They got it back but nobody wants to read the rest of the article

The way Hinrich saw it, his money had been stolen. So he reported it to the federal comptroller of currency, which makes sure banks obey the law.
"That didn't work either; they accepted Wells Fargo's letter saying I didn't have an account with them therefore they couldn't help me," Hinrich said.
The federal agency closed the case. No one would listen.
"This is $10,000 we're talking here, so that's when I had the idea to call 7 On Your Side," Hinrich said.
7 On Your Side showed all the documents to Wells Fargo and requested the bank deliver a check to Hinrich's daughter in Los Angeles right away.
"She went into the bank and said she wasn't going to leave until she had the $10,000," Hinrich said.
Myron says his daughter sat in the bank in Los Angeles for two hours until finally the check was in her hand.
Wells Fargo says it only needed a letter of indemnity from Westamerica Bank stating the check was valid. Once Hinrich provided that letter, the bank returned the money to the family.
Wells Fargo did not explain why the check was deemed fraudulent in the first place and still cannot explain how it could take $10,000 out of Hinrich's account nearly a year ago, yet still question the validity of the check. The bank claimed it had been holding the money in a separate account all this time, which was news to Hinrich.
The comptroller of the currency declined to comment about its role in closing the case.
