Here’s a view of Stanford International Bank in St John’s, Antigua. That phrase about fools and their money springs to mind…

Here’s a rather arty shot from inside the lobby at SIB.

This is the Bank of Antigua, another intriguing Stanford off-shoot.

And this is Hewlett House, home to SIB’s auditors.

Oh, here’s Laura Holt, or LauraPendergest-Holt according to the SEC.

Ms Holt is a new name to us. She is accused thus, according the SEC complaint:

LauraPendergest-Holt,thechiefinvestmentofficer ofaStanfordaffiliate,was indispensable to this scheme by helping to preserve the appearance of safety fabricated by Stanford and by training others to mislead investors. For example, she trained training SIB’s . senior investment officer to provide false information to investors.

And here is that enduring image of Sir Allen himself. Go to The Sun’s slideshow here for the full Stanford and the WAGs experience.
