What is the name of your state? Virginia
My Manager took money from my account authorized amount of $8000+dollars. (for himself). The bank want we to sign paper work stating such so they can sue him . (manager was fired) Can I sue the bank for heiring this person that took advantage of customer? What is my recourse?

I am basing my answer on the assumption that this was a bank manager and not your employer.

The bank manager stole $8000 from your account, was fired and the bank wants to sue him. This must mean that the bank has reimbursed you for the $8000, otherwise it would be up to you to sue the manager to recover the funds.

So long as the bank has made you whole by giving you back the $8K and vaiving any fees due to the lower balance, then you have no damages to sue anyone for.

For the bank to be liable, they must have been negligent by hiring someone that they should have known would take advantage of their customers. Also, you would have needed to suffer actual damages, not just a temporary drop in funds.

Bank Fraud


Thanks for your answer. Yes It was the bank Manager that took the money. The bank has not paid me back as yet. The would lie me to sign documents then they will repay my account after which they would try to sue the manager for fraud. My problem I am so afraid that if this young man goes to jail I fear what might happen when he get back out. I feel so afraid. very afraid.
Thanks
