Is it true their bank has been- inundated with NSF cheques?

If it was a bad cheque, you received the police in QC may be interested in laying a false pretense criminal charge especially if there is a past and or regular habit of writing bad cheques by the offender.
It is a criminal offence to knowingly write out a cheque without having any funds in your account.
You can file criminal charge of false pretense against someone who has written you a bad cheque. False pretense is a misrepresentation of a fact, whether made by words or otherwise, with intent to have you act on the misrepresentation. When someone writes you a cheque, you assume the cheque is funded or the person who wrote the cheque has the capacity to pay you. If it turns out the cheque writer intentionally deceived you, you can file a false pretense case against that person. Anyone found guilty of the offense faces a prison term of up to 10 years.
At the end of the day if a court finds an individual or a corporation to be guiltily of this or any other crime the victim(s) can request that the court impose a restitution order compelling the guilty to repay the victim(s).
This is not extinguishable under a personal or corporate bankruptcy.
