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. The bank has stated its commitment to maintaining high ethical standards and has taken steps to enhance its compliance and oversight mechanisms to prevent future violations.

This case is part of a broader crackdown by U.S. regulators on spoofing and other forms of market manipulation, aiming to ensure fair and transparent financial markets.
