Allen Stanford sentenced to 110 years in prison for $7bn Ponzi scheme - Telegraph

Allen Stanford, the Texan financier, has been sentenced to 110 years in prison for orchestrating a $7bn (£4.6bn) Ponzi scheme.

US authorities had sought a 230 year sentence for a man they described as "a ruthless predator responsible for one of the most egregious frauds in history." Stanford used the hearing to argue that "Stanford was a real brick-and-mortar global financial empire," that only crumbled after the government accused the company of being a Ponzi scheme in 2009.

Based on this Sir Merv should be facing 11,000 years in prison.
