Bank Insider Accused of Stealing $50,997 From Billion-Dollar Lender, Taking Cash Directly From Drive-Through Drawer
A US bank employee has allegedly stolen a pile of cash from the lender, triggering tens of thousands of dollars in losses.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) accuses Matthew Lewis Robinson of stealing $50,997 from the drive-through teller drawer at a Truist Bank branch in Virginia.
Truist has not commented on the alleged theft, which the FDIC says centered on “personal dishonesty.”
The regulator has barred Robinson from working at or participating in the activities of any FDIC-insured bank, holding company or affiliated entity without getting prior approval.
Robinson has consented to the provision of the FDIC’s Prohibition Order without admitting or denying the allegations.
The FDIC also says the Prohibition Order will remain enforceable until any regulator decides to suspend, modify, terminate or set aside the provisions in writing.
The regulator adds that the order does not bar other government agencies from pursuing legal action against Robinson if deemed appropriate.
Last month, reports emerged that another Truist employee had been caught engaging in bank fraud. The FDIC alleged that Alexi J. Rearick cashed 13 fraudulent checks amounting to $69,040 from five customer accounts without their knowledge or consent.
Truist Bank is the ninth-largest commercial bank in the US, with more than $535 billion in assets, according to the Federal Reserve.
