Marcus Wide and why people invested in SIBL

Mr. Marcus Wide said in the online presentation (Webinar) on October 11, 2011: “… One of the reasons people invested in Stanford International Bank was that it was not the US, it was outside the US, and to find suddenly that you are dealing with the US Government with respect to your account may be distasteful, and not what was intended by people who put money there.”

However, the reality for the Latin American victims was the opposite. The majority of Latin Americans deposited their savings in SIBL because it was one among hundreds of companies that made up the Stanford Financial Group (“SFG”), an American holding that operated in and from the United States under US regulations.

El Sr. Marcus Wide dijo en la Presentación Online (Webinar) del 
11 de octubre de 2011: “…una de las razones por la cual la 
gente invirtió en el Stanford International Bank fue que no era 
en los Estados Unidos,  que era fuera de los Estados Unidos. 
Y encontrarse de repente que estás tratando tu cuenta 
con el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, puede ser muy 
desagradable y no la intención que tenía la gente que 
colocó su dinero allí”.

Pero la realidad de las víctimas “latinoamericanas” fue lo contrario. La mayoría de los latinoamericanos depositaron sus ahorros en el SIBL porque era una entre un centenar de compañías que integraban el Stanford Financial Group (“SFG”), holding norteamericano que operaba en y desde los Estados Unidos, bajo las regulaciones estadounidenses.
