That’s exactly what 2 New Jersey law firms are doing…
Freedman & Gersten in Hasbrouck Heights, N.J., claims it wired $236,659 to a company in South Korea based on a check that turned out to be fake, while Levitan & Frieland of Florham Park, N.J., has lodged similar allegations.
Freedman & Gersten is suing Bank of America, on whose assurances it says it relied when it deposited a $274,705 client check in its attorney trust account and wired most of the money overseas.
Bank of America is the villain. It is getting billions of dollars in tax payer bailout, and now it is scamming these poor, poor, innocent lawyers in New Jersey.
Off with Ken Lewis’ head!
(Really, it was a classic check scam).
