3. Checking accounts

In recognition of Winda Earl who was a victim, she opened a checking account. Although Hotman said, a checking account (account status) and savings are two different things.

“The next question is, did W admit yesterday that he got a checking account? Did he know that savings didn’t have a checking account? That means he should have known why I got a checking account while the one I opened was a savings book. Even the passbook is still in your possession. Person A, “Hotman explained.

4. The flow of funds to the victim’s father’s account.
