They've robbed ANOTHER IBC Bank....Oklamhoma again
It's getting laughable...IBC banks seemed to be getting robbed almost every day.
This time, SUNDAY , yes, yesterday, the day I was posting about other bank robberies at
IBC banks. Well, http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=20080421_1_A7_hTwoT46701
"4/21/2008
A man with a gun robbed a bank Sunday afternoon in the 5300 block of East Skelly Drive, authorities said.
The bank heist was the second in as many days in Tulsa.
The robber walked into the IBC Bank at 5302 E. Skelly Drive at 1:20 p.m., demanding money from two tellers, Police Sgt. Dave Walker said. The man was armed with a large-caliber, semi-automatic pistol.
The robber told the tellers, "Give me all your money; don't do anything funny. This isn't a joke," Walker said.
He fled the bank in a white, four-door Chevy Silverado pickup with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said. "
===================End of Quote-----Commentary on the above follows------
Notice something interesting? I noted about previous IBC bank robberies, they keep saying
that the robber made off with "an undisclosed amount of money". Hmmmm...they don't know, or they aren't saying how much he stole?
If THEY DON'T KNOW... that is scary. Between alleged embezzlement, employees stealing from customers, and robbers getting away successfully from robbing IBC banks, why would anyone put their money in these places?

LAREDO NEWS- IBC Robbery shoot out: Thieves swim across the river to Nuevo Laredo with cash

A bank robbery at the IBC at Wal-Mart South Saturday night ended with the suspects shooting a police car, then racing to El Portal where they escaped into the brush along the Rio Grand and swam to the Mexican shore carrying bags of cash.Tow trucks pulled out a dark-colored Toyota Tundra out of the river late Saturday while a Border Patrol helicopter, Webb County Sheriff’s deputies, Texas Rangers, and other law enforcement officials oversaw the scene. When the car was pulled out it was surrounded by law enforcement officers in full protective gear.
Police say at least two men with high powered-weapons robbed the IBC bank inside Wal-Mart, in the 4400 block of U.S. 83, taking several thousand dollars, and shot at a Laredo Police crusiser during a high-speed chase, without injuring the officer.
Several police and Webb County patrol units were believed to have been damaged in the high-speed chase. The robbers then sped toward Bridge No. 2, where they then abandoned the stolen truck near the intersection of Pedregal and Sta. Cleotilde Ave. and fled into Los Dos Laredos Park, just north of El Portal.
Although a police helicopter had come to the scene the robbers are believed to have swum to the Mexican side of the Rio Grand, carrying bags of money, and escaped into Nuevo Laredo.
The situation was confused, police said, by a second robbery of the truck in the 4500 block of Hachar Lane.
The victim told police that two men ran up to him, pointed a handgun, and stole his black 2006 Toyota Tundra pickup.
During the high-speed chase along Highway 83 and Loop 20 officers attempted to stop the truck and were fired on by the suspects, police said. Police report that at least one car was hit by gunfire.
Local and federal agencies were called into the chase and during the pursit the truck went into downtown Laredo and ran into the river at high speed. It was later hauled out by police.
After the two men swam to Nueva Laredo authorities in Mexico were notified and are said, by Laredo police, to be assisting in the investigation.

Police: IBC robbery would cover embezzlement
IBC Bank is based in the city of Laredo Texas, since, the CEO, Dennis E. Nixon and corporate headquarters is there.
Well, it made me look into what kinds of stuff involving the IBC bank in that part of Texas is going on, and low and behold, look what I found.

Police: IBC robbery would cover embezzlement
By ZACHARY FRANZ, LAREDO MORNING TIMES
10/06/2007
A botched bank robbery earlier this week may have been an effort to cover up one robber's embezzling scheme, said Jose E. Baeza, a spokesman for the Laredo Police Department.Carlos Moreno, a 24-year-old International Bank of Commerce teller supervisor, was charged Thursday with felony theft after a bank audit revealed that money for which he was responsible was missing. Moreno was already in jail on charges that he and two other men broke into the IBC branch where Moreno worked and stole more than $200,000.
Another teller, Jose Cabrera, was also charged with felony theft on Thursday, Baeza said. Cabrera was not involved in the robbery, but the subsequent audit also revealed shortages in money Cabrera managed, Baeza said. Cabrera was arrested Thursday afternoon after turning himself in to Laredo police.
Police believe the two men embezzled more than $50,000 each from the bank, Baeza said.
Both men were taking cash from the bank over an extended period of time, then would alter figures to make it appear that accounts were balanced, Baeza said.
But Moreno was scheduled to go on leave, at which point bank officials routinely do a hard count of currency managed by the employee before that money is transferred to another employee's supervision. Police believe that Moreno knew the count would reveal shortages, and planned the burglary in part to hide the fact he had been taking money.
"He knew he was going to get discovered, so it was do or die," Baeza said. "It was a win-win situation for him. He was going to get more money, and cover up his other crime."
Police believe Moreno and two other men entered the IBC branch on the 2400 block of San Isidro Parkway Sunday night using security access codes provided by Moreno. The men then used black spray paint to cover security cameras, and filled bags with money from the vault, police said.
Moreno, who resides in the 3200 block of Frost Street, was arrested for the burglary on Tuesday at 3 a.m. Also arrested were Arnulfo Lares Jr., 25, who resides in the 1500 block of Madison Street, and Jesus Dominguez, 25, who resides in the 4100 block of Eagle Pass Avenue.
Following the burglary, bank officials conducted a thorough audit of bank property, which led to the discovery of the cash shortages, Baeza said.
"(The alleged embezzlement) was a stupid crime because eventually you're going to be caught," Baeza said.
"If you take $50, maybe you can replace that later when you get paid, but you're not going to replace $50,000."
Cabrera was taken to Webb County Jail and held on $30,000 bond. An additional $50,000 bond was placed on Moreno. He also has a bond totaling $200,000 for the burglary-related charges.
The theft charges are third-degree felonies, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. "

Bank robbery suspect sighted -- in the same IBC bank-from 2007
I guess some robbers want to rob the same IBC bank twice, maybe it was so easy the first time.
Why do I say that? Check out this article from an Oklahoma paper about an IBC situation...
Last Update: 7/23/2007 2:29 pm
Police think the man who robbed an IBC Bank branch on Friday may have returned to another bank he had robbed earlier in the year for another holdup. However, a teller asked him to remove his hat and sunglasses as he stood in line, and he ran away.The first robbery took place July 9 at the IBC Bank located at 3332 E. 51st Street.Detective Sgt. Dave Walker of the Tulsa Police Department says that robbery bears striking similarities to the robbery of another IBC branch which occurred just after 2:30 p.m. Friday at the IBC Bank located at 5302 E. Skelly Drive.
Then about 11:45 a.m. Saturday, police say, a man who may be the same suspect walked in to the East 51st Street branch and stood in line.When a teller asked him to remove his hat and sunglasses, he fled the bank on foot.Police describe him as a white male, 30-40 years old, about 5 feet 9 to 11 inches tall, and weighing between 150 and 170 pounds.He has light brown hair and a moustache, and wore a red ball cap with a logo on the front.

IBC IN OKLAHOMA ROBBED IN FEBRUARY 2008
It seems these IBC banks are getting robbed all over the place. We've JUST posted a robbery in Austin Texas that happened yesterday (today's post is Sunday, April 20.2008), but I just found out that the IBC in Oklahoma was robbed a couple of months ago.
http://www.kswo.com/global/story.asp?s=7937663

LAWTON, Okla. (AP) - Authorities say the first bank robbery in Lawton this year happened at a branch of IBC Bank.
Lawton Police Capt. Will Hines says two men walked into the bank just after 10:30 a.m. Wednesday and left with an undisclosed amount of money. Police are studying surveillance video to determine if 1 of the men was armed and for physical descriptions.
Hines says no one was injured, but people were shaken up.
After the pair fled on foot, deputy chief Michael Johnson says police dogs searched the area but couldn't track the robbers because high foot traffic.
Authorities are searching for two males wearing dark clothing, but no racial identification or other characteristics were available."
-SNIP=----->
Now, look at the article. The ONLY description the bank people apparently gave was they were two men wearing "dark clothing". They didn't even tell law enforcement if they were hispanic, white, black, etc. And, we don't even know what exact color the clothes were or what kind of clothes...e.g. was it a black pair of cutoffs and a black t-shirt, or dark maroon button down shirt and navy Docker slacks? And, heaven forbid these master criminals might actually change into "light clothes". Now they are invisible, right?
How retarded are the IBC bank employees, and how unobservant are they?

ANOTHER IBC BANK IS ROBBED...SATURDAY, APRIL 19TH, IN AUSTIN
We JUST reported bank robberies of the IBC (International Bank of Commerce, associated with the International Bancshares Corporation) in April, and now, astonishingly, ANOTHER robbery of an IBC bank occurred. This time in Austin. The news article is at http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/blotter/entries/2008/04/19/ibc_bank_robbed_saturday.html"Home > 2008 > April > 19 >

If the latter is the case, how sloppy is their accounting, and why would anyone keep money there?

IS YOUR MONEY UNSAFE AT IBC BANKS, INTERNATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE, SOUTH TEXAS ?
We have just recently reported that an employee of the IBC bank in McAllen Texas, is in custody for allegedly stealing one hundred thousand dollars, yes friends, $100,000.00 , from a customer of the bank, and the Secret Service was in on the capture. Also, there is a story about an elderly lady who allegedly had fifteen thousand, four hundred dollars, mysteriously DISAPPEAR from her safe deposit box. This happened because bank employees were allegedly getting both the bank key and her key, and were alone with the safe deposit box for some time without surveillance cameras watching. This was discovered on February 12, 2008, and the alleged hundred thousand dollar theft was in the latter part of March, 2008.

Now, apparently an IBC bank in San Antonio Texas was robbed, around April 15,2008.
" Around the same time, police say a man robbed the IBC Bank near Loop 410 and Highway 151 on the West Side.
Officers say the suspect was wearing a brown sweater and blue beanie and handed a teller a note demanding money.
He also claimed to have a gun, but never showed it.
The man got the money, then walked out of the bank."
But, it doesn't stop there friends...
How about Central Texas?
April saw yet ANOTHER loss of money from IBC due to illegal acts.

| Luling bank robber remains at large 4/4/2008 8:15 AM By: News 8 Austin Staff Luling police are trying to track down a bank robber. They need information to help find a man who walked into the IBC Bank on South Pecan Street at about 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The suspect told bank employees he had a bomb and demanded money. He took an undisclosed amount of cash and walked out. Police said it's been at least 10 years since they've had a bank robbery in Luling. No one was hurt. " I don't really understand what is going on, but it seems that we are seeing bank employees allegedly stealing from customers, as well as outside bank robbers, who I guess, are seeing International Bank of Commerce, a subsidiary or associated enterprise of International Bancshares Corporation, as an easy target. Either way, it seems foolish to me to keep your money at IBC bank at any of its branches. |

Bank employee arrested for stealing from customer
http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/bank_85548___article.html/customer_employee.html
March 31, 2008 - 11:35PM
By Jeremy Roebuck/The Monitor
McALLEN - A 21-year-old bank employee is set to appear before a judge Wednesday on charges he stole money from a customer's account.
The U.S. Secret Service alleges Erik Alfredo Constante, of Mission, took $100,000 by forging the account holder's signature on a withdrawal slip.
He is accused of redeeming the slip on March 19 for cash - remnants of which federal authorities say they found during a search of his home a week later.
Constante, a new account executive at the International Bank of Commerce's downtown McAllen branch, was arrested Friday and has remained in the custody of U.S. Marshals pending a detention hearing set for Wednesday.
He maintains the customer requested he withdraw the money and that he hand-delivered it to a man he believed to be the account holder waiting in the bank office, said Secret Service agent Cameron Wolfley in an affidavit filed in the bank employee's case.
The Secret Service investigates financial crimes in addition to providing presidential protection.
Constante told agents that bank bags found in his home were purchased at H.E.B. and meant as a gift to his father, according to court documents filed in his case. But authorities say they found scraps of a money strip used to bind the cash that they later linked to the March 19 withdrawal.
A lawyer has not yet filed with the court to represent the bank employee.
Phone calls to his Mission home were not returned Monday.
R. David Guerra, president and CEO of IBC-McAllen, declined to specifically talk about Constante's case or whether the customer whose account was allegedly breached would be able to recover his money.
But he said he remained confident in the bank's ability to detect fraudulent transactions.
"Our systems and procedures caught this very quickly," he said. "We have policies in place to stop things like this from happening."

Constante, a new account executive at the International Bank of Commerce's downtown McAllen branch, was arrested Friday and has remained in the custody of U.S. Marshals pending a detention hearing set for Wednesday.
He maintains the customer requested he withdraw the money and that he hand-delivered it to a man he believed to be the account holder waiting in the bank office, said Secret Service agent Cameron Wolfley in an affidavit filed in the bank employee's case.
The Secret Service investigates financial crimes in addition to providing presidential protection.
Constante told agents that bank bags found in his home were purchased at H.E.B. and meant as a gift to his father, according to court documents filed in his case. But authorities say they found scraps of a money strip used to bind the cash that they later linked to the March 19 withdrawal.
A lawyer has not yet filed with the court to represent the bank employee.
Phone calls to his Mission home were not returned Monday.
R. David Guerra, president and CEO of IBC-McAllen, declined to specifically talk about Constante's case or whether the customer whose account was allegedly breached would be able to recover his money.
But he said he remained confident in the bank's ability to detect fraudulent transactions.
"Our systems and procedures caught this very quickly," he said. "We have policies in place to stop things like this from happening."

What is the Company Culture at OMNICARE, from an INSIDER
| longforcalif in Reno, Nevada 20 days ago | |
| C thomspon in California 18 days ago | I could not have said it better!! This company needs to be bought out. Maybe then upper management can see what it feels like to be kicked around. It can't get any worse for the average employee. From http://www.indeed.com/forum/cmp/Omnicare/05390c183c137e1b72794506 |

IS OMNICARE,INC TRYING TO BULLY AN 82 YEAR OLD WIDOW?
Let's say your grandmother, or shudder, even your Mom is in a Nursing Home for a short time. At some point, the Medicare runs out, and they want to kick her out. The problem is, her 88 year old husband is still there, , very, very ill, and she is afraid to leave him alone. She is approached with the notion that if she pays 110 dollars a day, she will be allowed to stay at the Nursing Home, basically renting the bed next to her critically ill husband. She agrees to pay 110 dollars a day, and pays that, even though, they have no license to act as a hotel or motel from the city.She understands she has been released as a patient now, and is just paying for the bed space and ability to be able to watch over her very ill husband.
While she is shelling out the 110 a day, they are shoveling drugs at her, and since Medicare has paid for the "meds" before, she believes they are still paying. In fact, nursing home people assure her that all she is owing for this time, is the 110 a day. Later, when the situation comes up again, she offers to pay the old 110 dollars a day , or even more, and suddenly, she is told by a nursing home staff that they will not, cannot do that again, because it is illegal .
Well, her husband is about to leave the nursing home, seems he is doing a bit better, and as she has his clothes in the car and packed, he goes into extremis, is taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, and although there are emergency steps that CAN be taken, his attending physician will not allow anything to be done because of a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate ) order from 1995.
She is forced to watch her poor 88 year old husband die , his eyes begging her to help, but the hospital will not let her help, they just stand by, allowing him to die.
After this, you sell your home and move, move hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
You begin getting bills from some pharmacy CLAIMING you owe them 300 plus dollars. You ask them via a special directive to deal only with your son, and tell them you do not owe this.
The next thing you know, they turn this matter over, this mere 300 dollars or so, over to a lawyer for collections.
They sic a LAWYER on a grieving 82 year old widow for 300 or so dollars. KNOW WHO actually DOES this?OMNICARE INC. seems to. More on this as this develops.
Omnicare likes to hassle 82 year old widows I guess.

Well, I think we should ALL be crusaders against bullies. Bullies are cowards, and that is even more true of the out of shape a-holes at most of the corporations who want to bully older folks.

Hello, I work at an Omnicare site. Until I find another job I cannot say more.
Working for Omnicare is omni depressing. There is no cohesiveness, no going out for drinks, just get more money in, get more money in, our numbers, our numbers is preached constantly.
A typical day is eating lunch at your desk, being told to get more work done, no breaks, never being done no matter how much work you plow through.
I have never in 30 years of working worked in such a hostile work enviroment. The corporate mentality is beat your employees down, give them no more than 2% a year no matter what new job assignments, how great a job done or how high the cost of living goes. A truly awful employer. Poor pay, no bonus, no Christmas parties, no nothing, their health insurance is awful and cost a fortune. I have told a number of people to look elswhere for a job, you will NOT be happy here.
Inititive is punished and creativity is a four letter word. Upper management takes credit for others work.
DON'T go to work for Omnicare unless you want BELOW average pay, expensive and bad benifits and like to feel you are stupid and worthless.
Omnicare treats its vendors WORSE than Wal-Mart. Non payment of invoices, just big bullies, we buy alot and we do what we want, who cares what the laws are, they don't apply to Omnicare.
I firmly believe Omnicare will be bought out and out of business within 5 years.
