WASHINGTON (AP) — TD Bank is paying $52.5 million to settle U.S. civil charges after regulators accused the bank of failing to report suspicious activity in accounts linked to a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.

OverSoul's insight:
The freeloaders in Congress get too much money from lobbyists to be bothered with the people who actually voted them into office. Their friends in finance are robbing us blind and Big Oil is poisoning our land.
