Money Laundering

This article was cited for a money laundering charge against M&T. However, reading the article leads me to believe that the launderer and the teller were the only ones really at fault here, not M&T. I have marked this as WP:UNDUE since it reads like it was the bank's fault, not the people actually involved. Zero Serenity (talk - contributions) 17:44, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, the teller may have acted with out the knowledge of those higher up in the company, but the judge ordered the bank to forfeit the money. Also, its relevant to the article because it is directly related to the concerns of the Federal Reserve Board that the bank has poor anti-money laundering controls.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusf10 (talkcontribs)
The problem I have with this is the questionable amount of weight it has. Other bank's articles tend to have notability for major injunctions and such but things of such trivial value tend not to show up. Also, do you have something other than the WSJ as a source? Their paywall stands in my way. Zero Serenity (talk - contributions) 18:36, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm still kinda on the fence about this one. I'll let it sit for a couple days or so and see how I feel then unless somebody jumps on this one. Zero Serenity (talk - contributions) 19:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
