The Press Association in Great Britain is report that suspected Ponzi conman, R. Allen Stanford may have been a Drugs Enforcement Administration informant since 1999.
According to the PA, Stanford's status as a CI (confidential informant) is why, despite the evidence against him, he has not yet been criminally charged. "Probes into the financial dealings of the Texan tycoon who bankrolled English cricket," the PA wrote, "were previously dropped because he may have been a US Government informant, an investigation suggests.
The claim is supported by the BBC who have gone on record to say, "Sir Allen Stanford may have been given free rein to run his banking empire as he was working with the American Drug Enforcement Administration."
