Vijay and Camilo will probably be wearing some different shirts REAL soon...



Stanford Financial, a key partner in the "Eagles for St. Judes" charitable endeavor (and sponsors of Vijay and Camilo) is in DEEP SHIZZLE.

According to the story on MSNBC:

Federal regulators on Tuesday charged Texas financier R. Allen Stanford and three of his firms with a "massive" fraud that centered around high-interest-rate certificates of deposit, and raided some of the companies' offices.

In a complaint filed in federal court in Dallas, the Securities and Exchange Commission alleged Stanford orchestrated a fraudulent investment scheme centered on an $8 billion CD program that promised "improbable and unsubstantiated high interest rates."

Stanford's assets, along with those of the three companies, were frozen. Stanford's firms include Antigua-based Stanford International Bank, broker-dealer Stanford Group Co. and investment adviser Stanford Capital Management, which are both based in Houston.
