Is this another case . . .?

. . . . of kid-glove treatment for a major criminal? This Stanford not only defrauded thousands of US investors but is destabilizing whole governments in Central America! Yet, he's only asked to surrender his passport! What is going on???

SEC spokesman Kevin Callahan said that Stanford and his two co-defendants, James Davis, SIB's chief financial officer, and Laura Pendergest-Holt, chief investment officer of a Stanford affiliate, had surrendered their passports in keeping with a judge's order.

On Thursday the FBI tracked Stanford down in Fredericksburg, about 50 miles south of Washington, to serve him with court papers, but a day later Stanford was nowhere to be seen in the historic Virginia town.

What do you think?

Update:

loser--perhaps. It seems like preferential treatment because a person with several residences and international connections would seem to be able to find many ways to hide and quickly, at that. County jail could clip his wings quite effectively, imo.

    It takes time to develop criminal charges. The investigation is still going on. People like him have several residences. There is really no place to hide.
