I would contact the bank manager. the can contact the sender of the check and the can put a hold on the funds.

PAY OFF whatever you owe that would potentially result in your account being frozen.
Actually, that isn't the second best option, it is THE BEST option.

Open a new account at another bank.

You don't have an option. If there is a freeze on your account, it means you owe someone (most likely the IRS) money. You might as well pay them with the 80k. If there isn't a freeze yet, you'll still have to deposit the check and wait for it to clear before you can withdraw the money.
