And the hits keep coming. Yet another good Evangelical Republican bites the dust. Of course he did he right thing, being personally responsible and all, he is willing to face the music and prove he is an innocent man that just got caught up in Carters economic mess. Oh... he tried to escape the country on a private jet!!


Stanford fears hit banks in Antigua, Caracas - World business- msnbc.com: "ST. JOHN'S, Antigua - Hundreds of people lined up to withdraw money from banks in Antigua and Caracas affiliated with Texas billionaire R. Allen Stanford, a day after the tycoon was charged with an $8 billion fraud."

Meanwhile, the brash, 58-year-old financier sought to get a one-way flight out of the U.S. to Antigua, CNBC reported Wednesday. Citing an unnamed source in the private jet industry, CNBC said Stanford contacted a private jet owner Tuesday and attempted to pay for the flight with a credit card, but was refused because the company would only accept a wire transfer.
