Re: Law Enforcement Request to Keep TD Bank Accounts Open
Dear Mr. Bourtin:
Consistent with FinCEN Guidance FIN-2007-G002 (Issued June 13, 2007), the
Government requests that TD Bank refrain from closing any TD Bank accounts for the
individuals and/or entities described below (the "Listed Accounts") for a period of one month
from today's date. We are currently conducting an investigation involving the Listed Accounts,
and we are making this request that you keep them open because closing them at this time might
jeopardize our investigation. The Listed Accounts are any TD Bank accounts associated with the
following individuals and/or entities:
NAME ADDRESS
Butterfly Trust co HBRK Associates Inc 575 Lexington Ave 4th Fl
New York, NY 10022
Aviloop LLC 340 Commercial St 4th Floor
Manchester, NH 02101
We understand that in keeping the Listed Accounts open, you will be conducting
your business in the ordinary course, which may involve processing certain transactions (e.g.,
deposits, withdrawals, check clearing, ACH) and taking instructions from the Listed
Accounts' authorized persons to conduct fund transfers. We also understand that in maintaining
the Listed Accounts in the ordinary course it may be necessary for you to speak to the Listed

Letter to Nicolas Bourtin, Esq. re TD Bank
October 22, 2019
Accounts' authorized persons from time to time, and we will not assert any claims against you
for keeping the Listed Accounts open and operating them in the ordinary course from this date
forward. This does not relieve you of your legal obligation to monitor account activity and file
Bank Secrecy Act reports, as appropriate.
At the end of the period referenced above, we may renew our written request for
an additional period. If we do not provide you with a written request to renew, we understand
that you may choose to immediately close the Listed Accounts.
Notwithstanding our request that you keep the Listed Accounts open, we
understand that you are not legally required to do so. In the event that you do decide to
terminate the Listed Accounts, please contact me at the number below prior to taking
action.
We will try to provide you with reasonable prior notice in the event that our
Office intends to issue a press release about the Listed Accounts or their owners or authorized
persons.
We request that you do not disclose the contents of this letter (or any renewals) to
the Listed Accounts' owners or to any unauthorized third parties. Thank you very much for your
assistance with this matter.
Very truly yours,
GEOFFREY S. BERMAN
United States Attorney
