An alleged theft of more than $50,000 from the drive-through teller drawer in Short Pump, Va., has earned a former teller of the bank a prohibition of future service in financial institutions, the federal insurer of bank deposits said Monday.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) said the former teller for Truist Bank of Charlotte, N.C., Matthew Lewis Robinson, consented to the prohibition. The prohibition was issued after the FDIC determined that, around Aug. 20, 2022, while working at the bank, he allegedly stole $50,997.96 from the drive-through teller drawer of the Short Pump, Va., branch of Truist Bank. Robinson neither admitted nor denied the FDIC’s version.
Meanwhile, the agency also said it had issued a consent order with SouthPoint Bank of Birmingham, Ala. The agency said the order was issued after charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices at the bank, including violations of law and/or regulations, “relating to weaknesses in management, asset quality, capital, earnings, and liquidity/funding.” The order provides no details.
The FDIC also announced Monday that federal deposit insurance for Community Valley Bank of El Centro, Calif., will be voluntarily terminated as of March 31. The agency said it has found that the bank is no longer “engaged in the business of receiving deposits, other than trust funds.”
