Texas Financial Firm Accused of Fraud
Stopping what it called a “massive ongoing fraud,” the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday accused Robert Allen Stanford, the chief of the Stanford Financial Group, as well as two top executives and some affiliates of fraud in the sale of about $8 billion of high-yielding certificates of deposit held in the firm’s bank in Antigua.

Hey Y'All,
Gooch is the name and I had no idea y'all were out there [here ?].
I'm down south of SA and NW of Corpus Christi.
I don't have much but I did buy some pre 64 silver with about half of what little I had saved.
I have been keeping the bank account open just as a means of having a "credit card". [it is actually a debit card but it can be used as a credit card up to the amount in my checking account]
Most of my "money" [frn's] is in cash and here at the hideout.
It looks like it might be time to drain them accounts down again.
Pleased to meet y'all.
