Complaint Review: Mike E. Travis

After a little more digging, i was able to find out a little more about Eddie's criminal activities in Blount County, TN.

Seems this idiot has been passing counterfiet checks for his girlfriend for a long time now.

At last count, I have stopped at 68 businesses on the Eastern end of Blount County, inquiring about Mike "Eddie" Travis. Seems he has left quite a paper trail of incriminating evidence.

Out of the 68, I found 12 businesses that he has ripped off. Four of these businesses are owned by personal friends of mine. That happens when you live in the same place for 35 years.

What was this guy thinking? Does this deralict not know that what comes around goes around in East TN? Does this moronic coward think he is untouchable?

Eddie has much more to worry about from me than anything our halfass court system has to offer.

I just can't wait for the call that he is currently in one of those businesses that I spoke of.

Trust me, everyone has promised to call if Eddie the thief Travis should make the mistake of entering one of these businesses again.

And if so, then I'll be waiting on him to come out...

What a dumb*&*!

Cory, in this state, when the DA's office is provided with enough eveidence to prosecute, then I'm sure they will do that. FTB's security department is just lousy and half-a*s.

Part of the criminal court system in this state provides for theft and generally includes restitution. That means that actually collecting the money will cost the bank nothing. Understand?

If found guilty, then little trashy Eddie will not only go prison but he will also have to pay restitution. The state can actually sieze his property to cover the debt of $2800 plus his defense attorney's bill plus fines and probably some sort of fee from the DA's office. The DA, Mike Flynn, in Blount County TN is pretty sorry so I wouldn't expect much.

I spoke with a buddy of mine who handled a case of mine not long ago and he said that this will probably put this guy in the hole for about $10K.

GOOD.

Also, after you've worked somewhere as long as she has, you tend to not make very many mistakes so I'm quite sure that everything was according to policy.

It's real easy to tell if cash is counterfeit, but with modern technology concerning printing, I'd say you could just about counterfeit anything. And just how do you tell if a check is counterfeit? You can feel the difference in paper when handling cash. Or at least my mother was able to on many many many occassions.

It doesn't really matter at this point. My mother has officially retired and told FTD what they can do with their underhandedness and cowardice. She has all her retirement benefits intact at this point unless FTB tries to pull something underhanded. I'm happy that she is no longer working with a bunch of trash, hypocrites and adulterers.

She has been in contact with another bank and will probably be making more money and most definitely dealing with fewer deralicts around her.

The conversation went well with the Maryville area president. I informed him of all the shortcomings of Roger Young and a few other people. He promised to hold them as accountable as my mother was held by security.

He came across as a pretty genuine guy and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he will get the information to the right people. Afterall, it is POOR MANAGEMENT that created the situation that lead to my mother's early retirement.

That POOR MANAGEMENT is something that he CAN do something about. We'll see.............

I would love to tell you why the First Tennessee Main Office in Maryville has had armed guards down there for several days. It's not because of me or my mother, but because of criminal activity involving their employees and what kind of trahsy life they lead outside of work. I'm SURE that there are drugs involved judging by the KIND of people they are.

31 years of good service...................and this is how they treat you at First Tennessee Bank.

Makes you want to rush right out a put your money in their bank, right? I'd be afraid that someone at the main office might steal it all to support their inner-city habits. Nice, girls.........real nice. I bet your fathers are all real proud.

Lastly, I ran into the neighbor of Eddie yesterday at the tobacco store. Turns out that the check that Eddie passed was for $2800. I'm glad that he told me that because actually I was wrong according to FTB.

IT WAS A $2800 COUNTERFEIT CHECK.

Turns out that my mistake and Eddie's neighbor, further implicated Eddie in this felony that he commited at the Sky City Branch of FTB where my mother worked. We'll have to just chalk that up to divine intervention and the stupidity of drugged out thievin' trailer trash.

In less than 48 hours, I have enough proof to go to the DA myself to have this low-life trailer-trash SOB prosecuted myself.

But I wouldn't help FTB out if they were the last bank in Blount County. They're going to just have to eat that $2800 at this point and that serves the SOB's right! I wouldn't lift a finger to help them out.

How you like them apples, FTB?

I take it your mother works for FTB. That said, did she violate any policies or procedures when she cashed the check for the scumbag? If that's the case, they will use that as a pretext to terminate her. We all know that the reason they are getting rid of her is because she has been there soo long, that they are paying her top dollar in terms of salary and they can hire two or three "newbies" for what they are paying your mom. They're really not interested in finding, finding out where the scumbag lives or works cause it's more trouble for them to collect and prosecute, when they can collect under their insurance, if that's the case and/or write it off as a loss under their taxes. They might have to spend hundreds of manhours to prosecute under the law and BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, they won't collect s**t.

My wife worked for a local security credit union for 16 years. They spent 8 months harassing her into quitting. Hell. they could hire two and a half "newbies" for what they were paying her. She resigned 3 years ago. She was the first to go. They've spent the last 3 years running off all the old timers. It sucks but that's the way things are now. There is no loyalty from these companies anymore and they wonder why they can't find good help. As for mr travis, find out how many wants and warrants he has. He probably has them all over TN and different parts of the country. When you find out about the wants and warrants, contact the local sheriff/PD and let them know, including the FBI and the US Secret Service. The SS will be more interested in the counterfeiting aspect especially if FTB is a federally insured bank. The FBI is more interested if travis has crossed state lines to avoid prosecution(IFAP). Good luck to you and your Mom.

Turns out that within 30 mins of searching for this guy on the internet, I had found him.

Within 10 mins, I was sitting in front of his house and actually spoke to one of his neighbors.

Turns out that this guy actually goes by Eddie and his live-in girlfriend is currently in trouble for passing bad checks.

Funny that the security department at first tennesse bank let on like they haven't been able to find the guy. Really? Maybe I have a future......................

Incidentally this incident happened on the first of the month. That's 22 days ago.................and the bank couldn't find this deralict? BS!

I have an appointment to speak with the President of Maryville Operations of First Tennessee bank today. Depending on how this conversation goes, I may just have to let the worl know about what all has gone on at first tennesse bank through years.

Especially the parts concerning Roger "CHURCH-KEY" Young and his comments concerning people being "older than dirt" and retirement. I would have to think that is age discrimination or at the very least harassment. He pulled this stuff with another female employee at the bank several years ago and she got so upset that she went ahead and retired. She's a personal friend of the family and I think would make a great witness in any kind of civil trial that might follow.

I also have several problems concerning the security department at first tn bank. I won't get ino to that at this point but it all depends on how this situation plays out.

If they want to be underhanded, I start dropping names and stories that customers and investors should know about the bank's shortcomings.

If they want to handle this with a little integrity and class, then they have nothing to worry about.

Trust me when i say that I have some serious dirt. Also, First TN needs to remember that I'm pretty sure they're lots of people in Blount County who will only do business with my mother. Some of these folks have ALOT of money in the bank. Would be a shame for first tn if these folks pulled all their greenbacks out over how my mother was treated.

Anyways...........................looks like it's on again! Do these corporate folks never learn that you can't violate people's rights? I mean C'MON!

Trust me, if I can have a company like Pizza Hut shaking in their boots, first tn bank will probably need some sort of medication or counseling. Afterall, they're nowhere near as big as Pizza Hut or YUM! Food.

Lastly, If Travis in SECURITY at First TN needs to tell me something, he needs to grow some backbone and tell me himself rather than acting like a coward over the phone with my mother. Doing dirty work like this over the phone is completely and totally unprofessional, cowardly and shows a complete and total lack of conscience. But then again, we've come to expect that from the brass at first tn bank.
