Yep. Drifting slightly from the main topic, this brings us to to the topic of identity theft. That happened to me nearly 20 years ago, and VAXMAN's recent post here about similar brought back painful memories.
(Report a substantial loss of money to your bank, get asked to report it to the police, then find yourself in an interview room being accused of doing it with the aid of an accomplice. The bank's handling of the matter made me seriously wonder if it was an "inside job" that they were trying to cover up.)
This one's easy to see. The banking system is fatally flawed. Anyone with your bank routing number and checking account number can initiate a transfer. But the same information is on every check you write and send to others. If the bank can get you to not file a claim against them, then they don't have to replace the funds.
