It was up to the bank to find the bitch that stole the credit cards and get the money back from her

This was verified when we caught the lady, the police file the arrest report and it was charged as a case between the bank and the theif, not the thief and my wife

banks ALWAYS eat fraud charges
You work in the adult industry, right?

When someone charges back it's the merchant that cops the fund reversal, along with an arbitrary chargeback fee as a further kick in the teeth.

I'm sure there are cases where banks lose money due to fraud, but certainly not when it's a CC purchase and the merchant is still processing with them!
