Reuters: "ST.JOHN'S, Antigua, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Step out of Antigua's V.C Bird International Airport, and within minutes you will be face to face with Texas billionaire Allen Stanford's presence on this sleepy Caribbean island.
On one side of a perfectly manicured avenue lined with palm trees, in marked contrast with the island's mostly scruffy and potholed roads, stands the imposing Stanford International Bank, now under investigation by U.S. financial regulators.
Directly opposite is Stanford's playground -- the Stanford Cricket Ground where just three months ago the Texan handed over $20 million in prize money for a single game of the Caribbean's favourite sport."
