  1. No consequences for the ppl committing the crime? Just a monetary fine for a big corporation that will recoup the losses via fee increases for the clients of the bank. What a world we live in.

    For those thinking $3B isn’t enough. They’ll likely pay 10x or more in related compliance costs (staffing, training, consultants, systems, etc). Based on the CMP, staffing was a major issue for years and the execs ignored it.

  3. any crime that doesn’t get you jail time is just the cost of doing business. smdh. Should at least force the change of the board

    “Failing to adequately monitor” makes it sound like they weren’t gleefully and knowingly profiting off of laundering blood money which is the reality.

    lol so look they didn’t “see” it because it helping them make tons of money off new and existing customers. A lot of drug cartel money funneling in probably in massive amounts allowing them to offer more loans, in higher amounts in which they are making more money off interest of said loans. (Correct my run on sentences lol)

  6. I had TD for a while, they suck. Anyone remember the riverside days? They had it going on.
