Toronto-Dominion Bank’s shockingly lax anti-money laundering (AML) program could be just the tip of the iceberg in the U.S. government’s investigation into a North American money laundering ring run by the Chinese Communist Party that laundered billions of dollars in fentanyl money through a “command and control” structure in Toronto. The revelation comes as more than 100,000 Americans and Canadians die each year in horrific fentanyl poisoning overdose deaths in what some are calling China’s “reverse opium wars.”

This week, Sam Cooper, an investigative journalist behind Substack’s “The Bureau,” published an interview with David Asher, a former senior researcher for the State Department. Asher explained that China’s command and control center for North American drug money laundering is controlled by Chinese Triad leaders like Tse Chi Lop, who work with the CCP to facilitate global money laundering and drug trafficking operations that see Mexican cartels flood the U.S. with illegal drugs.

Big Circle Gang leader Tse Chi Lop, a Chinese immigrant from Guangdong who is a Canadian citizen, ran global drug trafficking and money laundering operations in North America from his base in Markham, Ontario, U.S. investigators said.

Asher said this is all part of the CCP’s strategy to use drug cartels as a weapon against Western countries.

He noted, “TD is really the tip of a deep iceberg, I would say officially. What does the leadership of TD Bank in Canada know about what was going on in the U.S.?”

He added: “And then the question is, this is the US. So what the heck is going on with TD Bank in Canada? We don’t know.”

“So the Chinese government is funding the reverse opium war, and we know that for sure,” Asher explained……….
