For some of Sir Allen’s victims, the playbook for getting back to even includes a chapter on a multi-billion dollar suit against the Antiguan government. You might think suing an entire government was little more than a knee-jerk reaction to the news Antigua’s chief banking supervisor, and Allen Stanford blood brother, Leroy King did his part to help the knight pull off his charade. But the victims appear to be quite serious about their own blood quest. If reason alone won’t convince the Caribbean island to pay up, maybe making them sweat about where their next development dollar is going to come from will do the trick.
The Stanford Victims Coalition and the law firm Morgenstern & Blue sent a letter on Friday to over 50 US senators and congressmen asking them to block Antigua from receiving any funding from the IMF.
It’s been a few months since the Antiguan government received the head’s up that its annual GDP for the next generation is expected to make Stanford victims whole. Maybe they’ve reconsidered their stance on the merits of the suit.
Chairman of the Antigua Labour Party Gaston Browne said efforts by a group of United States investors to sue the local government over the Sir Allen Stanford matter is out of line.
“That case is not a justifiable one, the investors had a private contract with Stanford, they don’t have any contractual agreement between themselves and the government and for them now to look for the government to pay them is absolute nonsense.”

Unfortunately for Antigua, in an environment where people successfully use hot coffee and psychic powers as means to a winning lottery ticket, the threat of absolute nonsense is all too real to completely overlook.
off topic, but damn MCC looks trannylicious.
I think that the “blood quest” line ranks up there with the “checkmate” line. You’re plagiarizing fifth graders, aren’t you?
Greg – I actually see where you were going with this post. It had a point but your hack handed writing style killed it. However, I suppose this is progress.
“Unfortunately for Antigua, in an environment where people successfully use hot coffee and psychic powers as means to a winning lottery ticket, the threat of absolute nonsense is all too real to completely overlook.”
What is this sentence even saying? Who uses hot coffee as a means to a winning lottery ticket? Its like a mongoloid child picking random words from a dictionary wrote this post.
Hi Greg, here’s an easy way to make your posts more readable:
“You might think suing an entire government was little more than a knee-jerk reaction to the news Antigua’s chief banking supervisor, and Allen Stanford blood brother, Leroy King did his part to help the knight pull off his charade. But the victims appear to be quite serious about their own blood quest.”
Translating to Japanese and back via Babelfish, you get
“Of a little many appealing to the supervisor main banking of [anchigua] of news from conditional reflex reaction, thing was, in order to help the fact that the horseman exceeds that plain gauze lard, allene Stanford did that part of the actual sibling and [ruroa] king, the entire government perhaps you think. But the victim considerably seems the serious way concerning the search for their itself blood.”
Voila!
5 FTW. japanese engrish more readable that greg
who is less amused, antigua by stanford victims, or DB readers by your drivel? i say the latter.

“Winning lottery ticket” = proceeds from frivalous law suit(s), at least thats what I think it means.
My first reaction mirrored yours, but this one might actually be kinda ok.
@ Analyst
I thought that he might mean a hot coffee lawsuit as well, but then the metaphor of the lottery breaks down with the psychic bit, since, while one might use a psychic for an actual lottery, a psychic in a lawsuit doesn’t make sense.

Greg,
We are not amused by your drivel, you scum.
Faithfully,
HRM QE2
Reading Greg’s comment is like watching 3 retards chase a puppy down the street.
Greg -
The threat of absolute nonsense is all to real every time you post. You douche.
Love,
Mom
Greg, speaking of lawsuits I’m going to sue you for every second I’ve spent reading your incoherent drivel. I figure in the time that you’ve been here you’ve wasted at least 5 hours of my life, I’ll be conservative on my hourly rate and say 40 dollars an hour, you owe me 200 bucks. Give me the money Lebowski.
I was cheering for Greg’s prose to clear up some with practice–but this is a big step back into grade school.
ASK SOMEBODY TO READ IT FIRST GREG.
The lead balloon humor at the end….
And people have been tippy toeing around the utter corruption of Antigua for PC reasons for a long time. It;s more serious and more heartless than using mojo and hot coffee on a lottery ticket.
Please note…
To TGFD, posters #4,5,13,14 sound like laid-off, adolescent imbeciles who have no job prospects, little money, plenty of idle time, and no writing skills with which to burnish-up their unimpressive resumes.

Too Gay For Delaware: speaking of writing skills, a better writer would have left “-up” out of that limp-wristed insult.
Sovereign Immunity bars this suit. All that is happening is the law firm is trying to blackmail the island by using the US congress because they have no chance of winning the suit.
