Broker-dealer TD Securities failed to prevent a trader from placing and then withdrawing thousands of false trades over the course of a year in part because its compliance department failed to follow up on red flags generated by the illegal trades, three regulators said.
TD Securities (TDS), a subsidiary of TD Bank, failed to prevent the head of its securities desk in New York from spoofing the U.S. Treasury cash securities market for 13 months between 2018-19.
The trader, Jeyakumar Nadarajah, is accused of entering false orders on one side of the market to obtain more favorable execution prices on the other side. In November 2023, he was indicted in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey for his role in the scheme and is awaiting trial.
