DiBella came out swinging and stated that the bank had cashed a stolen check that he wrote to Amex paying the funds to a random lady. Moreover, he added that there was another cheque that the bank misplaced and ended up paying the wrong person.
AN ANGRY THREAD:
In October, @CapitalOne bank cashed a stolen check that I wrote to Amex for many thousands of dollars, that wasn’t altered, paying the proceeds to some random lady who signed it! They also wrongly paid on a check to Barclays Bank, also not altered, that wasn’t…— Lou DiBella (@loudibella) December 10, 2022
In his next tweet, he claimed that the money was deducted from his account and had not been recovered. In addition, he sounded off on the service he was getting from the bank stating that he had already visited the bank on multiple occasions but saw no progress.
… endorsed AT ALL. The money was taken from my account, and hasn’t been restored, though #CapitalOne is to blame. I’ve been given the runaround for two months, can’t get help at my branch, have been put on hold 1000 times, and have been treated like I’m the one who f’ed up! …

In the next tweet, he added that despite not being at fault Capital One was not returning the amount stolen from his bank account.
… I’m sitting here seething, as I’ve had hassles with both @AmericanExpress and @Barclays despite correctly writing checks that were improperly cashed by @CapitalOne. Most infuriating is that #CapitalOne won’t restore the stolen money despite KNOWING that this is on them! …

Moreover, he then revealed that the bank had opened an ‘investigation’ to look into the matter. However, DeBella then stated that this was a farce as the bank itself was to blame for this whole fiasco.

Lastly, he called out the bank for their poor service and failed attempts to restore his money back. He also warned his audiences to conduct any kind of business with the bank at their own risk. In addition, he had one last two worded message for the bank that lost his money.
… ACCOUNT WHOLE. Shameful! Do business with @CapitalOne at your own risk! I have NEVER dealt with a more automated, less professional, more disrespectful, or less humane financial institution. I’m just Case ID 20221122000189Z to them. One last thing, @CapitalOne… pic.twitter.com/Za4kNFxFPN

Dibella was certainly not happy with his current bank to the point he had to publically call them out. However, this is understandable given that he is a boxing promoter and does business involving a lot of moving parts.
He will now be looking to change his bank and will be more than happy to part ways with Captial One after this debacle.
