Jurisdictional Issues in Cross-Border Fraud

Jurisdictional Issues in Cross-Border Fraud

In 2009, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a complaint in the Northern District of Texas against Stanford International Bank Limited (SIB), and the Financial Services Regulatory Commission in Antigua appointed its own receivers over the assets of SIB. This initiated a cross-border jurisdictional battle as each sought to control the international assets of SIB. This panel explores the practical and legal issues encountered in cross-border fraud involving assets, and creditors, in multiple jurisdictions, with a focus on SIB.
