U.S. Bank Discrimination Lawsuit

Discrimination lawsuit brought by a former employee of U.S. Bank, who had bank accounts for herself individually and her side businesses. Her business accounts were shut down by the bank after they had been fraudulently inflated by false money orders. She filed a lawsuit alleging that this act by the bank was discriminatory based upon her race and ethnicity, and interestingly relied upon several Civil War-era statutes in support of her claims.
