A report in the Miami Herald asks whether several current and former Greenberg Traurig partners helped R. Allen Stanford in running his alleged $7 billion Ponzi scheme. According to the article, lawyers from the firm helped Stanford set up a special trust in the late '90s in Miami that allowed millions in assets to be moved offshore without making disclosures to the federal government. Stanford also turned to Greenberg lawyers to draft changes to the Caribbean island's banking system, the report says.
