Jamaican Journalist Understands Stanford Now

H.G. Helps was once employed by a Jamaican newspaper, Antigua Sun, which was owned and run by R. Allen Stanford, a Texas billionare. Helps lost his job in 1999. To Helps Stanfored always seemed a bit strange, at a company meeting he put Helps on paid leave, Helps was often times confused why this man was paying him to do nothing. Stanford had different motives, he was schemeing people out of money and he had hopes and asperations to become royalty. He made it to night hood in 2006, but as the economy turned on this new downturn many men like Stanford become appearent.

When people scam other peoples money, and the economies good theres enough money to toss back and forth, but now, theres less, and people are less willing to fund things. Standford had asperations to be royalty, and he tempararly bought his way in with disapproval from most of the people.

I think that it is a good thing that people such as stanford are being brought out in their wrong doing. He was a manipulative man, that had many frowing upon his actions. As a leader of a country, which he was trying to become, he should be able to relate to the people, and do whats best along with representing the country. where as stanford was not interested in taking part in any of those activities, he was only concerned with himself.
