Trey -- I think the real issue was that HE failed to notify of a simple address change, and that alone absolved the institution from safeguarding his money/account!! Ridiculous - but it's obviously legal. So make sure all your accounts have your current mailing address!
The thief - his ex wife - is a different issue and that's criminal... but my guess is it would be hard to prosecute particularly if she could show they were married during the savings period... she might be able to lay claim to some of it. She's still a thief -- but the law is usually on THEIR side.
