JPMorgan Chase Expands Lawsuits Over 'Infinite Money Glitch' Fraud

The bank is now targeting smaller-scale fraud cases in state courts while exploring challenges to bankruptcy filings by alleged perpetrators.

Overview

  • JPMorgan Chase has initiated new state court lawsuits against individuals accused of exploiting the 'infinite money glitch' for amounts under $75,000.
  • The glitch, which went viral on social media in August 2024, involved depositing fraudulent checks and withdrawing funds before the checks bounced.
  • The bank has sent over 1,000 repayment demand letters since October 2024, with some individuals voluntarily returning funds.
  • Legal actions are separate from potential criminal cases, and JPMorgan is actively cooperating with law enforcement to hold fraudsters accountable.
  • JPMorgan is also considering contesting bankruptcy filings by alleged fraudsters to prevent debts from being discharged.
