Mother-in-law drains over $4,000 from Grandma’s account for financial thrills, forcing her daughter’s spouse to open a secret bank so their paycheck is safe from the 64-year-old’s ventures: ‘I’ll just cash the check and put it into the new account’

Every family has a wild card, but when that card is your mother-in-law and she's suddenly moonlighting as a one-woman currency exchange, you'd be right to start guarding your PIN like it's the doomsday launch code. In this particular domestic financial thriller, we find a long-suffering spouse who's watched their mother-in-law stumble from divorce drama to "online boyfriends" to investment schemes faster than you can say phishing. Already down one bank account, a few rounds of suspicious expenses, and blessed with in-laws who treat joint checking like an all-you-can-transfer buffet, our hero's patience is running on fumes.

The last straw was when Grandma's life savings Houdini-ed into digital coins, courtesy of a little too much trust and a shared account with the family's resident futures enthusiast. Now, with $4,000 in grandma's estate floating somewhere in digital purgatory, our guy does what any rational person would.
