Allen Stanford---of Stanford Investments----stole 8 billion dollars.
He sold guaranteed CDs---the problem is---the cash he took in---he was already paying off previous investors--making it another Ponzi scheme.
Oh yeah, Stanford owns 21 properties in the US total value...192 million dollars, including a Hamptons property valued at 17 million, a Malibu house valued at 29 million, and a Maui property valued at another 18 million.
These guys are awesome.
