Allen Stanford's Girlfriend Gaffe: Caught On Camera With Wives, Girlfriends Of English Cricketers

R. Allen Stanford, the Texas billionaire who has Antiguan citizenship, was charged Tuesday by the SEC for allegedly trying to bilk some 50,000 customers out of $8 billion.

But this wasn't Stanford's first brush with controversy.

The cricket fanatic, who sponsors the Stanford Super Series, where Caribbean cricketers play against the national English team for $20 million in prize money, was recently caught on camera in the player's balcony of the English team with his arms around the players' girlfriends and wives, who were sitting on his lap.

Stanford, who was knighted by the Antiguan government, the first American to receive that honor, apologized for the behavior.

I haven't seen anyone go to jail yet for this stuff.

[AN2009]

Stanford is going to be sitting on the lap of some inmates if these allegations of business fraud are true.

[Anciano]

Yeah, so they were sitting in his lap? He literally owns their husbands, so the women were just doing what comes naturally, especially to women that marry sports stars, catering to a rich guy that controls their pursestrings. Big F Deal.

[KrystynM]

Ugh, he's so gross too

[thevealchop]

If they can't find him and extradite him back to the U.S. (assuming he's not in the country anymore), then someone else will find him and kill him.

[Wiserone]

Unless of course, Antiguan, has no extradition with the U.S. Then he'll pay that government off and he'll continue living large, and they will protect him from the drug cartel until his money runs dry then he's toast. Bernie Madoff is probably telling Ruth Madoff right now: "Ruth, I told you we should have gone on the lamb with all the bucks we still have hidden. Now, I forced to stay in this Park Avenue hovel".

[twokidsonecat]

This man is repulsive.

[zendem1]

What's the one in the yellow doing with her hands? Grabbing loose change perhaps.

[sonoffestus]

Hey, where were the gin and tonic? I guess he doesn't know how to watch cricket.I am sure he wouldn't be so "friendly" if they were rugby player's wives.

[chelseafc]

or he wanted those dollys to play third man or slip one through the gully or bowl a maiden over or slip them a googly . (non-cricket types can look up these terms)

[peachSF02]

Not to mention get Silly Mid-Off

[philosopherkingtomas]

does her know Michele Bachmann ?
Sarah Palin?

[PDXTransplant]

Mustache rides a $1

[BushBites]

He has a cheesy mustache and everything.

Figures.

[mowomo]

Maybe he was showing off his "wicket".

[jeffp26]

You mean it was already "sticky?"
