[The Stanford Series] SIB and Stanford Trust Company Limited put into receivership

Posted by Stacy-Marie Ishmael on Feb 20 18:07.

 Nigel Hanilton-Smith and Peter Wastell, Client Partners at Vantis Business Recovery Services, a division of Vantis, the UK accounting, tax and business advisory group, were appointed by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) of Antigua and Barbuda as Joint Receivers on 19th February 2009 of Stanford International Bank Ltd. and Stanford Trust Company Ltd. in accordance with International Business Corporation Act, 1982 Cap. 222, as amended.

Hamilton-Smith and Wastell, along with a team of recovery specialists from Vantis, are currently on site in Antigua to take control of the entities.

Commenting on the appointment, the Chairman of the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC), Lebrecht Hesse explained that the (FSRC) has taken this important step to ensure first and foremost that the interest of investors and depositors are protected.

In addition, the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) Board will continue to review the processes and developments as they unfold to protect the reputation and integrity of the financial services sector in Antigua and Barbuda.

This is not the first time Vantis has been called into Antigua to deal with a failed operation. In 2007, both Hamilton-Smith and Wastell were appointed to act as receiver-managers of BetonSports’ Antigua operations.

Needless to say, the SIB case is slightly more complex.
