Man Loses Life Savings Shortly After Withdrawing All, See How

A man, Francisco Cornejo has been robbed of his entire life savings just after withdrawing them from the bank.

A masked man had attacked Cornejo just after he stepped outside a Chase Bank in Huntington Park, California, US.

The masked man was seen on video running off with Francisco Cornejo’s life savings of $200,000.

In the video, Cornejo could be seen trying to grab the thief as he falls to the ground, and was heard begging for help as the man ran away.

The money came from a recent sale of his house and was everything he had in his bank account.

Francisco’s lawyer, Nathan Soleimani explained: “He was parked as close as possible to the bank, knowing he was going to withdraw a large amount of cash.

“Before he was able to get to his car, he was grabbed and beaten.

“And when he was being beaten he was doing his best to try and retain the bag that he brought with him.
 

His lawyer said investigations have commenced into the CCTV footage from the bank to try and hunt the suspect.

He said the FBI is also involved and a representative from Chase Bank said they were working with law enforcement.

Though the violent attack left Francisco battered and bruised, his family say they are grateful he’s alive.
