Hmm, I'm skeptical about that. None of the employees who worked at my branch are still there.

It would be awkward for me to call up the bank and ask for this. What would I say exactly? "Hi, I was fired from your bank 8 years ago for a $5000 loss and I want to know if it's been resolved."? I also think that even if I did ask, Wells Fargo would be under no obligation to tell me anything.

What if doing exactly that meant the difference in being hired in LE versus not? Is your desire to be an officer strong enough to overcome your inhibitions about calling?

You have to understand that to us, you appear awfully blasé about the whole thing, when in reality, this is going to be treated like a VERY SERIOUS undetected felony crime by any competent background investigator. I know I wouldn't have payed out five grand for something I didn’t do.

On our salaries, we would have had to take out a 9th mortgage to pay that back!

Awkward? Don't they owe you $5000?? You paid them and they kept it. You didn't owe it to them if you didn't take it in the first place.

Go the the WF security or HR department and tell them the story and that you want your $5000 back.

Ok, so I'm curious.

What was the endgame for this one? Did you hear back from HR dept about your official reasons and the retention of false confessions etc?
