Allen Stanford says SEC destroyed business

R. Allen Stanford, the Texas billionaire accused of masterminding an $8-billion Ponzi scheme, said “I’m not a damn swindler” in an interview in Houston.

“The SEC far overreached and basically ruined a multibillion-dollar company,” Stanford said in the interview in the office of his criminal-defense lawyer, Dick DeGuerin on Monday. “Everybody got paid and everybody got made whole until the SEC came in and shut everything down.”
