Opening a bank account isn’t the easiest process in the world. Most banks require a minimum starting balance to begin, but once you’ve got an account, managing money becomes much easier. But when one man tried to open an account at a Nebraska bank, tellers were startled with the amount he was ready to start with. The staff of the Pinnacle Bank in Lincoln was unsure how to respond to the visitor when he slapped a “1-million-dollar bill” on the counter and demanded to open a savings account.

The police are also looking for him, but not to punish him: They’re worried he might have been duped by a con artist! Everyone in Nebraska seems so nice…
