Was the US-based part of the Stanford bank FDIC insured? I have never seen any news about that.

It's not the fist time a Stanford Group company has been accused of fraud, see: http://arttheftcentral.blogspot.com .

There allegedly was 8 billion invested in Stanford's Antigua bank.

* Antigua has a GDP of approximately 1 billion.

* Antigua is up to its eyeballs in debt to the IMF, World bank, etc.

*The three biggest industries in Antigua are:

1. Tourism

2. Remittances from Antiguans living abroad

3. Allen Stanford

Do the math.
