Allen Stanford
My guess on Stanford Firm's Deep Venezuela Ties? Money laundering for drug cartels. Speculation seems to be that it's tentacular.
I'm not anything like an expert on scams, but I suspect that Stanford's is nothing but a 419, AKA spanish prisoner, scam. But then, aren't they all?
I wonder about degrees of separation:

Drug-trafficking suspect will be tried in Venezuela
March 11, 2008
Venezuela, Colombia and the United States finally appear to agree on something: that drug trafficking suspect Hermagoras Gonzalez Polanco is a dangerous felon.
[Polanco] controls as much as one-third of the 250 tons of cocaine that annually passes through Venezuela on the way to U.S. and European markets, authorities say.
Update: although I can see for miles and miles and miles....this one was a no-brainer, right? Accused Financier Under Federal Drug Investigation

Even with this amount of pain, it's still not time
I just received mail from John Conyers:
==============
It's Time Ordinary Americans Got a Real Stimulus
The origin of our country's economic crisis is the collapse of the housing market.
We are experiencing foreclosure rates not seen since the Great Depression.
I'm frustrated that while we are spending hundreds of billions to help banks,
we have done nothing to help out homeowners.
Tell Congress: It's time to help American families keep their homes
Every day in my hometown, 126 families lose their homes. As the law is
currently written, mortgage lenders have more incentive to foreclose on a
home than to modify the loan.
We need to level the playing field and give homeowners a fighting chance.
Tell Congress: It's time ordinary Americans got a real stimulus
I have been working with my colleagues in the House and Senate to pass
legislation helping homeowners facing foreclosure. But there are very
powerful interests working against us.
President Obama wants to enact mortgage relief legislation. We need to
let Congress know that help for homeowners can't wait any longer. It's
time to do what's right and help those on the front lines of this economic crisis.
===================
I wonder how long it will take from today, February 18, 2009, for people to realize that housing is a human right. And note the absence, in Conyers' mail, of any reference to renters.
"Look what your fist did to my face."
