Virtually everyone had a difficult 2020.
But chances are, one North Carolina bank employee who the feds say was targeted by a racist student-loan scammer had it much worse than you did.
Last July, the banker, a fraud analyst, called Jalon Carlos Torres to say they were closing his account.
It had been flagged for unauthorized activity, she told Torres, a 43-year-old Colorado man who opened the account a month earlier in the name of his company, the Student Resolution Center LLC.
The funds in the account would be held for 90 days before being returned to Torres, the banker said.
