Bank giant JPMorgan “robbed” a 10-year-old girl and took $2,100 from her

10-year-old Kinley Maner from Phoenix, USA, found herself at the center of a scandal with financial giant JPMorgan Chase after selling six chickens at auction for $2,100. She received the funds in the form of a check from the Small Business Association and deposited it through the bank's mobile app.

The next day, the bank unexpectedly closed her account, saying the check might be forged. The girl's family contacted the bank repeatedly, but the bank said they could not refund the money until the investigation was complete.

A year later, the bank was still holding $2,100, even though the organization that issued the check was legitimate. The family contacted local news channel KTVK.

After the media intervened, the bank quickly contacted the family and said the money would be returned immediately.

«If we hadn't contacted the journalists, I doubt we would have been able to return the money», — the girl's father noted.

This case highlights the importance of transparency in the banking system and the role of the media in addressing such situations.
