Always good to be aware of something that stinks.
I think there is a way to get the bank to fully clear a cashier's
check before you give money away. In fact I know there is. Then the
bank can't take your money legally. If they do you can sue based on
the theory of "detrimental reliance". Attorneys please comment.
