Escalona , in my capacity as founder of COViSAL, a coalition that brings together more than 1,500 survivors of the Stanford Financial Group debacle;  through this letter, I convey to you our members’ indignation for your seven  (7)  months of silence and their demand for a detailed report with the plans and strategies in the conclusion of the pending litigation, the closing of the Liquidation of Stanford International Bank Limited  ("SIBL")  and distribution of the remaining funds.   It is obvious that additional recoveries through litigation are uncertain. The main lawsuit against  Toronto Dominion Bank  in  Canada  for  $4.5 billion  failed in the  Court of First Instance  and in the  Court of Appeal  due to the  indolence  of our Trial Lawyer...

Allen Stanford that he could no longer pay for his grandson’s autism treatments, he said in a steady voice in court on Thursday, before turning to the defendant and declaring, “You are a dirty, rotten scoundrel.” Mr. Stanford took the insult in stride, and stared right back. Then Angela Shaw Kogutt, who said three generations of her family had lost over $4 million because of Mr. Stanford’s “financial terrorism,” asked all the scores of victims in the federal court gallery to stand before Mr. Stanford to show him their faces of misery.
