They create the means to enable crimes to be committed, they know it's happening, yet no one will go to jail. Just watch.

By making its services convenient for criminals, TD Bank became one,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday.

I believe Banks are the biggest money launderer. So, no surprises but coming from US is a surprise.

Meanwhile, the U.S. national debt is currently rising at an extraordinary rate, with daily increases of around 35 billion as of October 2024. Given this, it would take less than a day for the national debt to grow by an additional $3 billion—approximately 2 hours and 4 minutes.

So all the work of this case, all the lawyers, and all the productivity, is turned into debt in 2 hours, and 4 minutes.

The national debt, now over $35.7 trillion, is driven by ongoing government spending exceeding revenue, combined with high interest rates on the debt itself.

When do the major white collar criminals ever go to jail. They are only being protected by the state and all of its dirty minions. TD Bank was run by the banksters, and for the criminals. TD used to be an honorable name amongst traders. Why would anyone think a bank’s principles would ever be prosecuted when only the bank would be prosecuted?

What? Nobody got locked up? Oh, that’s right, they only lock up people if they aren’t part of the banking cartel.
