✅ WHAT IS REAL (CONCRETE FACTS):
✔️ There have indeed been thefts at Truist branches in Virginia,
👉 committed by external individuals, NOT by employees.
✔️ There have been cases of Truist employees accused of fraud or theft,
👉 but in other states and in other years, NOT a confirmed current case in Virginia.
⸻
🧠 HEADLINE TRICK (MANIPULATION):
💣 It mixes:
• banks robberies (external criminals)
• old cases of employees in other states
👉 to create a false alarming headline that appears new and local.
