Legal Question in Banking Law in Indiana

Money Transfer

I own a joint checking account for a business that was closed. My partner and I set it up with the requirement that checks require 2 signetures. I have that he and the band opeaned a savings account and transfered the entire balance of $10,000.00 to the savings then my partner withdrew the funds from the savings account. The bank tells me that my partner explained to them that I would be in to sign a signiture card. Can the bank really do this with out my knolage? and there is $ 6,500.00 gone.
