Reply to comment by Phish100 in All you schmucks told me to get off Robinhood, now I have $15,000 frozen in a closed TD Ameritrade account by [deleted]

I do actually. You deposited “dirty” money and got back “clean” money. It’s fungible. You had no source before, which is why you had ACH problems. Now you do, TD/“investing.”

This is my line of work. You literally performed money laundering, albeit shittily.

OP is dumb but theres no part of this story that allows you to know for sure the money was dirty when it was deposited. All we know it was a cashiers check.

He committed fraud on the paper work, thats known. But we don't KNOW that he laundered dirty money. You just suspect it.

That’s now how AML compliance works.

The burden of proof is reversed. He has to prove it was/is clean.

Until then, it’s dirty. This isn’t a “beyond a reasonable doubt” criminal proceeding.

Even if I granted you this, which is sort of silly since this is a subreddit post and not an AML compliance review, it sounds like everything was fine. Sounds like they are releasing his money after hours on the phone with customer service.

I once deposited 100 dollars into a sports book because I saw odds online and I wanted to make a bet. When I got to the sportsbook the odds had changed. I withdrew my 100 dollars and they put it on a hold for similiar issue - to prevent money laundering. I told them what happened, sent my ID, then eventually released my funds.

Did I launder money there? No, clearly not, though the burden of proof to the casino may have fallen on me I did not in fact launder money.

And very likely OP didn't launder money either. He deposited money, found out he couldn't trade options, withdrew the money. This isn't money laundering and you have no evidence it is. You just suspect it is.

If I was laundering money don’t u think I would’ve transferred all the money out after selling shares rather than only selling some and transferring out only a portion

No. Thats called “plausible deniability,” and covered in money laundering 101.

Aka “It could not possibly be money laundering because why wouldn’t I withdraw all the money.”

You’re raising every flag lol. It would have looked better if you did withdraw it all, like you just weren’t happy with TD.

You tried to save your account, keep it open, to do it again. You’re an idiot.

I was keeping it open to use their platform, thinkorswim has the best charting out there which is why I chose them in the first place to switch to

You kept it open to launder more money.

Nope, got money from employment, then made a shit ton off Bed Bath and Beyond short squeeze in a Robinhood account, tried to move it to a TD Ameritrade account and then moved it back to Robinhood after finding out I couldn’t trade options on TD

Prove it. That’s your burden. That’s how AML compliance works.

Prove it to who? TD has only sent me this along with other standard monthly statements about my account. They have not directed me anywhere nor has their customer support

He said you did it shittyily.. you might not be aware, or understand how it looks, but to computers you had a new account making money move around fast. It raises flags. You will get your 15k after it runs the default investigation process your transactions triggered.
