Investors Sue Proskauer & Partner Over Alleged Conspiracy With Stanford

Posted Aug 28, 2009 3:36 PM CST

Investors who lost money in R. Allen Stanford's alleged $7 billion Ponzi scheme run under the guise of a banking operation based in Antigua have reportedly filed a class action against Proskauer Rose and partner Thomas Sjoblom.

Filed yesterday in federal court in Dallas, it alleges that the firm participated in a conspiracy to perpetrate the massive fraud, reports the Am Law Daily, based on an article in the National Law Journal. The plaintiff investors are seeking class action status.

The law firm says it had no involvement in Stanford's alleged Ponzi scheme and says there is "no basis whatsoever" for the suit, the legal publication reports.

Alright!  Where’s that crazy little guy that posts the “porksour” comments on every story that has to do with problems at Proskauer?  He’s in danger of missing one!

The editors don’t like me comments no more, to close to hurting the legal professions image as crooks and now editors of press they don’t like.

Ah, found it, then.

I read them all.  Some few times in my life, I have found the ranters actually had their hook floating closest to the real facts.  You really never know.  Certainly, the SEC never knows.
