“TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish,” Garland said. “By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one.”

I hope no one indeed will be “off limits” in the criminal investigation, let’s see…

I agree. I love Mastodon’s calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I’m in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.

I agree with you, I’m also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the “you are walking a line” comment, but without knowing all the details, I’m reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions.

This thread is about the latter, while downvotes are just another form of free speech.
