Mo’ Money in Mo’ Trouble
Mo’ Money Taxes is closing its six Norfolk area locations shortly after police executed search warrants on its stores. In Chicago, more Mo’ Money stores are closed.
Reports say that some stores are not accepting tax refund checks made out by Mo’ Money. A Chicago television station reports that Southside consumers cannot get their checks cashed.
Two Congressman, representing districts in Virginia and Tennessee, say they will ask Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate.
A Mo’ Money store manager in Nashville, Tennessee says that the decision by police to remove all the computers from his Mo’ Money store was merely pre-emptive. “The police took the computers out,” said Gallatin Pike Mo’ Money manager Toney Fields in an interview with a local television station. “They’re not seized. They just took them out because they thought the customers were going to steal them.”
Not the First Time
The North Carolina Commissioner of Banks investigated Mo’ Money Taxes in April 2010. Ultimately, Mo’ Money chose to give up its license to prepare taxes in the state. Testers had found that Mo’ Money was not providing the disclosures required by state law.
