I'm bored 2night. Let's play detective.
1) every celeb uses a llc for their money,
2) no bank teller is that dumb to misspell 'verified'.
[from article] "AND one of Sheen's business associates to verify the transaction"
3) NO RANDOM TELLER you walk up to says "please hold" and then goes calls the account holder and his associates(s) (how would the random teller have his business associate's # anyway??) to verify checks. Tellers aren't trained to verify voices.
4) You can't cash checks made out to cash. It has to be in your name (esp at that amount).
5) No way a check made out to cash would "clear" on the spot and one would walk out with $30k in cash.
6) His real name's not charlie sheen.
7) When you cash a check (the 26th) they don't give it back to you. It takes a few days to clear before it's viewable on your efile. She didn't cash it then ask the teller to photocopy it first so she can sell it to tmz.
8) Why didn't TMZ even name the 'porn star'? Unknown name. Uh huh.
9) You can't just cash out a check made out for 'cash' for $30k and walk out. Drug dealers & the mob would use this all the time as payment and hiding from the IRS. You have to report cash over $10k to the irs (
Workbook on Reporting Cash Payments of Over $10,000) along with your social, name, etc.
10) If she didn't have a bank account with them - they would tell her to go to her bank. If she did, they would deposit it and it would go in her account after it clears (1-2 weeks).
Probalby a check Charlie used to withdraw cash. Then a bank teller sold it to tmz along with this porn star story for $900. Maybe TMZ made up the story (I woudln't be surprised).
That's why this city sucks at time. People will lie about celebs in 2 seconds to make a quick buck and tabloids always look the other way (ever read the enquirer?). Someone probably made it up in photoshop and sold it to tmz for $900. I could've done that too. I've heard if someone outs TMZ in the comments and proves the story is fake - TMZ will delete the comment and ban the IP.
(remember: this is a company that supposedly fires people who complain about employees using drugs on the job

Try it yourself: have ur friend write out a check for $30k. Go to a bank and cash it. See if the bank will call your friend to verify on the phone
