrorist.

Why does this Coogler need so much cash anyway? What is he hiding? Is he working for Putin?

 

[Rogue AI]

Where is the race angle? What were the teller and manager race(s)? If white, why has CNN not crucified them yet? Something fishy going on here.

His money…he can withdraw what he wants

By all means, report it to the IRS
Dont have to handcuff him to record the transaction

Uh huh, sure. As if you don’t support the move to full digital currency and the power of the government to fully restrict all of your transactions.

Not sure where you got this nonsense, but you don't know what you are talking about.

It is why the Government tracks cash transactions

Try to keep up
