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. The investigation revealed that the trader placed large orders with the intent to cancel them before execution, creating a false impression of market demand. This practice, known as spoofing, is illegal under U.S. law as it undermines market integrity and investor confidence. TD Bank’s settlement includes both fines and restitution, reflecting the seriousness of the misconduct.

Alleged Collusion: Parliamentarians Face Accusations of Treason



In a recent report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), shocking allegations have emerged. According to the report, sitting federal politicians are allegedly “witting” participants in foreign interference schemes. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh minced no words, declaring these parliamentarians as “traitors to the country” for their alleged collaboration with foreign governments.

The report highlights several concerning actions by these politicians:

  1. Mobilizing Voters: Some parliamentarians are accused of working with foreign missions to mobilize voters during political campaigns.
  2. Financial Ties: Others allegedly accepted cash from foreign missions or their proxies, either knowingly or through willful blindness.
  3. Sharing Privileged Information: The report suggests that certain parliamentarians shared privileged information with foreign diplomatic officials.

While Green Party Leader Elizabeth May downplayed the report’s significance, Singh remains deeply concerned. He places the blame on the leadership of both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for failing to address the issue.

As the nation grapples with these serious allegations, the question remains: How will Canada respond to this breach of trust by its elected representatives?
