Stanford surrenders in Virginia

Sir Allen Stanford, the Texas billionaire, surrendered to US authorities in Virginia on Thursday night after a warrant was issued for his arrest, reports Reuters.  He is expected to appear in court Friday morning to face criminal charges, but the venue for the hearing is unclear, Stanford’s lawyer said Thursday. According to the Houston Chronicle, a grand jury weighing the charges against Stanford returned a sealed indictment earlier on Thursday.
