Romney’s Friend Gets Welcomed in Jail
Posted bypoliticol on June 27, 2012

Sir Allen Stanford was arrested for the biggest ponzi scheme since Bernie Madoff and finally sentenced to 110 years in jail for his scam.

Stanford’s trial was to begin in January 2011 and he was imprisoned at a private prison, before the trial was to begin in Conroe which is near Houston, Texas. Unfortunately, Stanford did not receive a warm welcome in jail, and other inmates beat the living daylights out of him. Not once but twice. Stanford was placed in a cell that held 15 other inmates, with no air conditioning, no electrical power and in darkness. Some inmates claimed the conditions of the prison caused the beat up of Allen Stanford.

Stanford was the CEO master brain behind a ponzi scheme of fraud also linked to Mitt Romney’s son Tagg Romney who set up a secondary subsidiary after Stanford’s ponzi scheme was revealed.

Is Poitico a reliable source? I thought it was a right leaning website, I may have it mixed up with another one. I know that Politicususa is a good website.

I was looking for the Business Insider link mentioned in the OP and found Think Progress and Crooks and Liars but not that one and chanced upon this.

What do you guys think of this?
