How are you proving that the lender did this ? maybe he doesn't want to work with you because he thinks you are crazy for bringing up this type of theory.

I honestly doubt this was the lender, if they are an established lender/funder maybe the only thing that would make sense is a rogue employee but even then I would be careful with using their name unless you are 100% sure that it was them. Its a pretty serious allegation. I would just wait and let the authorities do their job, if someone walked into a branch they should have video.

Absolutely agree here, which is why I attempted to be so vague in my post. I believe in innocence until proven guilty. However the merchant has since reached the lender directly about this issue and they assured him they have legal working on it. This being the first time this happened to me or one of my clients I was curious to see if anyone else had come accross something similar in our industry.
