Quick question -- how many "outside wives" do you have?
R. Allen Stanford had the customary number -- no more, no less -- for a Miami bigshot who was bilking investors for billions from his base at the Miami Center.
I mean, the guy's not greedy or anything.
But I guess one of his "outside wives" sold her Key Biscayne house and moved the proceeds offshore blah blah blah, and the Houston receiver overseeing the case doesn't really like that too much:
Hmm, just who are the Miami attorneys who are alleged to have assisted Ms. Reeves-Stanford?Stanford receiver Ralph Janvey said he wants U.S. District Judge David Godbey to find Rebecca Reeves-Stanford and her Florida attorneys in contempt for selling a $3 million house in May, after she learned Stanford’s assets were being sought to repay investors allegedly swindled in a $7 billion Ponzi scheme.
Reeves-Stanford, a resident of Key Biscayne, near Miami, is “one of several ‘outside wives’ with whom Stanford had an ongoing relationship” for “nearly two decades,” Kevin Sadler, Janvey’s attorney, said in court papers filed yesterday in federal court in Dallas.
Reeves-Stanford’s newest lawyer, Bradford M. Cohen of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, said Janvey won’t succeed in having his client or her previous attorneys found in contempt.
(Please please please please please.....)
Darn!
Janvey is asking that Reeves-Stanford’s two previous lawyers -- Melida Viera and John Priovolos, both of Miami -- be held in contempt for allegedly facilitating her sale of the property and movement of the proceeds to an offshore account. Priovolos declined to comment. Viera couldn’t be reached for comment after regular business hours yesterday.Cue well-worn anecdote.......

my favorite part of the article:
"Allen Stanford told Bloomberg News in April that he has six children, ranging in age from 12 to 26 years old. At least four of these children, accompanied by their mothers, attended his June 25 arraignment in Houston federal court.
Stanford’s extended family crowded into two rows at the front of the courtroom gallery that day, where Stanford occasionally flashed the children a smile or a thumbs-up gesture. The ex-girlfriends greeted one another cordially, and the children exchanged hugs with one another and with Stanford’s 31-year-old fiancée, Andrea."
I thought John was a state prosecutor.
That's Bradford M. Cohen, former contestant on Donald Trump's The Apprentice.
From his website, www.crimdefend.com: "Although [Cohen] has been recognized as a top criminal lawyer, he is never too busy to return emails and phone calls."

uh, maybe 30 years ago, for a year? that's what all teh hack prosecutors trade off of to try and build a practice " i was a prosecutor! i can get you 'off'".
and when they fail to build a practice, they run for judge, on the same platform
all teh while still being a prosecutor, never defending a case, just pleading clients
Word is, the feds are informally poking around and looking at brown. And not the local boys and girls either, so he can't play the relationship card. Thus his constant denials.
Bowman, do you hear the footsteps?
Say what you want, Stanford knew how to live.
Somebody call the shumie.
How do you get this outside wife job?
Kidding, kidding!
Bowman is just a bank lawyer. A real ass, 100% purified ass, is Charlie De Leo at Fowler White. He does not realize he is an ass, which makes him very dangerous...De Leo, shit rose to the top against gravity with him.
I have seen Cohen in trial before and he gets worked up. I would imagine that those boys in texas are in for a good old fashion throw down.
As for her old counsel, I always question when ex State Attorneys take cases way out of their league, it is really a lesson for anyone coming out of the SA's office. A dollar today maybe 100 headaches tomorrow.
