While it hasn't happened to me (poor) I have heard in the news about sudden windfalls getting your bank account frozen.

sitnspin:
any deposit or withdraw over a certain amount automatically gets flagged.

Farideh:
Well, that explains a lot. I've had the bank call me when I did an unexpectedly large payment on my credit card, just to make sure that the card wasn't stolen or anything. I do appreciate that.

Gus_Smedstad:
That last panel pretty much encapsulates why I'm not sold on May as a money manager, or manager of anything. "LA LA LA DON'T CARE CAN'T HEAR YOU" is pretty typical May, and money manager / organizer involves a lot of boring detail work. Marigold really needs someone with Roko's personality who cares about what happens to Marigold. Momo would do a MUCH better job, though I totally understand why she doesn't want to endanger her friendship with Marigold.

Also, this feels like a huge retcon. What actually happened is that Jeph decided to do this Marigold plot, and this strip is rationalizing why we've never heard about it prior to this. Which I don't really think is needed; Marigold keeping it to herself and/or not really believing the money was coming in is more than enough explanation for me.

They were worried that someone stole  your card and then paid off your balance? That doesn't make much sense. Thieves steal cards to run up charges, not pay them off.

I did have a credit card company call me once for making a large payment. I'd just recently gotten the card, and they didn't know that I never, ever keep a  balance. They thought because I'd paid off the complete balance - SOP for me - I was unhappy with the card and planned on cancelling it.

Farideh:
Sorry, bad phrasing. I meant that I made a large purchase on my CC.
