@GhostOnTheHalfShell @daedalean i mean money laundering kind of by definition has to involve banks, right? (the money is laundered into a "reputable" bank, often from a less reputable bank but sometimes from cash) so banks are always involved whenever there is money laundering.

#TDBank was the most recent major bank to go down for a massive money laundering scheme.

Forbes · New Developments In TD Bank Money Laundering CaseBy Steve Weisman

Bank of America is the mafia that makes #haverhillma quiver in every sense
Also TD bank
Very convenient for TD BANK to sponsor drug #terrorists who put #zombie #drugs in the vast portion of the community we are forced to live in
Whilst drug kingpins funnel TRILLIONS INTO #TDBANK and stomp on the poor populations.
#TDBANK PAYS 5BILLION$ fine
Yet launder TRILLIONS+
Let that sink in #electionnight #trump #warcomplex #mlultra #microsoft #siliconvalley #bigtech #michaelpaulino #harris

#IllegalDrugs and #Banks -- a perfect combination for enslaving populations -- either by getting them addicted to illegal narcotics and/or ruining their lives financially!

Popular Information · TD Bank executives oversee $670 million drug money laundering scheme, avoid jailBy Judd Legum

"Jesse Eisinger, a journalist at ProPublica and author of The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives, told Popular Information that Garland's claim that the investigation of executives is ongoing was 'boilerplate' and 'one of these empty statements that they frequently offer.' According to Eisinger, although the fine was large, it can be absorbed by TD Bank as 'a cost of doing business.'"

Popular Information · TD Bank executives oversee $670 million drug money laundering scheme, avoid jailBy Judd Legum

Just in case you were wondering why yes, there is a #crypto angle to the massive #TDBank money laundering scandal.

Turns out a big chunk of the fines levied by #FinCen for the massive drug money laundering facilitated by TD Bank was because "over $420 million [sent] to a financial institution offering cryptocurrency services in the high-risk jurisdiction of #Colombia."

Curious if anyone has any guesses as to what crypto company that is or was.

edit: my current guess is that the crypto company is #Kado, a Colombian company that trades crypto for cash and prepaid debit cards and uses #FortressTrust (FKA #PrimeTrust, a #Nevada company long rumoured to be connected to the italian mafia), to do (probably fake) KYC/AML.

Listening to a story on the #TDBank penalty and what it's for. Apparently they basically ignored KYC rules and didn't flag (and report to FinCEN?) things like million-$ Zelle transfers.
I must say, my CU won’t ever make that error. SWMBO & I recently discovered that they cap non-business transactions online to something less than $5k by default, as a firewall to limit the damage of compromised accounts.

Looking for a #speaker in #finance, 6 years, #blueteam ... Here's your opportunity to talk about that really effective monitoring program you set up. Also the #CFP is open to all, seasoned and brand new speakers. bit.ly/BDECFP24 #AML #KYC #TDBank

"High-level executives were alerted to serious problems with the bank’s anti-money laundering program, but failed to correct them as employees openly joked about how easy it seemed to be for criminals to launder money there, Garland said."

For shame, #TDBank.
