  When it comes to cryptocurrency accounts at TD Ameritrade, the compliance department takes extra precautions. They closely monitor transactions and look for any signs of fraudulent or illegal activities. If they detect any suspicious behavior, they may freeze the account to protect the interests of both the customer and the company. It's important to note that freezing an account is not done lightly and is only done when there is strong evidence of wrongdoing.
