NEW YORK - A man was charged with withdrawing $2 million from an account after a bank confused him with a man who has the same name. Benjamin Lovell was arraigned Tuesday on grand larceny charges. The 48-year-old salesman said he tried to tell officials at Commerce Bank in December that he did not have a $5 million account.
Lovell said he was told it was his and he could withdraw the money.
Prosecutors said the bank — which advertises itself as America’s Most Convenient Bank — confused Lovell with a Benjamin Lovell who works for a property management company.
The lesser-funded Lovell gave away some of the withdrawn money and blew some of it on gifts, but lost much of it on bad investments, prosecutors said.
The district attorney’s office did not immediately have information on his lawyer. Calls left with Commerce Bank on Wednesday were not immediately returned.

If you are thinking of applying for a franchise and did some initial research on this subject, you will notice that all franchisors will charge you an up front franchise fee. This may seem a bit unfair to you at first, but if you think about it deeply and put yourself on the franchisors shoes, you will get some insights on why a franchise fee is required.
Building a brand name is never easy. It entails years and years of hard work to make a name that customers remember and trust. It requires patience, diligence and endless hours of work to make sure that quality is maintained, customer satisfaction kept at a good level and the logistical system kept running like a well oiled machine. A franchises fee then is the charge a franchisor expects of you for all the years and hard work he has invested in making his business a proven, profitable and duplicable enterprise that will lead to your success as well. As four out of five businesses fails within the first five years and nine out of ten fails within ten years, you can appreciate the odds he has to work against in order to have this successful business system he has now. Think of the franchise fee as payment for the intellectual property of the franchisor.
Because of this, a franchise fee will give you the right to use the franchisors business system, benefit from the popularity of his brand name, brand logo, slogans and more. It also make the invaluable operations manual available for you so that you can learn from the business experiences and mistakes of your franchisor and basically know how to operate the business from start to finish. The franchise fee will also open the gates of the franchise system’s suppliers to you so that you will also be eligible to receive the terrific discounts and much lower price bulk buying gets.
Moreover, a franchise fee also gives you the training you and your initial staff need to know the ins and outs of the business you will be handling in the near future. This ensures that when the time comes, you and your staff will know what to expect from each other and what to do. This results in a more streamlined and stress free human resource management that will be very important to your business success.
A portion of your franchise opportunities fee will go to the unified advertising and marketing efforts of your franchise system. The combination of the many advertising and marketing fees from many franchisees means that the franchise system can afford very powerful and effective advertising and marketing methods like nationwide media advertising and nationwide promotion tours and gimmicks.
Of course, some portion of the franchise fee will go to research. This will ensure that your franchise system will be able to cope with the changes in the marketplace and retain its competitive advantage.
