Note British elite helped Democratic Texas ponzi scammer 'Sir' Allen Stanford's credibilty and facilitated Stanford International Bank frauds and money theft and landering through the UK controlled island of Antigua.
The famous faces that fooled Stanford clients
Sir Allen Stanford's empire came crashing down last week in an $8bn fraud inquiry that is now set to extend to Britain. Jamie Doward and Rajeev Syal reveal how the Texan tycoon manipulated his links with royals, sports stars and politicians to give his credentials a veneer of credibility - and why it took so long for the alarm to sound
The following correction was printed in the Observer's For the record column, Sunday March 8 2009
In the article below we wrote: "Randy Shain, vice-president of First Advantage Investigative Services in the US, said one of his clients had decided not to invest in [Sir Allen] Stanford's empire after he found allegations of money laundering dating back to a 1996 lawsuit, settled out of court." In fact, a court found in Standford's favour and the magazine that made the allegations apologised and paid Stanford's legal costs.
Sir Allen Stanford, the billionaire at the centre of one of the world's largest fraud investigations, repeatedly used the British royal family to convince investors that he was a bona fide businessman with impeccable credentials.
Stanford Financial Group (SFG) used at least four royals in its glossy publicity brochures, magazines and websites to emphasise the tycoon's respectability - at a time when difficult questions were being asked about how his operations made money.
Through his sponsorship of prestigious polo tournaments in London and the US, Stanford, who is also suspected of having links with a Mexican drug cartel, rubbed shoulders with Britain's aristocracy, laying on lavish hospitality that garnered him much favourable PR.
SFG's website boasts of its sponsorship of the Stanford charity polo day, hosted by Prince Charles, which raises money for the British Forces Foundation. An article in Stanford Financial's magazine, Eagle, displays a photograph of Prince Harry, who played in another Stanford-sponsored polo event. In addition, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has distributed the prizes at Stanford's tournaments and has been pictured with some of his executives.
Eagle magazine also carries news and pictures of Stanford's knighthood in 2006, in his adopted home of Antigua, at a ceremony attended by Prince Edward. Stanford was forced to alter his website after complaints that it suggested the Earl of Wessex had personally knighted Stanford rather than its governor general, Sir James Carlisle.
