And on a related note, Stanford seems to be uh, missing. Coincidence? The SEC may be the least of his worries, if he's still capable of worrying.
Or perhaps he's in protective custody.

Still missing as of today.

George Carlin had the best solution for all of this money misheges.
Apply the death penalty to the bankers who launder the money and the drug trade would stop with in a month.

skin em alive !
Stanford and Madoff should be skinned alive . . . slowly.... with lots of salt.
And those that were asleep at the helm of the SEC and justice dept. should have to sit and watch before it is their turn for the same....
disgusting....
Its all just stuff and some numbers.

Stanford
Supposedly he has turned himself in to the FBI, is 'very depressed'' and could be in danger from 'Scarface', aka: 'Daddy Cocaine', who is reputed to
be running some cartel operations from an American prison cell. I read it today; I think the first part of the link is www.co.uk.thesun. I don't have a computer so can't do copy, cut, and paste, downloads, etc. Just gotta rely on my seizure-damaged memory, which
isn't that great. : (

His survival inside or outside of jail depends on his ability to keep his mouth shut about the money. He should take the "5th" and take his sentence.
But most of these guys fold up like a cheap lawn chair under pressure and then sing like a canary until the cat comes to his cage and eats him.

The avatar rig was parked outside the Smithsonian when I visited DC last summer. I must have walked around it ten times taking picures- a very cool
bus.
I wish I still had my 66 VW Transporter Bus. Mr. Bus was a great baja surf-exploration machine. I loaned him to a navy bud who got wasted and drove
Mr Bus squarely into a tree. My freind survived but sadly Mr Bus didn't make it.
