TD BANK RECEIVES $52m FINE FROM OCC & SEC

Just when you thought the worst was over for beleaguered TD Bank, the proverbial roof falls in. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Securities & Exchange Commission, have levied a $52.5 civil penalty upon the bank, through a stipulated Consent Order.

The funds are to be paid as follows:
(1) $37.5m to the SEC.
(2) $15m to the OCC.

The Consent order is short on information, but the two principal violations are stated;
(A) Failure to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS).
(B)  Deceiving the investors into believing that the funds were safe.
