Patrick Combs tells the amazing-but-true story of how he deposited a $95,093.35 junk-mail check marked ‘non-negotiable’ - hoping to spread a little banking cheer to tellers - and how it erupted into a staggering and funny David vs Goliath-like adventure that still continues today if you count his internationally touring, award winning, off-Broadway one-man show about the incident. 

What happens after the bank cashes the ridiculous check?
To name only a few things: angry banking officers threatening “jail time” and “death”; the nation’s leading authority on banking coming out of retirement; astonishing legal twists; and worldwide media coverage (including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Good Morning America and calls from Letterman & Leno).
