COViSAL For Restitution ___________________________ September 20, 2017 Clerk of the Court United States District Court Northern District of Texas 1100 Commerce Street Dallas, Texas 75242 ATTN: Chambers of the Honorable David Godbey SEC Civil Action: 3:09-CV-0298-N Your Honor, We write to you in order to express our objection and protest the settlements by the U.S. Receiver, the Official Stanford Investors Committee, and others related to Stanford’s case. These settlements generate millions of dollars in fees for attorneys and only pennies for the families affected. In this instance we strongly protest the proposed settlement with Hunton & Williams LLP for $34 million, of which $8.5 million is for attorney’s fees. During the past 8 years Stanford’s depositors have received less than one percent of losses from announced distributions while being subject to a waiting period of almost a year per distribution.  At the same time, they have to ...

The continued delay in distribution from previous agreements has further frayed any trust the victims have in the Receiver and his attorneys. The saga drags on for thousands of families as they are forced to wait for money from the first agreements reached over six months ago. When Stanford Financial Group was seized by the U.S. authorities in 2009, the wo...

COViSAL For Justice & Restitution _______________________________________ For a fistful of dollars two gangs continue to fleece innocent families Wednesday, November 18, 2015 • Jaime Escalona speaking on behalf of COViSAL denounces millions of dollars in fees, and the fleecing of thousands of innocent families. • What’s been recovered by the US Receiver and Joint Liquidators during almost 7 years, goes to pay exorbitant attorneys’ fees and expenses. Until now, the only ones benefiting from the receivership and the liquidation of the Stanford Financial Group (“SFG”) and the Stanford International Bank Limited (“SIBL”), are the attorneys and their professionals. “It appears that they are purposely prolonging the legal process and litigation to continue generating millions of dollars in fees for themselves until the creditor’s patrimony is depleted," affirms Jaime Escalona, founder and leader of COViSAL, an international coalition of depositors...
