ABC News: Accused Financier Under Federal Drug Investigation — This story is much better than Madoff’s. Madoff just gave everyone the finger and holed up on Park Avenue. This just gets more interesting by the day.
According to officials, checks found inside the plane were believed to be connected to the Gulf cartel, reputed to be Mexico’s most violent gang. Authorities say Stanford could potentially face criminal charges of money laundering and bribery of foreign officials.
Authorities say the SEC action against Stanford Tuesday may have complicated the federal drug investigation.
The federal investigation, however, did not stop Stanford from using corporate money to become a big man at last year’s Democratic convention in Denver.
A video posted on the firm’s web-site shows Stanford, now sought by U.S. Marshals, being hugged by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and praised by former President Bill Clinton for helping to finance a convention-related forum and party put on by the National Democratic Institute.
Yes, how could I resist the Pelosi dig? That said, can we find a picture of her with this character?
#19 Remember the blog item about the two judges taking bribes to throw kids in jail? Those two ran as Dems. It was “sanitized” by the press. If you go back to that thread, I posted a link to the true info.
# 20 Ralph, the School Bus Driver said, “Maybe the votes weren’t there, but the Congress should have impeached Bush when they had the chance.”
The votes were there. It only requires a majority vote in the House to impeach. They didn’t because the Dem leadership knew their complicity would come out in the proceedings…
#15, Like all federal programs, it is started with nothing but good intentions in mind but end up costing the people more in the end due to unintended consequences.
Investigate the Speaker for drug connections? That’s funny.
How would anything in the government work without drug money anyhow? http://tinyurl.com/flycarefully How many CIA planes full of dope need to fall out of the sky before you internalize how deep the gov is into the drug trade? So much easier than appropriations, and it has the dual benefit of justifying the three letter agencies existence, while simultaneously providing them funding! Oh, and that lovely drug war is great for taking away citizens rights! Everyone wins, baby!
Well, except for the American people. Oh, and the other drug cartels that are in competition.
Oh well, you can’t make a triple ‘zing!’ martini with a powder chaser without cracking a few heads, eh?
#14 – I know it pains many here to read up-to-date news; but, both Peru and Venezuela nationalized Stanford’s banks, today.
#26 Yeap. It was minutes ago in venezuela, after a run yesterday of about 57.000.000 new bolivars (57.000.000.000 of the old ones), which is about $ 26.5 Mill. US.
Not much, but it did the trick. It ran out of money.
So, Venezuela, run by a self-important talk show host, is faster on it’s feet than we are?
Typical.

Madoff was just ripping the US well-to-do Jewish population and the Fund of Funds scammers.
Stanford has conflicts of interest! He is running drug money, greasing the Dems, and selling fake CDs offshore. This guys has balls and I don’t see how he can live through this. This guy has 50 bil in companies and assets under management; the liquidation will reveal the clients in most countries. And the CIA will follow the money home.
I think it’s of equal likelihood that he was working -with- the CIA. Really, this is a classic ‘economic hit,’ complete with fraudulent securities, exploitation of developing nations, money laundering and drug running.
If they deny all knowledge we know who was really in charge.
Hey Li, good point.
I hope that is why he is missing. CIA protection is not that great though. It is a pair of jeans and a backpack with a Canadian flag on it.
Maybe he had fake IDs and plastic surgeons lined up.
#28 But of course. It’s his money that’s inside.
I love the way the Dems badmouth the Repubs and vice-versa… when the truth is that both parties are just as corrupt and unfortunately probably 90% of politicians are greedy bastards. Let’s just hope Obama is and continues to be an honest man and actually helps clean up this mess we’re in.
WHERE IS RON PAUL?
Nice babes in the picture. How can I be a corrupt financier?
