Victim of Ponzi Scam: What now?

I wrote a check for a significant sum to an investment company, that I soon found out was under SEC investigation, and which later was declared a Ponzi scam. What is the bank's liability for completing the transaction?


The bank paid the check you wrote, according to your instructions. Why should they have any liability? They do not.
