'WIFE $AVINGS' SUIT

GAL HITS BANK FOR TELLING HUBBY OF 800G STASH

By WILLIAM J. GORTA

Some wives guard secrets from their husbands so closely, they might as well be in a bank vault.

So what's a gal to do when a bank spills one of her deepest secrets?

A Long Island dentist is suing Chase bank to recover the more than $150,000 that she says she had to share with her hubby after a bank employee let it slip that she had a huge account balance he didn't know about.

Nazita Aminpour, 43, and her husband, David Shamash, 47, have a joint account at a Chase branch in Kew Gardens, Queens, along with a custodial one for their three children. But Aminpour also had a secret stash of $800,000 at the branch in her name only, according to a suit filed last week in Queens Supreme Court.

A bank employee trying to be helpful spilled the beans to Shamash by cold-calling him and telling him he should take his small fortune out of the low-interest account and make other investments with Chase, the suit alleges.

Shamash said he knew nothing about the money.

"Shamash then began harassing [Aminpour], asking for money from the funds that he can invest in the stock market and to cover a margin call he had on his stock account," the wife's suit says.

Shamash began "alienating" Aminpour, so she forked over $155,000 "to save her marriage and restore order in the marital home," the suit says.

She says the bank placed her in a "situation of duress."

She also claims in the suit that the bank violated federal privacy laws that "prohibit the disclosure of non-public, personal information."

Aminpour wants Chase to cover her loss and shell out for her lawyers' fees.

A recent bank statement submitted with the court papers shows her with a balance of more than $1 million -- 25 percent higher than in March last year, when her husband had his hand out.

Messages left at the Great Neck couple's home and with their lawyer were not returned.

Chase declined to comment because the matter is under litigation.

She must have been an American.

Of course she was. A decent furriner wive would have NEVER done that..... now, where did I hide the ING account number????????????????

[Nessa 23]

how did she do that without her husband noticing? does he not know how much money she makes? i mean, it's not like sjhe's hiding 5k. she was probably engaged in some illegal activities.

I always say a woman should have a little something tucked away on the side that only she knows about, cos you never know.....but DANG!

Good for her.

Sister Nagi.... you crack me up

[Nagishkaw 510]

It's so true. Should your husband divorce you, get a better attorney and screw you blind....well, then you have back up. Been there, done that. It's harder on a woman to try to re gain what she lost. So ladies, start a separate, secret bank account and keep your trap shut about it.

[justashooter 430]

[fozzie 41]

$1m???? How much did they earn between them that she could hide that much? They sound super rich anyways so who cares. Its maybe a drop in the ocean for them anyway.

Amanpour sounds Iranian like Christiane Amanpour from CNN.

[HelloMiffy 1]

Maybe the wife was just trying to save to buy a home for the family. Some people (men and women) don't know how to save. I know some guys with huge incomes with zero saving
