    I hope this has spawned a whole subgenre of alternative Chinese endings for things.

    "True story," Shaq said. "I've been to every zoo in the world, and every time I go to the gorilla section, they look at me like, 'Hey man, where your fur at?' For real. For real. That's how they look at me. They also look at me like, 'What am I doing in here and you out there?' And they always go crazy when they see me."

    The organization responded to the criticism three months later by releasing, for the first time, some detailed information about its finances. BLMGNF said it had raised more than $90 million in 2020. It incurred $8.4 million in operating expenses, distributed $21.7 million in grants to more than 30 organizations, and retained some $60 million in its coffers.

    If it didn't bounce you could be prosecuted for theft.

    Slightly galling when the bank error is that egregious, you could probably have a stab at making off with it if it was a reasonable [obscene] sum but once you're talking x times Jeff Bezos' net worth that cheque is never going to clear.

    Would be well worth trying to pay it in at an automatic machine though, just plead ignorance when the shit hits the fan.

    "As soon as we identified the clerical error we ensured all 74 customers' cheques were stopped so they could not be cashed," she said.

    Ideal for her I imagine and proably the strategy all along. Get to the point that everyone knows what he is, but also don't have to actually drag yourself through a court case vs British royalty.

    Everything's a right wing conspiracy. Or a Soviet one. Or both simultaneously.

    No, just that it's exclusive to the right wing/state funded ones, which you just happen not to like.

    If this is a crisis of legitimacy then the 'emergency' response makes it worse in the long-term. If you reserve the right to use extraordinary powers (with some truly scummy media support), and then don't use them next time some arseholes set fire to something they don't like, it will end up looking like you approve of those protests, and no 'we condemn the...' statement will convince anyone otherwise.
