November 18, 2024 The Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General of the United States U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530 Subject : TD Bank Pleads Guilty and Stanford's victims who have been made invisible cry out for justice. Dear Attorney General Garland, We, victims of Allen Stanford's Ponzi scheme , represented by Jaime R. Escalona , leader of the Stanford Victims Coalition Latin America ("COViSAL"), a coalition that has brought together thousands of families from Latin America, the United States, and around the world since 2009, urgently renew our plea for justice and restitution. The Department of Justice’s (" DOJ ") failure to act against the financial institutions that facilitated the fraud has prolonged our suffering. We draw your attention to COViSAL's November 6. 2024 letter to the Honorable Judge Esther Salas in Case No. 2:24-cr-00667-ES-1. United States v. TD Bank, N.A., [United S...
COViSAL is formed by families who lost their life savings when Stanford Financial Group was seized by the U.S. authorities in February of 2009. We demand immediate restitution from the U.S. Government. Our rights must prevail over judicial manipulations, and good conscience must be the instrument to impart justice and stop a never-ending fraud. The nature of the work of COViSAL, since 2009, is research, information, and dissemination. It should NOT be interpreted as legal advice.
