So basically, he told his boss to fuck off, made mad cash and then did it again, all without even having a job.

A power move by all accounts.

Hol up. Used to work at a bank, there's a whole protocol to handle this shit, all checks are suspicious by definition. Are you telling me they fucked it up somehow? (either not following the script to the letter, or anyone involved actually being unprofessional and letting their prejudice slip to give them something to hang on) Yeah, gotta pay up, that's how it works, and better keep whoever fucked it up because this shows you can't be trusted with firing them without incurring into another discrimination lawsuit.
