According to Odaily, last week, U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced in Washington that TD Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in the United States, has pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges, including conspiracy to violate the Bank Secrecy Act and money laundering. Garland confirmed in a statement that TD Bank has agreed to pay a criminal fine of $1.8 billion, along with civil enforcement actions, bringing the total penalties to approximately $3 billion.
