Alleged Ponzi Mastermind Hacked In Antigua

krebsonsecurity writes "Criminal hackers apparently involved in break-ins at several US financial institutions also appear to have dug up dirt on Robert Allen Stanford, a man slated to go on trial this month for his alleged part in an $8 billion Ponzi scheme. Quoting: 'In early 2008, while federal investigators were busy investigating disgraced financier Robert Allen Stanford for his part in an alleged $8 billion fraudulent investment scheme, Eastern European hackers were quietly hoovering up tens of thousands customer financial records from the Bank of Antigua, an institution formerly owned by the Stanford Group.'"

    have dug up dirt on Robert Allen Stanford [CC], a man slated to go on trial this month for his alleged part in an $8 billion Ponzi scheme.

    Why can't we bring up criminal charges against Congress for their Ponzi schemes? This guy is a small-timer compared to them. Social Security: $14 trillion, Medicare Presscription drugs $18.6 trillion, Medicare $74 trillion.

    Quanta is already plural (it's the plural of quantum), so "quantas" is not a word.
