OT today is a sad day, wont bellive what my brother did to me

basically i will make a long story short,

today i noticed my 12 bank withdrwal transactions from my account where i keep all of my savings. the 12 total transactions is for a tad over 2,000 dollars. my brother used my social security number, stole my permit(was laying in my room i had my lisence for 5 years) forged my signature and made these withdrawls.

i went to the police and filed a report so i could get my money back, and basically i had a choice of two things

press charges of 7 felony counts and get my money back

or dont press charges and not get my money back

i choose to not press charges to not put stress on my family, and i decided i would take this as learning expreience

i choose not to press charges because it would take a long time to procicute him and to get my money back, but mostly i did it for my family, i had a recent death about a week ago and the added stress would be enourmous....

not to mention its hard to put your own brother in prision for 5-15 years on 7 felony charges...easier said than done

im just so sad, i cant belive my own brother would do this, makes me sick and sad at the same time OT

That's pretty terrible. However, TC, I have a question: What are you going to do now? Confront your brother? You will have issues to deal with him, pressing charges or not.

Owch.

Guess it goes to show that you shouldn't be leaving that stuff around...someone you least expect can use it to steal from ya!

That's pretty terrible.hydralisk86

yea i know, terrible isent the word, i mean i dont think i could ever talk to him agian

ever..

You dont press charges, but still make him pay it. Dont do it through courts, just have him pay you back. I mean you kinda saved his ass by not having him charged

that sucks, hardcore. I thought though that most banks required photo identification for withdrawals.Dman0017

he had my permit.....the thing is he looks nothing like me!!!!

stupid idiots at the banks honestly

Wait, why not press charges? I know he's your brother and all, but this should be a learning experience for him that its wrong to exploit the carelessness of others in such a horrific manner.

Regardless, that's sad to hear.

That is horrible, any reason why TC? If there was none apparent you should turn his *** in..Strider_91

i just had a recent death in my family last week and its extremely stressful time

and if i were to press charges it could take up to 2 years to fully get it done and get my money backi mean its 7 felony charges

I don't believe what your brother did to you.McJugga

well sorry man i dont lie, thanks for mmakking me feel better :)....not

I hope you resolve this issue.

Colin1192

Wow, that is just horrible. But you are the better man for not pressing charges. I'm not sure what I would do in your shoes. I think if I didn't press charges, I'd at least kick the crap out of my brother so he'd learn not to do it again. JustPlainLucas

yea i was put on the spot

the officer lieteratly gave me about half hour to make the descision

funsohng

of course i did i confronted him when it happend

listen i did file a report but because the case was containing over 7 felonys it was either file report and he would be screw or act like i never went to the police station so

If this is true you should press charges.

Is your family going to give you your money back? I don't think so. Are they going to shun him for being wrong now? I don;t think so. So why should they shun you for being in the right and doing the right thing?

Odds are if it wasn't your brother your family would be shouting "Prosecute! Prosecute!"

I would of pressed the charges.

Soooooo...you're just going to let your brother steal 2000 BUCKS from you?

He's your brother and all, but you shouldn't be letting anyone just simply take that kind of money from you. be assertive! Show some backbone! Press charges for crying out loud!

i put it earlier but ill post it agian

i had a death recently a week ago and familys under alot of stress in order to procicure him it would be lengthy to do it and that means getting my money

i dont need the stress and lets be honest her, 7 felony charges means 5-10 years in prison

Out of curiosity, what did he spend the money on?mike7677

I'm sure the death was bad, but that shouldn't be a free pass for your brother to walk all over you...

Just saying.

your brother stole 2 grand from you, that must be a stress on YOU, does it not? if your family won't support you getting back the money YOU earned, and YOU saved that HE stole, there's something wrong with all of them.XilePrincess

I concur.

This is a messy situation any way you slice it.

Did he need it for anything, or did he just feel like getting an easy 2K?

I would ask him to pay you back, and if he doesn't, that's when you press charges. If he simply stole from you with no remorse, he needs to be put in jail

I can see why you didn't press charges, but you should do SOMETHING about it.

btw, don't banks requre photo id for withdrawls? or did he have that too?

With all due respect and assuming this story is true, is your brother an addict? I ask because I've known people struggling with addiction that exhibited this behavior.

I can see why you didn't press charges, but you should do SOMETHING about it.

You have to confront him and if his reaction when you confront him will tell you whether you should press charges or not. That sucks though man.

Are you positive it was him TC? If so, if you aren't going to turn him in, beat the living daylights out of him. Make it a learning experience for HIM so he won't try it on no one else....tocool340

they have him on camera going in all 12 times

im shure its him

Dude, press the charges and get your money back.

At this point there is already stress on your family.
