Antiguan ex-official arrested in Stanford case
By ANIKA KENTISH, The Associated Press
Antigua's former chief financial regulator surrendered Thursday to face U.S. charges that he aided an alleged $7 billion swindle by Texas billionaire R. Allen Stanford, government officials said.
Leroy King, who will now face extradition proceedings, was taken into custody by island police, according to Anthony Armstrong, the director of public prosecutions for Antigua and Barbuda.
U.S. prosecutors said that as administrator of the Caribbean nation's Financial Services Regulatory Commission, King should have caught the fraud. He is accused of accepting more than $100,000 in bribes to turn a blind eye to irregularities.
Stanford, who pleaded not guilty Thursday in Houston, was indicted last week on U.S. charges that his banking empire was really a Ponzi scheme built on lies and bribery. The billionaire and several executives allegedly misused most of the $7 billion they advised clients to invest
