The extent of the fallout isn't known yet. Looks like Antigua Race Week has got problems with their largest supporter. They do provide the money for the parties. However he is also the largest employer in Antigua, so there may be large indirect consequences. He owns the Bank of Antigua as well as Stanford International. Lots of folks in Antigua could have all their money with him. I suspect there will be a large fallout. Stanford International Bank is no longer paying out for their CD's. The bank has been taken over by the courts. 30,000 customers in 131 countries!! The bank also had a 400K loss with Madoff, even though the bank web site says that they had no losses. The region has already had riots, mostly black on white, when the dockworkers were on strike and all those imported goods not distributed. This could get real ugly.
