In troubling revelations, some TD Bank employees reportedly assisted these illicit activities, accepting bribes in exchange for their complicity.<\/p>\n<p>Despite repeated warnings from both regulators and its internal team regarding the flaws in its monitoring practices, the bank failed to make necessary improvements over several years. U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger for the District of New Jersey described the situation as alarmingly negligent, stating that criminals were able to deposit vast sums of cash openly at the bank.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/argentina-becomes-latin-americas-leading-hub-for-cryptocurrency-inflows\/\" title=\"Argentina Becomes Latin America&#8217;s Leading Hub for Cryptocurrency Inflows\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/argentina-bitcoin-1-240x170.jpeg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Argentina Becomes Latin America&#8217;s Leading Hub for Cryptocurrency Inflows<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sellinger highlighted that TD Bank\u2019s egregious oversight failures permitted vast amounts of illicit funds to flow through its systems, including transactions related to high-risk countries and peer-to-peer exchanges.
