Sir Allen Stanford – Baruba is not Barbuda

“We have – and want – nothing to do with Sir Allen Stanford. Baruba is not Barbuda.”

With this terse statement the Royal Bank of Baruba (ROB-BAR) today distanced itself from the furore surrounding Stanford, charged Tuesday with a “massive” $8.5bn (£6bn) fraud at his Antigua and Barbuda based bank.

A spokesperson for ROB-BAR said no further comment would be forthcoming and asked for all donations to be made out to the ROB-BAR Fund for Barubans who have lost their life savings by depositing with Stanford’s bank or Iceland.
