The attorney for the man charged with last year's deadly shooting rampage at Texas' Fort Hood Army post says his client, who is still on the military's payroll, can't find a bank willing to cash his checks.
Attorney says Hasan is lucid and won't plead guilty to charges of killing 13.

While Maj. Nidal Hasan sits in Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas, waiting for his next hearing in October, his lawyer, John Galligan, has been shopping around to banks trying to find a financial institution willing to take on his client as a customer.

"Various banks have refused, without any specificity, to permit Hasan to open a checking account where he can have his military pay deposited," Galligan told ABC News.

"He is a major in the United States Army and will therefore be paid until he is no longer a major," said Lt. Col. Chris Garver. "So yes, he's still receiving payment."

According to Army records, Hasan stands to receive a check for about $6,000 every month. He is also eligible for what the Army calls an "incentive pay" that could be as much as $15,000 annually. Galligan declined to comment on how much Hasan is worth.

1. Sorry... can't build up any sympathy for the guy

He killed tens of innocent people.

He did so because of a warped understanding of his own religion.



Fuck him.

4. No sympathy from me...

none at all.

2. Sometimes due process is a tough pill to swallow nt

3. Its EFT which I believe is required these days if you are a Federal employee

and there are lots of ways around this...

7. There are plenty of E2s and E3s with credit so bad they can't get a checking account

So there's an EFT option for a debit card to an account that just gets your deposit. It's the sort of thing you'll see at check cashing / payday loan places. He could just sign up for that.

5. Wheel him into an Army barracks and let him complain about his paychecks.

I'm sure he'd get a lot of interesting feedback.

6. he's getting paid $6,000 a month?

that's outrageous.

9. Base pay + housing for a major

$6K sounds about right.

8. Dump the bank - go to a Credit Union !!11!!

Just 'cuz it gets said in any thread that even mentions banks and I never get to say it.

12. Shit, sign 'em over to me. I'll only take a 50% service fee.

Why does he need a local bank, anyway? It's not like he's going to be visiting the tellers at the branch...

I'd be very surprised if he couldn't find an online bank to take his money.

13. Exactly. Isn't there a federal bank for federal employees?

I don't know why he can't direct deposit there.

I think this is just the lawyer trying to drum up any sympathy he can for his piece of excrement client.

14. As a service member he could join USAA.

But I really doubt that Chase or Citi or any of the other big players with online presences would refuse him.

Yes, this is pretty clearly the lawyer doing that lawyer thing. I'll give the lawyer points for creativity in trying his best to defend this difficult client.

15. Why does he need monye? He gets three squares a day...and will for a long time. I hope. nt
