This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
1) The “alerts” generated by TD Bank accounts intended to warn bankers about activity in accounts belonging to Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler. The OCC details the alerts I am requesting -- and notes their “volume and velocity” -- in a press release posted to its website on Sept. 23, 2013: http://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2013/nr-occ-2013-145.html. I request the alerts relevant to the OCC’s fine of TB Bank for failing to report SARs.
2) The “lock-letters,” as mentioned in the SEC’s civil complaint against former TD Bank official Frank Spinosa, sent by Spinosa to investors on the following dates: The four sent on Aug. 17, 2009, Aug. 25, 2009, Sept. 9, 2009, and Sept. 16, 2009; and the seven sent between Sept. 18, 2009, and Oct. 15, 2009. These letters are all mentioned in the following document on pages 7 and 8: http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2013/comp-pr2013-192.pdf.
3) The Wells notice submitted by the SEC to TD Bank in connection with the investigation mentioned above. I also request the bank’s Wells submission made in response to the Wells notice.
