This sentence gets the length of the jury's deliberations wrong.

The U.S. Department of Justice's June 14, 2012 press release about Stanford's sentencing states that, on March 6, 2012, he "was convicted on 13 of 14 counts by a federal jury following a six-week trial and approximately three days of deliberation." That directly contradicts the article's claim that the conviction came "after three hours of deliberation."

So the conviction itself is correctly described, but the article understates the deliberation period by a factor of roughly 24.

This clause compresses and misdates two separate events.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Stanford "moved the bank to Antigua in 1990 and changed its name to Stanford International Bank in 1994." That conflicts with the article's wording, which places the move "in the 1980s" and says the bank was renamed at that time.

A Fifth Circuit case summary likewise says Montserrat's Ministry of Finance notified Stanford in 1990 of its intent to revoke Guardian's license, after which he relocated the bank to Antigua. So the move was tied to events in 1990, not the 1980s, and the renaming to Stanford International Bank came later.

The amount attached to the SEC's February 17, 2009 case is off by about $1 billion.

In the SEC's own litigation release for that action, the agency said its complaint alleged that the defendants had committed "an $8 billion fraud" and had sold "approximately $8 billion" of so-called certificates of deposit. That directly contradicts the article's description of the February 17 SEC charge as involving "$7 billion" in CDs.

Later criminal descriptions of Stanford's scheme often refer to roughly $7 billion misappropriated from investors, which may explain the mix-up. But for the specific February 17, 2009 SEC charge discussed here, the SEC's stated figure was approximately $8 billion, not $7 billion.
