Ryan Coogler's $25M Bank Scam Drama

Title: 'The Missing Millions: The Ryan Coogler Heist'

Subtitle: How a brazen con artist impersonated the Black Panther director—and almost got away with it.

The Setup: A Hollywood Name, A Vegas Scam

In early 2022, Ryan Coogler—the acclaimed director of Black Panther, Creed, and Fruitvale Station—was riding high. Fresh off the success of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, he was a respected figure in Hollywood, known for his integrity and creative vision.

But someone else was also using his name.

The Con

On January 25, 2022, Coogler walked into a Bank of America branch in Atlanta to withdraw $12,000 from his business account. The teller, suspicious of the large cash request, asked for ID—standard procedure. But then, things took a bizarre turn.

The bank employee claimed that just days earlier, someone had attempted to withdraw $25 million from Coogler’s account… in Las Vegas.

The Impersonator

According to bank records, a man had walked into a Bank of America branch in Nevada, presenting himself as Ryan Coogler. He allegedly had a fake ID, knew personal details about the director’s accounts, and confidently demanded the massive withdrawal.

The bank, sensing fraud, refused—but the fact that someone had tried to impersonate Coogler set off alarm bells.

The Fallout

When the real Coogler was informed, he was stunned. He had never been to that Vegas branch, never requested $25 million, and had no idea how his information was compromised.

Bank of America froze his accounts, citing 'suspicious activity.' Coogler, now locked out of his own money, had to jump through bureaucratic hoops to prove he was the real Ryan Coogler.

The Investigation

Who was the impersonator? How did he get Coogler’s details?

The Fake ID: The Vegas scammer had a convincing enough driver’s license to fool initial checks.

Inside Job? Some speculated a bank employee may have leaked account details.

Hollywood Targeting: High-profile figures are often victims of fraud—Coogler’s name and net worth made him a mark.

The Twist: Banks Blame the Victim

Instead of apologizing, Bank of America initially treated Coogler himself as a suspect. They demanded extensive documentation before unfreezing his accounts, leaving him temporarily unable to access his own money.

Coogler later sued the bank, alleging racial profiling (the teller had questioned his signature because it 'didn’t match' the one on file) and negligence in protecting his accounts.

The Aftermath

The case quietly settled in 2023, but the mystery remains:

Was the Vegas impersonator ever caught? No arrests were made.

How much did they actually steal? Reports suggest the fraudster attempted to take millions but walked away with nothing.

Did Coogler get justice? The lawsuit was resolved privately, but the incident exposed flaws in bank security.

The Unanswered Questions

Was this a solo scammer or part of a larger identity theft ring?

Why did the bank initially doubt the real Ryan Coogler but not the Vegas impersonator?

How many other celebrities have been targeted in similar schemes?

One thing’s clear: Even A-list directors aren’t safe from audacious fraudsters. And sometimes, the banks themselves make the perfect accomplices—by not believing the victim.

🚨 Postscript: Bank of America has since updated its fraud protocols, but Coogler’s case remains a cautionary tale. If it can happen to Black Panther’s director, it can happen to anyone.
