      The fine might actually be bigger than the proceeds of the crime. Good.

    2. Damn. r/canada story but it’s actually the US (Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) hitting them with this. That means the money goes to the US…. and crickets from here in regards to what is likely similar crimes.

      Turns out they can’t break the law with impunity in the United States. Canada should have trained them better before they went abroad.

    5. Canadian banks get such preferential treatment in Canada that sometimes they forget in some countries there are consequences for immoral activity.

      Can almost guarantee the fine, and more importantly, the restrictions on growth are largely in part to TD not being an American-based bank.

      Credit to the United States Justice Dept, enjoy your new $1,800,000,000 slush fund

      In Canada we seem to love laundering money for people outside of Canada. It’s fucked

      We need to see more of this. Well done and may it be a deterrent to this shady crooks.

    9. While they’re at it, can they fine them for being a shitty bank? Just lump the fines together.

      Meanwhile, mainstream nation state funded propaganda would have you believe that Bitcoin is only used for criminal financing. In reality however less than 1% of Bitcoin transactions have been shown to be used for criminal financing and even in 2024, 99% of criminal financing is still done with fiat ponzi bucks. And worse yet, directly by a financial institution as is the case here.

      This is yet another reason why we Bitcoin.

    11. This news has been out for nearly 24 hours on US networks, and not a single Canadian one has done little beyond link US articles on it.

    12. Too big to fail, fine them and refinance them with government money.

    13. Used to be white collar crime was near acceptable in the US (why the mobs thrived) and rather difficult in Canada by comparison…funny how we swapped.

      Sad that the only consequences for fraud and money laundering in Canada is when they are imposed from outside of the country.

      GOOD.
      I’m closing my business and personal accounts from them for this.
      I’ll also be telling my staff that we will not be offering direct deposit to any TD instition and why.

      So I’m guessing banking fees are going to be going way up real soon

    17. How can we trust any of our big institutions and companies if this shit is happening constantly.
