Stan Mikita 630x841 Blackhawks legend Stan Mikita has $100k stolen in identity theft

Stan Mikita, one of the greatest hockey players of all-time and who now serves as the Blackhawks ambassador of good will had more than 100,000 dollars stolen from him in a two week span.

From WBBM 780 Chicago…

The Mikitas have always been careful with money. Still are. So you can imagine their shock when they realized someone had added online checking to their account and stolen $100,000.

The Mikitas say the bank never alerted them to suspicious activity, even though it was out of character for them since they never used online banking.

“They thought we were doing it,” Stan said.

A spokesman for MB Financial says they are working to figure out what happened, are trying to keep the Mikitas informed and are fully cooperating with Burr Ridge Police.

I’m a bit confused here…The bank never thought it was odd that 100k disappeared from an account that was just created and from people who never use online banking?

I can barely go out of the state and pump gas with my credit card without getting a phone call making sure its me.

A simple “Hi Mr. Mikita, this is MB Financial, unless you took out 100,000 dollars to spend on hookers and blow recently, we think your identity has been stolen”.

The irony here is not lost either. A man who is a good will ambassador has this done to him around the holidays?

Damn, might as well beat Tiny Tim over the head with his crutches while you’re at it.

What'd you think of this?
