Allen Stanford trial in second week Feb 1, 2012, 4:09pm EST The first few days of the criminal trial for accused Ponzi schemer R. Allen Stanford have featured testimony of former executives in. Allen Stanford now faces a shorter, civil trial with the same jury on prosecutors' efforts to seize funds from more than 30 bank accounts held by the financier or his companies around the world. Former Texas financier Robert Allen Stanford is serving a 110-year prison term after being convicted in 2012 of running a $7.2-billion Ponzi scheme.
Toronto-Dominion Bank will defend itself in a trial starting in a Canadian court on Monday in which liquidators of the collapsed Antigua bank of former Texas financier Robert Allen Stanford are seeking $5.5 billion in damages.
The joint liquidators of Stanford International Bank (SIB) allege “negligence and knowing assistance” by TD, Canada’s second-biggest lender, in allowing SIB to maintain correspondent accounts, according to a statement filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in 2019.
Correspondent banking is the business of providing services to offshore financial institutions. The joint liquidators are Grant Thornton in the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands. The trial is scheduled to last three months, a spokesman for one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers said.
Stanford is serving a 110-year prison term after being convicted in 2012 of running a $7.2 billion Ponzi scheme.
“Like everyone else, during the time that Stanford International Bank was a customer of TD, we had no knowledge of, and no reason to suspect, any fraudulent activity was taking place,” a TD spokesman said. “TD is not responsible for the fraud committed by Allen Stanford.”
TD estimated reasonably possible losses from legal and regulatory actions including the Stanford litigation of between zero and C$951 million ($750 million) as of Oct. 31. Provisions related to legal action will be taken when a loss becomes probable and an amount can be reliably estimated, it said in its 2020 annual report here.
