Alleged Ponzi Mastermind Hacked In Antigua

Posted by kdawson on Wednesday January 6, 2010 @01:11AM from the honor-among-thieves dept.

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.'"

Speaking of Ponzi schemes, have you guys heard about the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time? http://www.ssa.gov/
