Complaint Review: MB Financial Bank

I was a stellar customer of MB Financial Bank for 10+ years.  When I needed them they left me in the cold.  I was experiencing internal problems with my staff in my business.  They were stealing.  Some of those stealing included my own niece, Ayako M., who admitted to stealing more than $150,000.00 though I believe she stole much more than that.  She opened up the business to the possibility of infiltration by giving out the passswords to the business management system.  Everyone got into the act.  She told me, personaly, in her own words, that she was operating under authority of one of my bankers, James Mann.  It appears James Mann had mob ties and abused his position in the bank and targeted his own customers for takeobver operations.  I reported this to the Feds.  The FBI told me my "bankers were stealing from the bank."  James Mann nolonger works for MB Bank.  You would think I would be awarded a medal.  Nope.  When I asked for help with my staff problems (specifically I requested a takeover team) they denied my request though they likely had a fiduciary duty to respond.  Every one of my business associates failed to assist me when I asked for help as if they did not take my accusation seriously.  I finally had to shut the doors when I discovered evidence that my staff was stealing directly from my customers.  Yes-my staff at Cheetah Gym Chicago were stealing directly from the customers.  I knew my career was over and took as many pills I could find but that failed.  I awoke to a bruhaha of monumental proportions.  The bank desperately wanted my business and wanted me to coopertae.  At no point during this event had I actually defaulted on my loan.  The bank pulled out the stops and in court I faced an army of lawyers with the mission to take over my business.  I had the right to redeem which they went out of their way to deny me.  They allegedly sold my business to an insider, Reza Toulabi in a preferred deal.  My business was appraised at $12-16 Million but they allegedly sold it for $3.5 Million.  They told potential bidders only my stock would be sold and that there were other stockholders.  That would be news to me.  They told high qualifying bidders not to come to the auction.  I had to file bankruptcy to stop the unreasonable auction which screwed me for years.  They harassed me at every opportunity.  They terrorized me and my family and nearly tore us apart.  No-one not even my niece went to jail over the issues.  They stole like crazy and got away with it.  Even in the distressed situation I should have been able to come out intact.  Instead I was destroyed.  

I was warned that MB had mob ties before I went with them.  I didn't believe that then but I do now.  They are very bad people and it's an onerous bank.
