Despite the waning use of paper checks as digital forms of payment gain popularity, they&#8217;re still a major avenue for fraud, resulting in <a href=\"https:\/\/verafin.com\/2024\/10\/check-fraud-the-need-for-a-complete-picture-of-risk\/?internal-source=related\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$26.6 billion<\/a> in losses globally last year, according to Nasdaq&#8217;s Global Financial Crime Report.<\/p>\n<p>The infinite money glitch episode highlights the risk that social media can amplify vulnerabilities discovered at a financial institution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/09\/03\/business\/chase-tiktok-trend\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Videos<\/a> began circulating in late August showing people <a href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/events\/august-2024-chase-bank-atm-glitch#fn1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrating<\/a> the withdrawal of wads of cash from Chase ATMs shortly after bad checks were deposited.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, banks only make available a fraction of the value of a check until it clears, which takes several days. JPMorgan says it closed the loophole a few days after it was discovered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-subtitle\"><a id=\"headline0\"\/>Miami and California<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>The other lawsuits filed Monday are in courts including Miami and the Central District of California, and involve cases where JPMorgan says customers owe the bank sums ranging from about $80,000 to $141,000.<\/p>\n<p>Most cases being examined by the bank are for far smaller amounts, according to people with knowledge of the situation\u00a0who declined to be identified speaking about the internal investigation.<\/p>\n<p>In each case, JPMorgan says its security team reached out to the alleged fraudster, but it hasn&#8217;t been repaid for the phony checks, in violation of the deposit agreement that customers sign when creating an account with the bank.<\/p>\n<p>JPMorgan is seeking the return of the stolen funds with interest and overdraft fees, as well as lawyers&#8217; fees and, in some cases, punitive damages, according to the complaints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-subtitle\"><a id=\"headline1\"\/>Criminal cases?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>The lawsuits are likely to be just the start of a wave of litigation meant to force customers to repay their debts and signal broadly that the bank won&#8217;t tolerate fraud, according to the people familiar. JPMorgan prioritized cases with large dollar amounts and indications of possible ties to organized crime, they said.<\/p>\n<p>The civil cases are separate from potential criminal investigations; JPMorgan says it has also referred cases to law enforcement officials across the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fraud is a crime that impacts everyone and undermines trust in the banking system,&#8221; JPMorgan spokesman Drew Pusateri said in a statement to CNBC. &#8220;We&#8217;re pursuing these cases and actively cooperating with law enforcement to make sure if someone is committing fraud against Chase and its customers, they&#8217;re held accountable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<div class=\"RelatedContent-relatedContent\" id=\"RegularArticle-RelatedContent-1\">\n<div class=\"RelatedContent-container\">\n<div class=\"RelatedContent-nonCollapsibleContent\">\n<h2 class=\"RelatedContent-header\">Don\u2019t miss these insights from CNBC PRO<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/10\/28\/jpmorgan-suing-customers-over-infinite-money-glitch.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chase bank logo above ATMs, taken in Manhattan.
