An employee at US banking giant has been indicted, accused of stealing sensitive information from the lender’s customers and sharing it with accomplices.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg says Daria Sewell worked in TD Bank’s anti-money laundering department from 2023 to May 2024, the period she is alleged to have committed the crime.
“Through her position in the anti-money laundering department, SEWELL was able to access personal identifying information of customers. A search warrant executed on her cell phone found that she had images of 255 checks with names of customers, along with the other personal information of nearly 70 other customers, including names, addresses and social security numbers.”
The former TD Bank employee would then share the stolen information on her Telegram channel, according to the prosecution.
“She would instruct others to open bank accounts to deposit the checks and would split the profits.”
Evidence of Sewell’s potential wrongdoing was accidentally obtained during another larger investigation involving five individuals engaged in a check fraud scheme that cost victims close to $500,000.
“The defendants in that scheme allegedly deposited stolen checks into their own personal bank accounts. As part of that investigation, the Office found that the five defendants, among others, had communicated with Sewell about strategies for committing check fraud.”
TD Bank is currently the 10-largest bank in the US by total assets, which at the moment amount to a little over $370 billion.
