JPMorgan Chase is in the spotlight after freezing a deposited check and refusing to allow a couple to access their funds for nearly two years.

It began when Jose Maximiliano’s wife Maria Mercedes Diaz Ortiz deposited a $102,914 check into her account, reports NBC 5 Chicago.

The six-figure check was compensation awarded to Maximiliano following an accident at work.

Jose had permanently returned to Mexico, so he personally endorsed the check there before his wife deposited it.

But after it was deposited, JPMorgan Chase froze the check and blocked Ortiz’s accounts, including one that had $3,115 in it.

Despite Ortiz presenting her marriage certificate, ID and other documents several times in a bid to make her case to JPMorgan Chase, the money remained frozen for nearly two years. At that point, Maximiliano’s family turned to NBC 5 Chicago for help.

Upon NBC 5 Chicago contacting JPMorgan Chase about the matter, the lender returned a total of $106,029.

The bank then released a statement on what happened.

“To help prevent fraud, we restricted the account after additional review and information provided by a customer, we released the funds and regret the delay in this process.”

China’s mineral moves shake global tech and defense

China’s mineral moves shake global tech and defense

The post China’s mineral moves shake global tech and defense appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China’s overseas sales of rare-earth products hit a record in August, just days before an expected phone call between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump that could touch on the sensitive materials at the heart of high-tech manufacturing and defense. Shipments of rare-earth products, including high-performance magnets used in consumer electronics and fighter aircraft reached 7,338 tons last month, according to Bloomberg calculations based on government data. It marks the highest monthly level since early 2012 in the available records. The surge follows a steep drop earlier this year after Beijing curbed some rare-earth exports amid a growing trade dispute with the US. A pause in tensions followed. Following talks in Madrid this week, President Trump said he intends to hold a phone call with President Xi on Friday. Beijing’s rare earth rules tightened in April, cutting trade. Cryptopolitan earlier reported when China set export controls in response to higher U.S. tariffs and limits on technology transfer by Western nations. China supplies over 70% of rare earths and handles about 90% of processing. The Ministry of Commerce said the measures protect national security. New licenses slowed approvals, slashing shipments in April and May. The delays disrupted supply chains and forced auto makers outside Beijing to pause output for shortages. In July, the European Parliament urged the EU to bolster key strengths and warned China’s licensing rules seek sensitive data. Germanium demand overwhelms supply chains Pressure is also building in another corner of the strategic metals market. Chinese limits on exports of germanium, a metal vital for military thermal-imaging systems found in fighter jets and other equipment, have created a sharp supply squeeze and driven prices to their highest level in at least 14 years, traders say. Beijing announced in 2023 that it would halt exports of germanium, gallium and antimony after the…
