It's weird that the checks are dated June 30, 2014. That's before the coin even started. Is that possible?
Not as weird as the 123456789 routing number lol
Granted the phony oversized check might not be real but i've read it is common for them to be casheable and having real routing numbers on them too.
Also this is really fishy

If a Congressional candidate is behind it surely he could have a copy of the video published somewhere on his website. You'd also think he'd make a mention on his Facebook page, people running for Congress love this kind of publicity

IMAGE REMOVEDAlso is it common for a Congressional candidate to get on TV in the middle of a street corner and shove a giant check in a reporters face? Isn't there usually some ceremony for these kinds of things and donating to the family or representatives of the victims? Also notice how the signature on both checks is exactly 1:1 copy and even starting in the same spot on the line yet no one ever writes their signature 100% the same everytime.
If the dev is running a con this is a new low in crypto. I'll reserve judgement for now but there is alot of red flags IMO.

Source for this bullshit? Where do you read it is common? How many big checks have you taken to the bank? Its a big fake check lol... Try walking into a bank and have them take a check that size. They will laugh you out the door. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. The check is that size so people can see it. A real check would of had to be issued for a bank to cash it.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
"If the dev had a phone to capture a screenshot of the news program why didn't he record the video of the news story?"
There is a video,

Hard to say here. I would imagine that he didn't make the site. Some intern did and it wasn't something that was brought up
"Finally some things look off about the photos"
There are shadows on the fingers. Can you tell where the sun is shining from that photo? Watch the video and you will see the finger shadows.
About the checks, size, date, routing number, etc.. The checks had to be printed that big at a special printer. Do you think they just take that check out of the checkbook they carry in their back pocket? No! You go to a printer and you have them make you some. You put generic information on the checks so you can use them as you need them. I use to work for a company that did give-a-ways like this all the time. THEY NEVER PUT THEIR REAL BANK INFORMATION ON A FAKE FUCKING CHECK. The person receiving the money always got a real check to take to the bank.
Now after all that is said, I'm not saying this is real or fake. I don't know yet. I'm simply pointing out that most of this guy's post is bullshit.
These fucking trolls will do whatever they can to ruin a coin, even if that means spreading false information. Keep that in mind and form your own opinion.
