He should have had his pistol out to just in case somebody might have jumped him. I betcha the guys in the SUV had the engine running to keep the heat on.I was on his side until I saw the note. Dude didn't put his name or checking account # on the note and handwrote it
I guess he don't want to be followed, but at the same time go to a bank that handles high ene clientele if you want to be "discreet"I was on his side until I saw the note. Dude didn't put his name or checking account # on the note and handwrote it
Who said that’s all he did?
What makes you think the director of a billion dollar franchise would think he only needs a note to pull money from his account?
I don't even know why you even responded with real life experience and knowledgeable facts. Somebody is going to still argue with with you posting smilies trying to clown you even though they have no clue what the fukk they talking bout.
Where you're missing the point isAnd what makes you think that this was Cooglers first time going to a bank that he has an account with?
What makes you think that a man with millions of dollars of income has never withdrew $12,000? Meaning he ALSO has a history with the bank.
And who in America WASNT wearing a mask in the last 2yrs when they went into a bank?
The note is crazy ONLY if they hadn’t verified him as the account holder. We don’t know that yet because everyone is talking about the note and not the process. You said you worked for the bank, you know this bro. If you were the teller and I enter my card and pin for you to access my account and you say “Welcome back Mr. Archer, how can I help you?”…and I hand you this note saying I want to withdraw $12k from MY account but please count it discretely”-
While it may be weird, you already have confirmed my account, you clearly see that $12k is no large sum to me compared to my account. Like you said, you see my account history of large purchases or withdrawals so this is not out of the ordinary for a person with my income, a rational person wouldn’t disregard all that info you said they have. So it’s an irrational response to only an unorthodox method of request. The most she should’ve done would be to ask a manager what to do and perhaps ask for a little more verification such as ID and more account information as well as the signature match verification (Chase does this).
” shyt either.
He wasn't dealing with cac's. the Teller was black.Well, the way he looked in that TMZ photo I can see why the bank teller might've made that assumption but at the same time, I wouldn't be too quick to say that it couldn't have been on some “
You can never tell with cacs and their scary asses..it could've been a mix of both...
He's Black, wearing a hoodie, black beanie, and shades shyt a matter of fact, to even assume he was a robber in itself is already suspect, and like I said when dealing with cacs you can never tell because just being Black and walking or dressing a “certain” way scares them even if what they're assuming about you has no merit.

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler was mistaken for a bank robber and briefly arrested in January after walking into a Bank of America in Atlanta wearing sunglasses, a hat and a mask and asking the cashier to 'discreetly' withdraw $12,000 from his account.
The incident occurred sometime in January but was revealed by TMZ on Wednesday morning. Coogler, 35, walked into the bank wearing a green hoodie, black beanie and sunglasses.
He passed the cashier a note which read: 'I would like to withdraw $12,000 CASH from my checking account.
It remains unclear why he needed the money, or why two others had driven him there in an SUV to retrieve it.
'Please do the money count somewhere else. I'd like to be discreet.'
The note spooked the cashier, who was described in the police report as a 'pregnant black woman'.
She called police claiming Coogler was a bank robber.
Police arrived and detained two people who were waiting for him in an SUV parked outside.
TMZ reports that they then went inside the bank and placed Coogler in handcuffs too.
Once they realized it was a misunderstanding, they let him go.
