Political Contributions
May 16, 2013
By U.S. Receiver Ralph Janvey
As part of the Receiver's efforts to recover assets for the Receivership Estate, the Receiver analyzed political
contributions made by Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company, Stanford Capital Management, LLC,
R. Allen Stanford, James M. Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and certain entities they own or control.
As a result of that effort, shortly after the inception of the Receivership, the Receiver sent letters to each
recipient of these political contributions requesting that they be returned to the Receiver.
The Receiver has also pursued litigation to recover certain political contributions. As of May 16, 2013, the Receiver
had received $1.8M in returned contributions. A list of contributions returned voluntarily or as a result of litigation
