Reuters: "MIAMI, Aug 13 (Reuters) - The tiny Caribbean state of Antigua and Barbuda, still reeling from the fraud scandal surrounding Texas billionaire Allen Stanford, on Thursday found a new foreign benefactor in Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer told the nation in a broadcast that the leftist Venezuelan leader was providing $50 million in urgent financial assistance to the twin-island state, which was at the heart of Stanford's far-reaching business empire that collapsed in February."
