Ponzi king Allen Stanford Says He Has Lost His Memory
How convenient!!

<snip>
R. Allen Stanford, who has gone through a carousel of defense lawyers, an addiction to medication and a jailhouse beating, is now complaining of another malady, a person familiar with the matter says: amnesia.

The former Texas financier says he cannot remember events prior to his arrest in June 2009, the person said.

U.S. District Judge David Hittner in Texas ordered in January that Mr. Stanford be weaned off anti-anxiety medication and anti-depressants at the recommendation of psychiatrists. The judge declared Mr. Stanford unable then to help defend himself against charges of masterminding a $7 billion Ponzi scheme.

Doctors are expected soon to report back on Mr. Stanford's condition. The judge will decide if the trial can go forward in January. Mr. Stanford's lawyer declined to comment.

5. ok, stick him in a state mental hospital until he gets better
Then put him on trial. That's what happens to the poor. sometimes. Or just leave him in jail with no treatment or trial for a few years and see if things improve, that happens to the poor also.

6. Are there any state hospitals left?
Throw him out on the street with all those who lost that safety net (thanks to Ronnie Raygun). Why should taxpayers pay for his recovery?

Just make sure to freeze his assets, first.
