Felix wrote: “in part because so many of Stanford’s banking customers were Latin Americans”

John Morrow responded: “Why would having hispanic customers make the regulatory bodies less likely to investigate?”

Felix didn’t write ‘hispanic’, he wrote ‘Latin Americans’ – as in people from Latin America, and presumably not citizens of the United States.

Given that he mentioned “a simple lack of will on the part of the SEC, FBI, DEA and IRS to follow things through,” his comment is intended to mean that those authorities didn’t follow things through because most of victims do not appear to be citizens of that regulator’s country.

Nothing to do with race, rather to do with nationality of the victims and whether the U.S. authorities should be the main investigators of a Caribbean/Central-SouthAmerican financial scheme.

I still believe that the best lobbyists for a Ponzi Scheme are the clients, many, if not all, of whom, are wealthy and well connected, with easy access to lawyers. After all, you have to go to these clients and say:

“We’d like to look into your investment, since you’re getting unnaturally high returns.”

The answer might well be:

“You don’t say. Fancy that. That’s what I’m paying this person for!”

Perhaps someone could look into what, if anything, clients said or did, during these years.
