Racist bank employees made it a police matter when they assumed he was passing a fraudulent check and called to have the guy arrested for being a negro in possession of money.

Because: banking while black.

We use "cash a check" interchangeably with "deposit a check"

When he cashes the cheque for this incident he gets nabbed again and more lawsuits. His lawyer must love him.

I looked through some articles, then got distracted by the fact that Snopes fact checked Cracker Barrel racially segregating customers until 2004 and it being TRUE.

The best part? There was a falsity in the claim they were checking, that Cracker Barrel settled the lawsuit. No, they fought it and lost, lmao.

I couldn't find anything. Sauntore Thomas deposited the check elsewhere and planned to seek damages from TCF bank, but I couldn't find anything about how that developed.

They do! It's like they never heard of EFTs. They also pay many of their bills manually, or even worse, some still mail a cheque in response to a bill they receive via snail mail.

No, never. They use checks.

I know right? This would have been an electronic bank transfer here int he UK and I'm sure across Europe.

I can't remember the last time I used a cheque. Maybe 10 or even 15 years ago? Even that was a random one off. I don't even have a cheque book and would have to ask the bank especially if I wanted one.

For large sums of money, it's pretty common to use cashier's checks, which is probably the kind of check that they're talking about here.

While people don't use them much, companies do. Both for payroll and bills etc. I work for a a MSP (managed service provider, basically a company that sells scalable IT to other companies) and the amount of check printer tickets we get isn't small. Also for more shock, faxing is still often used as well.

What and get the cops called on him again?

Risk of getting shot increases with each iteration
