Valery had a check from the State of Maryland made out to Mr. and Mrs. Valery in the amount of three million dollars, which they wished to deposit in their joint account. It was a payment in connection with a historic tax credit that had been awarded by the State of Maryland for a development project Valery recently spearheaded to transform an abandoned Baltimore church into a brewery and affordable housing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=teazHG8enE2ukJIS1gm4yAs0NGM6MIYCE15hqQ418v3VzfUCJfhWN0NCyuFgu84nA6jWPr_TXC7UAmjl6IwKLM9aNzMt3t2Pwg_x2BKO8f1gq2W8z8tF_3jEWojuFadWp55bB1w82qmDJnQ5lwH-zdtUPsQH77HubuIaE7evJMC3xYu9rOm2mqIW6BgkqI5dxk302BPeE5-WyNuR0RIoWVfNmq73Tks5w1Fj428Ga1EkbR5phjv_WKG-h8J_af6AhkC3r1DVUcVZxAPTcacNwQ==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/opinion\/columnists\/dan-rodricks\/bs-md-rodricks-0605-story.html<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The complaint stated when Valery presented the check for deposit, he was a customer of over 20 years standing with Wells Fargo, with multiple accounts under his name.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cYet, instead of simply depositing the check and thanking Mr. Valery for his continued patronage of Wells Fargo, the bank manager emerged and proceeded to barrage him, in front of his wife, with a battery of interrogatives questioning his entitlement to the funds and his knowledge of what the funds were for, and then the manager affirmatively suggested he was not the type of person who should be allowed to possess proceeds in such an amount,\u201d Beck said. \u201cEven after Mr. Valery calmly and professionally attempted to explain the source of the check and the nature of the tax credit involved (none of which he was required to divulge to the banker but which he did in order to placate the situation and facilitate the transaction), the Wells Fargo manager continued to refuse Mr. Valery\u2019s request to deposit the funds in the joint account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Beck said the suit seeks to certify an Injunctive Relief and a Damages Class of all black individual bank customers of Wells Fargo. Attorneys are also asking the court to order Wells Fargo to implement whatever measures are necessary to remedy the violation of law described in the complaint; to notify each and every black banking customer of Wells Fargo an opportunity to obtain damages or restitution; and to order Wells Fargo to pay damages, including compensatory damages and punitive damages.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cIt is a shameful remnant of an era in American history when black people were considered property rather than individuals with the right to own property,\u201d Beck added. \u201cThe time has long since come to put an end to this, once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Members of the press can join the media conference via Zoom:<\/p>\n<p>Topic: Valery v.
