Mitt and Tagg Romney implicated in a $8.5 billion Ponzi scheme [View all]

https://www.politicolnews.com/romney-son-investigated-for-8-billion-ponzi-scheme/

Although, Allen Stanford received a 110 year jail sentence in the scheme the money was never recovered that thousands of investors lost around the world. As happened with the Wall Street trillions that were lost, no one has ever found out where the money really went, and in this case 7 to 9 billion dollars just plainly disappeared into thin air. Certainly, Stanford did not spend all of 7 billion dollars during his tenure at the bank. The first place to look is in the Caribbean, namely the island of Antigua where Stanford had his bank and other islands just to give investigators a hint, the money can still be recovered if they started looking for it.

Mitt Romney and his son Tagg Romney have been implicated in a 8.5 billion dollar ponzi scheme with Wall Street investors Allen Stanford and James M. Davis.

The pair are not cleared including their three partners in a court document verified, ongoing legal proceeding involving selling fraudulent CD’s to potential investors.
