Bad checks/Chexsystems and background check

So I have two SA offers from BBs (one in equity research) contingent on a background check. Everything should check out perfectly but I have just one paranoid concern ... long story short I deposited a bad check a few years ago, it bounced and the account was closed (the account did not go negative). This resulted in a record with Early Warning Services (and Chexsystems) noted as Transacting (or attempting to transact) in an unauthorized or prohibited manner.

I looked up Early Warning Services and it is a 'specialty' consumer info reporting agency (similar to chexsystems), primarily used by banks to screen new account openings/loss prevention. Interestingly, they also keep a database of employees with unfavorable employment histories (doesn't apply to me).

My question is: Should I be concerned in terms of this showing up in a background/credit check?

Anyone on here with records on Chexystems/EWS for overdrafts/account abuse have had offers rescinded?
