TD Bank has now been exposed in one of the largest money laundering failures in North American banking history — involving over $670 million tied to criminal networks and billions in penalties. But what happened next is what no one is talking about. After the scandal, thousands of employees were cut, pushed out, or quietly forced into exits — a pattern now seen across major institutions like JPMorgan, Citibank, and Bank of America as banking layoffs accelerate in 2026. This episode of The Grind Hotline breaks down the real story behind TD Bank layoffs, the money laundering scandal, and how corporate accountability is often redirected toward employees instead of leadership.
