PNC Financial Services Group has contacted the FBI seeking a criminal investigation into a $25 million dollar bad check.

According to the bank, Solomon Dwek made a $25.4 million deposit with a teller, telling the bank employee that he had recently talked to “corporate” to reopen his previously closed account. He then ordered wire transfers to totaling $23 million to pay off debts.
