A lawyer for Sir Allen Stanford has appealed a judge's decision to keep his client in the big house pending trial. Why? 'Cause Stanfords weren't meant to be cooped up behind bars like criminals! They need the space to stretch their shit out, drop weights for attention, and run free! But not run, like, in the flight risk sense. No, that would never happen, because Big Al's innocent. Got nothing to run from and suggestions to the contrary will result in a punch to the mouth. Getting real for two, attorney Dick DeGuerin realizes there's not a chance in hell that Stanford will get to go home ahead of his court date, but if he could be place in a more comfortable prison, where the duo could plan what's sure to be an air-tight defense (this is a case of regulators just being jealous they weren't the 405th wealthiest person in the world) without prying eyes looking over their shoulders, that'd be top notch.
DeGuerin also filed a motion requesting that Stanford be transferred from the Joe Corley Dentention Center in Conroe to a federal detention center in Houston.In the filing, DeGuerin said that the Conroe facility -- besides being 43 miles from his office -- does not allow proper attorney-client visitation considering "there is a Plexiglas window and small steel mesh hole through which an inmate and lawyer must speak and be heard," and also limits attorney-inmate phone calls and does not allow Sunday visitation.
By contrast, according to the filing, the Houston jail provides a secure room "with the ability to have a meaningful review of documents and papers."

"Stanford said the government action to seize his assets had left him with little money and few changes of clothing. He was forced to fly on a commercial plane for the first time in almost two decades after the government seized his fleet of six private jets.
"They make you take your shoes off and everything, it's terrible," he complained about the airport security that apparently came as a surprise to him."
I could not agree more!

That picture never gets old. I think I'll have it engraved on my tombstone.

Maybe he has some type of spelling phobia, and just can't live in a "dentention" center. Did Ellie write that?

I hope Stanford gets what's coming to him.

Sir Stanford is a Sociopath and should be executed for what he has done to so many people. These are people including myself that lost lots of money. We lost money because we believed what he promised. Thousands of people aare suffering because he is a liar and a cheat. People will die due to the destruction of their finances and many peoples health will deteriorate for the same reason. I believe he should be executed for murder!
The Stanfords, Madoff'e etc of the world should be removed from society...they are not fit to live with the rest of the population.
We shouldn't lose what we worked hard to earn.
He is a scumbag and so is anyone that supports his behavior including the attorney that would defend him.
