TD Bank Settles Spoofing Investigation with $20 Million Payment

  Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank) has agreed to pay over $20 million USD to settle an investigation by U.S. authorities into fraudulent trading practices known as “spoofing.” This settlement resolves allegations that a former TD Bank trader engaged in deceptive tactics to manipulate the U.S. Treasuries market.

Trump Media’s Stock Tumbles Amidst Legal Challenges and Market Skepticism


In a dramatic turn of events, Trump Media & Technology Group’s stock has continued its downward spiral, now sitting more than 66% below its peak value. The company, which has been the subject of much market enthusiasm in the past, saw its shares plummet by 18% following a recent filing to sell additional shares.

As the trial progresses and the company navigates these turbulent financial waters, all eyes will be on Trump Media to see if it can recover from this setback or if the current trend signifies a deeper malaise within the company’s financial structure.
