Former newspaper carrier sued over Cubs' deposits to his account

A newspaper deliveryman for the Hartford Courant in Connecticut named Mark Guthrie wound up with $301,000 being deposited into his bank account by the Tribune Co.

It seems that money was meant for relief pitcher Mark Guthrie of the Chicago Cubs.

Both the newspaper and the Cubs are owned by Tribune. The company wants the money back. They managed to pull about $275,000 out of the account before the deliveryman had his account frozen. He is now being sued by Tribune.

Don't these companies check account numbers before depositing money into accounts?
