More CU news

A couple of items from recent Credit Union Journal Briefings.

A dude in a Santa suit robbed SunTrust Bank. That must have been surreal.

A dude in North Carolina pretended to own a bunch of cattle that wasn't his. He drove some bankers around bragging on the cattle. I guess they never bothered to check the brands? End result - 11 years of prison after stealing almost eight million. This story really boggles my mind.

Oops

The Credit Union Journal reports that Members First FCU has had a problem with false alarms. The police sent them a letter warning them after there were four false alarms in less than a year. Then there were four more in less than a month! I'm guessing that didn't go over very well.

Didja misplace any money?

According to the Credit Union Journal Daily Briefing someone misplaced some money while at GECU in EL PASO, Texas. How much money? $120,000.

Another member found it outside the credit union's ATM the other day.

Luckily they didn't make off with it and if it's yours you should be able to claim it. Good luck!
