The boys in blue ain't playin' around, fam. Two former TD Bank employees just copped major time for helpin' a money laundering scheme move over 474 million stacks through the bank's accounts. Wilfredo Aquino, 47, from Manhattan, got 46 months for processin' $92 million in official checks and takin' retail gift cards as bribes. Edward Low, 31, from Flushing, got 24 months for fraudulently gettin’ customer info and takin' over accounts.
Aquino, a TD Bank assistant store manager, let the scheme run through his branch without flaggin' it, even when red flags were flyin'. He accepted $11k in gift cards as payment. Low, on the other hand, used his position to steal customer info and helped co-conspirators siphon off over half a million dollars.
Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva and U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer made it clear: this takedown sends a strong message that bank insiders ain't above the law.
