Good Afternoon!
The "Send us a blank check" quote is not from the alleged South
African official trying to smuggle $ out of the country....
It is from the State Bar Court of California.
I ran a search on the CA State Bar website for an attorney and came up
with "not entitled to practice law in Calif." They supplied a phone
number for the State Bar Court if you want to order a copy of the
discipline record to get the juicy details. You get a recording which
indicates that since they cannot ascertain the length of the document
you should snail mail them a BLANK CHECK....and you are advised to write
in the notation line "for not more than $30"...and the service takes a
7-10 days.
Let me run down to my accounting dept and ask for a blank check....with
the "not for more than $30" notation, of course....
There IS good news, however! If you run the attorney's name in the
regular search box (as opposed to the one labeled "attorney search") the
pertinent details of the discipline record come right up in an online
copy of the CA State Bar Journal. And I didnt even send the blank
check. ;))
So, has anyone ever sent out any blank checks?? Just curious!
Ya can't make this stuff up.
