Former Stanford Investment Advisers Push to Get Assets Unfrozen
Headline Legal News
The Fulton County Daily Reports states that when Stanford International Bank, the financial institution founded by larger-than-life Texan R. Allen Stanford, imploded earlier this year after the Securities and Exchange Commission accused the bank of fraud, assets belonging not just to investors but also to financial advisers once employed there were frozen.
Now, with the help of some Atlanta lawyers, those financial advisers are trying to get their money back.
Jason W. Graham of Graham & Penman, along with associate Eric L. Jensen and Fort Worth, Texas, lawyer Robert J. Wright, filed a motion in US District Court for the Northern District of Texas on July 28 seeking to modify the receivership order and to have accounts belonging to 10 former financial advisers at Stanford International Bank, or SIB, released.
