Taking to Twitter to lament, he tweeted

Haha I’ve lived in America for at least 12 years and banked with @TDBank_US for at least 7 of those years but they decided to close all my accounts because I got wires from Nigeria. In 2021. We are still doing this nonsense.”

See post below;

Sometimes the trigger isn't the country, it's the specific account (s) the money came from and what those accounts have been used for in the past.

Talk to them and seek to reassure them it's above board if that's still an option.
