Faruqi & Faruqi Investigates TD Bank Amid Investor Complaints and Class Action Lawsuit
In a recent announcement, prominent national securities law firm, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, has initiated an investigation into potential claims against The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD). This comes on the heels of significant financial disruptions faced by investors, particularly those who incurred losses exceeding $100,000 during a specific period from February 29, 2024, to October 9, 2024. Investors are reminded of the approaching deadline of December 21, 2024, if they wish to assume the role of lead plaintiff in the ongoing federal securities class action.
Faruqi & Faruqi has a robust history of representing investors, having successfully recovered substantial amounts for clients since its establishment in 1995. The investigation into TD stems from allegations surrounding the bank’s anti-money laundering (AML) program, which was reportedly inadequate in meeting the compliance requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act. The complaint states that TD, alongside its leadership, provided misleading information to the investors concerning their AML program's status and future improvements.
The investigation revealed that, while TD was assuring investors of its commitment to resolving AML issues, it was concurrently concealing significant shortcomings. The firm allegedly downplayed the potential repercussions, including substantial penalties and restrictions that could impede its growth. Misleading communication regarding the firm's AML issues resulted in investors purchasing shares at inflated prices.
On October 10, 2024, following extensive investigations by U.S. regulatory bodies, TD disclosed the outcomes, revealing total penalties of around $3.09 billion. Furthermore, the bank was subjected to an asset cap limiting the combined assets of its U.S. subsidiaries to $434 billion. This revelation sent shockwaves through the stock market, leading to a dramatic decline in TD's share prices — from $63.51 to $57.01 within a span of just three days, marking a loss exceeding 10.23% of its value.
The consequences of the investigations highlighted an unprecedented situation; TD became the largest bank in U.S. history to plead guilty to failures associated with its Bank Secrecy Act program, becoming the first ever to acknowledge conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The role of lead plaintiff in a class action is critical, as it is often filled by the member of the class with the most substantial financial stake in the case, who will guide the litigation. Class members can opt to take an active role or remain silent on proceedings, without affecting their eligibility for potential recoveries.
Faruqi & Faruqi extends its outreach to anyone possessing information relevant to TD’s practices, including former employees and whistleblowers. Interested parties can tap into the firm’s expertise by reaching out directly, ensuring that their grievances are noted and addressed appropriately.
As details continue to unfold regarding TD Bank's legal challenges, updates will be provided through various channels by Faruqi & Faruqi. The firm reiterates its commitment to protecting investor rights and ensuring accountability in the corporate sector as they navigate these turbulent waters.

Faruqi & Faruqi remains a cornerstone of support for investors seeking to understand their legal rights and options in the face of financial adversity.
