Reuters: "HOUSTON/NEW YORK, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Allen Stanford, accused of masterminding a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, has lost a bid to get out of jail to work on a separate trial seeking to hold Lloyd's of London responsible for his defense costs.
Stanford, who has been locked up for 14 months awaiting his criminal trial, sought to be freed into a U.S. marshal's custody so he could be transported to his lawyer's office to prepare for the Aug. 24 Lloyd's trial.
