A criminal complaint may have finally been issued for Robert Allen Stanford, the mustachioed Texan financier and cricket enthusiast who was recently charged by the SEC in a civil suit with defrauding investors of $8 billion. Fox News is the only news outlet reporting this thus far, but it does seem possible — today it was announced that the court-appointed receiver overseeing Stanford Financial has found only $90 million of the missing $8 billion, and the FBI arrested his chief investment officer, Laura Pendergest-Holt, last night. "She was cooperative," an agent told Reuters. She was also reportedly "shaking for hours" after talking to the Feds. Perhaps she gave up the old man? Developing.
