Giant Trump–Epstein Banner Unfurled Outside Windsor Castle Ahead of State Visit

  A giant photo of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is unfurled outside Windsor Castle ahead of the president's state visit to the U.K. A colossal photograph of U.S. President Donald Trump alongside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been dramatically displayed on the lawn outside Windsor Castle, just hours before Trump’s arrival for his second state visit to the United Kingdom.

TD Bank Fined $3 Billion for Money Laundering Violations

 


Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank) has agreed to pay a staggering $3 billion in fines after pleading guilty to multiple charges of money laundering and failing to maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program. This historic settlement marks the largest penalty ever imposed under the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act.

The charges stem from TD Bank’s failure to monitor and report suspicious activities, which allowed drug traffickers and other criminals to launder significant sums of money through the bank’s accounts. U.S. authorities revealed that TD Bank employees were bribed to facilitate these illegal transactions, with over $670 million being laundered through the bank over several years.

In addition to the financial penalties, TD Bank will face an asset cap, limiting its growth in the U.S. market. The bank has also committed to enhancing its compliance programs to prevent future violations.

Bharat Masrani, CEO of TD Bank Group, issued an apology, acknowledging the bank’s failures and pledging to make necessary changes to restore trust and compliance.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of robust anti-money laundering measures and the severe consequences of neglecting them.
