Bank A issues a cashier's check for $25,000 payable to Smith Jones Construction. Bank B accepts the check for photo deposit into Mr. Jones' personal, private account indorsed with only his single signature. The cashier's check is never endorsed in the name of the payee company. Bank A then accepts the check from Bank B. Mr. Jones quickly withdraws the money from Bank B and misappropriates the funds. The business itself never gets paid. If it matters, this is in Ohio.
What banking errors were made here and by whom? The business is asking for recourse.

If we have a customer that recently purchased a business. He wants to deposit a check made payable to the business but is also payable to the former owner. Should we just have them request a new check be issued to only the business or, based on paperwork provided can we confirm the current customer has rights to anything made payable to the business going forward regardless of the additional reference to prior owners?

We were presented with a check. On that check was printed "Not negotiable before due date." Is this in regard to the actual date on check? With the current regulations in place does it matter as to when this item is processed or must it be processed no earlier than that day?
