HOUSTON, Texas, CMC – Disgraced Texan cricket financier Allen Stanford was on Thursday sentenced to 110 years in prison by a US federal judge.
The 62-year-old, who bankrolled the lucrative Stanford Twenty20 in the Caribbean, was found guilty of 13 felony counts of fraud and conspiracy in March, after using his off-shore bank in Antigua to underwrite a US$7 billion ponzi scheme.
