$24M IN CHECKS, AND POSTAL WORKERS ALLEGEDLY IN THE MIDDLE

🚨 $24 million. That is the size of the check fraud scheme now alleged in a federal investigation.

cbs19.tv reports the probe alleges the scheme was tied to USPS workers.

That detail is the story. Check fraud usually needs someone to intercept paper in transit. An allegation pointing at postal employees points at the interception point itself.

Beyond that, the reporting available is limited. No named defendants. No charge sheet. No breakdown of how the $24 million figure was reached.

And the caveat matters: an allegation inside a federal probe is not a conviction. Nothing described here has been tested in court.

What is worth watching is what a $24 million number does to trust in mailed paper. Businesses still move payroll, refunds and settlements by check because it feels boring and safe.

Do you still mail checks, or did you stop years ago?
