Used the wrong personal brokerage

I created and have been using robinhood for the past 4 months, I just found out it's not an approved brokerage my the bank I work at and I've also not been pre-clearing any of those trades since making the account (pretty much I was clueless about the personal trading policy). Today I liquidated the account and am in the process of closing it once I withdraw all my funds. I only made a few trades while I had the account (all long stocks/bitcoin), what are the chances the bank will find out about this and how much trouble am I in?

same situation here - just started at new firm 2 months ago. crypto doesn't require preclearance at my firm, so does that mean i only need to liquidate my stocks and i can just keep the crypto in Robinhood?
