Legions of financially uneducated people cite their bank teller as their investment adviser It's tragic but this is how it is
Comment from : @BTom16

First of all, a bank draft is only valid if signed by the recipient so someone is lying, and secondly, everyone should know that the united states in its war on drugs has made it perfectly legal for the authorities to confiscate large sums of money from its citizens to fuel the war on drugs

Comment from : @blastking2006

Well we need that money to help fund NATO expenses 500 grand will buy several hellfire missiles
Comment from : @JohnPitt920

Hopefully he can get his money back, I think the most money you can mail is like $10,000 but those laws are put in place because of people scamming people Dr Phil talks about it all the time

Should have declared
Comment from : @thecoolguynamedal

From my past experience, never trust what TD says, they have no idea what they are even talking about, they are only trained to handle machine-like tasks, and how to earn more money from you
Comment from : @roy0411r

And he didn't ask anybody in AmericaGuess it wasn't worth his time Maybe if it was a few bucks more he would have put forth the effort
Comment from : @notj5712

no one thinks he made and sent conterfets keeping the originals to cash in at his own leisure ? more convenient if US customs destroys evidence - how is it that customs were alerted to the contents of the 5 fedex'd envelopes to intercept and seize ?

TD Bank needs to pay big time I say we fine them $100 for every dollar that went missing ($50million), because they need to be punished for this! There should be criminal charges too
Comment from : @BrandonSchleifer

You can't trust banks or governments
Comment from : @markd5067

That what you get for listening to TD's financial advisors Most of them don't even have bachelor's degrees
Comment from : @shuaige9443

Big question: Shouldn't the bank have notified him or fill out this declaration form?
Comment from : @askformoreinfowhichyouwont7510

How you can expect anything different from United States this is what they do they steal your money they take children from parents and put them in cages The definition of a shithole country I feel sorry for this guy I believe he never will see his money again

SHOULD HAVE USED BITCOIN, D'oh!
Comment from : @thinkofwhy

No one cares at the Bank, those people worked at banks are not qualified to answer your question relating to estate execution Wire transfer is always faster and secure You as an executor of this estate should know this complex issue, if you are not capable, pay someone to do it You need to consult with an estate lawyer specialized in international finance and a qualified account has experiences in dealing with CRA and IRS Put everything in writting! Get an attoney, you should get your money back in years and pay a fine for not obey US law

This is the fallout of what citizens have to suffer because of Trudeau's strident anti US statements
Comment from : @naddirpatel

A Bank refund money ?? You gotta be kidding They barely offer relief in the hundreds of dollars it is inconceivable that they would fork over 500 Grand No chance for TD to step up brAs for US officials I sense a new level of hostility to everyone as Trump madness permeates the culture
Comment from : @puddytat62

The US Border Agency is notorious for stealing peoples property and money They need to file a criminal complaint with the FBI and file a lawsuit There is no IRS issue with that money transfer "It’s official For 2018, the estate and gift tax exemption is $56 million per individual, up from $549 million in 2017 That means an individual can leave $56 million to heirs and pay no federal estate or gift tax "br wwwforbescom/sites/ashleaebeling/2017/10/19/irs-announces-2018-estate-and-gift-tax-limits-11-2-million-per-couple/#4ad2ef474a4b
Comment from : @TheViewFromUpHere

Sadly, it's gonna take years to get it, if any of it back
Comment from : @polaroidsofpolarbears365

Bitcoin would have solved that problem!!
Comment from : @mswendy9706

An estate that large would have had a lawyer I know they charge for even a phone call It would have been worth it I think the money is gone There are many stories of law enforcement confiscating money and not giving it back even when nobody is convicted of anything I don't think the bank is liable in any way The bank employee should have told you to consult a lawyer Maybe they did and that part is being left out
Comment from : @Tiger-zo2gn

That's ridiculous
Comment from : @CountryGirl1980-3

The bank is not liable since they are not entirely experts The customer should have done due diligence and seek advice from a probate lawyer
Comment from : @rderoche7937

I think he has every right to sue TD Canada Trust for the 500k he lost After all, their faulty advise cost him his money!
Comment from : @HaNs-mg5cn

Trying to avoid paying taxes, got what they deserved lol
Comment from : @JM-hk8ol

Don't trust Canadian banks period
Comment from : @zero67439

Uncle Sam is broke so they're certainly not getting the money back Plus, those folks look awful-terroristic; could be ISIS, whoever GITMO vacation: water sports; special spa treatments; massage therapy; they'll forget all about the money in short order
Comment from : @ZlayaCo6aka

Oh my gosh he was one of my high school teachers!! Hope everything works out, Mr Saikaley
Comment from : @kristenlonergan350

Thx
Comment from : @josephlubera4345

Yeah I'm sure there isn't another side to this story Let's just take the guy at his word, that's journalism today
Comment from : @vladg5216

So a wire transfer was not possible?
Comment from : @theylied1776

Don't forget to vote in Nov That's your best bet TD should do the right thing and pay out 500 k and they deal with the United States
Comment from : @johngreene1536

Good luck getting that back with Trump in power
