LEONARDO AYALA, a TD BANK employee who worked at the Doral (Miami) office, has been indicted and charged with a single count of Money Laundering Conspiracy. The case, which was filed in the District of New Jersey, as part of the crime had been committed there, appears to be the first one charging a bank staff member since TD was hit with a mega-fine for money laundering deficiencies.
Ayala allegedly issued a large number of debit cards for shell accounts with nominee owners, created by a conspirator in New Jersey, which were used at automated teller machines in Colombia to take out millions of dollars. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in Federal Prison, and a fine of $500,000, or twice the amount of money involved in the offense, whichever is greater.
