By the time we got back into our account at the bank (took 4 hours at the bank) the buyers had already spent thousands of dollars on new stock.

Absolutely ####ing ridiculous that someone can walk in with a piece of paper, take over a bank account and lock out the owners of the account without so much as a phone call, let alone a signature.
I’m sure I’m not the only one curious what the outcome was? Did the bank reverse the switch and credit the monies or is the $$$ gone and you’re SOL?
