STANFORD INT'L: SEC to Decide if Fraud Victims Get SIPC Protection
------------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua Gallu at Bloomberg News reports that the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, faulted for missing Robert Allen
Stanford's alleged US$7 billion fraud, said it will decide "in the
near future" whether victims should receive federal insurance
payments.
SEC enforcement director Robert Khuzami and inspections chief
Carlo di Florio said the SEC has devoted "substantial time and
effort" to determine whether the Securities Investor Protection
Corp. erred in denying Stanford International investors coverage,
according to Bloomberg.
The report relates that investors, lawmakers and the SEC's
inspector general have accused the agency and the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority of ignoring warnings about Mr.
Stanford years before he was arrested. FINRA, the industry-funded
brokerage regulator, oversaw the Stanford unit that sold the
certificates of deposit.
Bloomberg discloses that Stephen Harbeck, the president of the
Securities Investor Protection Corp., said in an August 2009
letter that Stanford investors weren't eligible for insurance
payments because the government-sponsored regulator doesn't
protect people who are sold worthless securities. Bloomberg
relates that SIPC, which was chartered to guard investors against
broker theft or brokerage failure, is overseen by the SEC.
Missing Mr. Stanford's alleged fraud wasn't a matter of faulty
regulations so much as a failure to enforce existing statutes,
FINRA chairman and chief executive officer Richard Ketchum told
lawmakers, Bloomberg notes.
Bloomberg discloses that Julie Preuitt, a SEC employee who worked
on an examination of Stanford's business in 1997, said she had
been rebuffed by supervisors after flagging possible fraud and
pushing for a more thorough investigation. Bloomberg relates that
Ms. Preuitt said she was also reprimanded by management after
complaining about changes to the examination program in 2007.
Bloomberg notes that SEC Inspector General H. David Kotz urged in
a report last year that the SEC is considering taking disciplinary
action against two managers in the Fort Worth office who punished
Ms. Preuitt.
"That hasn't happened," Ms. Preuitt said, Bloomberg adds.
About Stanford International Bank
Domiciled in Antigua, Stanford International Bank Limited --
http://www.stanfordinternationalbank.com/-- is a member of
Stanford Private Wealth Management, a global financial services
network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under management
or advisement. Stanford Private Wealth Management serves more
than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.
On Feb. 16, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order appointing
Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and records of
Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company,
Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or
control. The February 16 order, as amended March 12, 2009,
directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control and
possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate; and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 17, 2009,
charged before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr.
Stanford and three of his companies for orchestrating a
fraudulent, multi-billion dollar investment scheme centering on an
US$8 billion Certificate of Deposit program.
A criminal case was also pursued against Mr. Stanford in June 2009
before the U.S. District Court in Houston, Texas. Mr. Stanford
pleaded not guilty to 21 charges of multi-billion dollar fraud,
money-laundering and obstruction of justice. Assistant Attorney
General Lanny Breuer, as cited by Agence France-Presse News, said
in a 57-page indictment that Mr. Stanford could face up to 250
years in prison if convicted on all charges. Mr. Stanford
surrendered to U.S. authorities after a warrant was issued for his
arrest on the criminal charges.
The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342 (S.D. Tex.). The
civil case is SEC v. Stanford International Bank, 09-cv-00298
(N.D. Tex.).

SUL AMERICA: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Ratings at 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Sul America S.A.'s (Sasa) ratings and
revised their Rating Outlook to Positive from Stable:
-- Foreign and Local Currency Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings
(IDRs) at 'BB+'; Positive Outlook;
-- Foreign and Local Currency Short-Term IDRs at 'B';
-- National Long-Term Rating at 'AA(bra)'; Positive Outlook;
-- National Short-Term Rating at 'F1+(bra)';
-- USD200 million senior notes due February 2012 Foreign
Currency Long-Term Rating at 'BB'.
The Positive Outlook on the ratings of Sasa, the holding company
of the Brazilian insurance group Sul America Seguros (SAS),
reflects the maintenance of good and consistent operating
performance despite increasing competition and the termination of
an important joint venture with Banco do Brasil S.A. (BdB) in the
auto segment in 2010. Sasa's performance has been supported by
continued intense commercial business activities through its broad
base of local brokers. To strengthen its competitiveness in the
retail market and maintain its position in its main business
niches, Sasa has also been expanding the number of its
partnerships, mainly with financial groups, since SAS is among the
few independent insurance groups in Latin America. In addition,
the ratings also take into account Sasa's recent acquisitions and
coinsurance agreements in the health and auto segments, which are
expected to contribute to growth and profitability.
A future upgrade of the ratings will depend on the ability of Sasa
to further consolidate the recently expanded distribution network
(mostly partnerships). A stable performance in terms of claims
ratio and overall profitability would also be needed in order for
the Positive Outlook to lead to a rating upgrade. A more
conservative approach in terms of leverage and the newly enhanced
liquidity levels could also trigger a positive rating action. A
deterioration in its operating performance, leverage or liquidity
may trigger a change on the Outlook back to Stable, or even
negatively affect the ratings depending on the materiality of the
deterioration.
SAS has a diversified product mix, highlighted by its strong
presence in the health and auto segments in Brazil, which have a
high correlation with its operational performance. Its ratings
also consider its good controls and constant improvements in its
underwriting practices and management of reserves. Furthermore,
they reflect expectations for the maintenance of the adequacy of
capital and leverage and satisfactory liquidity ratios, which
would enable profitability to remain at satisfactory levels, in
line with its international peers, notwithstanding greater
competition.
Despite greater focus on risk underwriting which could be
detrimental to market share, Sasa maintained strong premium growth
in 2010 in its main business segments - a trend that may continue
during 2011 based on its expanded distribution network and the
expected economic growth in Brazil. Despite the termination of its
partnership with BdB, its established and solid franchise and
effective commercial business strategies have allowed the entity
to continue with its growth strategy without sacrificing prices.
Loss ratio is expected to remain stable in 2011, in line with
local peers, despite cautious pricing, cost control and isolated
rate adjustments. The combined ratio is expected to stay below
100%, now incorporating the strengthening of reserves and
occasional adjustments to its cost structure. This will also
include a small contribution from the extension of the back office
contract with BdB. Although returns could come under pressure and
even decrease in the long term, they are expected to remain
favorable in 2011 and compare well with those of its peers,
benefiting from growth, good financial earnings and effective cost
management.
Sasa's liquid assets were strengthened with the sale of
participations and real estate in 2010 and are expected to remain
high through 2011/2012, even if SAS intends to take advantage of
potential business opportunities and redeem its eurobond issuance.
Following the payment of dividends, it stood around BRL800million
in May 2011, which was equivalent to nearly 2.3 times total
financial indebtedness. Fitch expects that Sasa will maintain
sufficient liquidity to support growth independent of potential
acquisitions.
Sasa is the second largest health insurance provider in Brazil and
the third largest in auto. It is 33.28% controlled by Sulasapar
Participacoes (Sulasapar), 21.47% by ING Insurance International
BV (ING) and a further 38.40% is the market float. ING's group
support was not incorporated into the company's ratings by Fitch.
Recently, ING announced that it is reviewing its global strategy
and intends to sell its insurance operations. Fitch is monitoring
the progress of changes in Sasa's shareholder composition and the
possible impacts on its ratings, even though the benefit of ING's
support has not been incorporated into the ratings.

AIR JAMAICA: No Job Loss From Merger With Caribbean Airlines
------------------------------------------------------------
Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that Jamaica Minister of
Finance and Public Service Audley Shaw gave his assurance that
there will be no further substantial job losses at Caribbean
Airlines Limited and Air Jamaica Limited due to the two entities'
merger.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 30, 2011, Trinidad Express said the merger between
Caribbean Airlines and Air Jamaica was sealed on May 26, 2011,
with the signing of the shareholder agreement which gives CAL
legal access to all routes operated by Air Jamaica. Trinidad and
Tobago Finance Minister Winston Dookeran said the merger will make
way for the expansion of CAL, which will have a positive impact on
revenue, according to Trinidad Express. Jamaican Finance Minister
Audley Shaw said there was a capital base of some TT$500 million
in the merger, according to the report.
"Previous job losses would have already taken place," Trinidad
Express quoted Mr. Shaw as saying. "I don't anticipate that there
will be any cause for alarm," he added.
Meanwhile, Trinidad Express notes that Prime Minister Kamla
Persad-Bissessar said the Air Jamaica brand would remain intact,
but did not elaborate.
About Air Jamaica
Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica, Air Jamaica Limited --
http://www.airjamaica.com/-- was founded in 1969. It flies
passengers and cargo to almost 30 destinations in the Caribbean,
Europe, and North America.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 23, 2010, Trinidad and Tobago Caribbean Airline on May 1,
2010, acquired Air Jamaica for US$50 million and operated six Air
Jamaica aircraft and eight of its routes. Jamaica got a 16% stake
in the merged operation, with CAL owning 84%. According to a TCR-
LA report on June 29, 2009, RadioJamaica News said the Jamaican
government indicated it will name a buyer for cash-strapped Air
Jamaica. RadioJamaica related the airline has been hemorrhaging
over US$150 million per annum and the government has had to foot
the massive bill. In addition, RadioJamaica said, Air Jamaica
currently has over US$600 million in loans outstanding.
As of Aug. 18, 2010, the airline continues to carry Moody's "B3"
long-term corporate family, and senior unsecured debt ratings.
CABLE & WIRELESS: Incurs JM$6-Billion Loss in Year Ended March 31
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that Cable and Wireless Jamaica racked up a JM$6
billion loss for its financial year ended March 31.
The company's audited statements show that during the 12 months,
losses deteriorated from JM$3.3 billion in 2010 to JM$6.1 billion
due in part to Cable and Wireless earning less revenues, according
to RJR News.
RJR News notes that the company saw inflows into its coffers drop
by 6% to JM$20.7 billion arising from decreases in fixed voice and
mobile revenues. RJR News relates that this was mitigated
somewhat by a 10% increase in broadband earnings.
At the same time, advertising and marketing activities, higher
employee costs, and increased property costs pushed up expenses by
6% to JM$10.4 billion, RJR News says.
The Board of Cable and Wireless says it will not recommend a
dividend for the year, RJR News discloses.

DIGICEL GROUP: Merger Deal With Claro Hits a Snag
-------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that planned deal between Digicel Group Limited
and Claro has hit a snag.
The snag comes just weeks before the merger is expected to get
regulatory approval, according to RJR News.
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 23, 2011, RadioJamaica said that Digicel signed the
agreement with America Movil. The deal will also see Digicel
selling its business in El Salvador and Honduras to America Movil,
according to RadioJamaica. The RJR News related that
telecommunication company LIME Jamaica has asked the government,
the Office of Utilities Regulations, and the Fair Trading
Commission to assess the deal. LIME asserted that assessment
should be done before approval of the deal is given by the
relevant minister, the RJR News stated.
RJR News says that the deal was expected to be completed by the
end of June, but it now appears that time line may not hold as the
competition watchdog of El Salvador, the Superintendencia de
Competencia, has rejected the proposed merger.
RJR News, citing Superintendencia de Competencia, relates the
companies failed to submit the complete information related to the
merger process and so with that, the regulator said both firms
will have to restart the merger application process. This,
however, does not mean the merger will not materialize.
The regulator added that the application was required to be re-
submitted as one document and that has now been done, RJR News
notes.
Meanwhile, RJR News discloses, Phillip Paulwell, the Opposition
Spokesman on Telecommunications, says the latest developments will
have implications for the Jamaican operations of both Digicel and
Claro. RJR News relates that Mr. Paulwell expressed
disappointment that the government has yet to engage the
Opposition on the issue.

BANCO AHORRO: S&P Rates Global Scale Counterparty Credit 'B'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' global scale
counterparty credit ratings to Banco Ahorro Famsa, SA, Institucion
de Banca Multiple (BAF). "We also assigned our 'mxBBB-/mxA-3'
Mexican CaVal national scale ratings. The outlook is stable," S&P
stated.
"The ratings on BAF reflect its high concentration in credit cards
for Famsa stores, its short track record in the banking industry,
and its weak asset quality compared with the sector," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ricardo Grisi. "The high
integration between the bank and its group generates strategic,
growth, and risk management benefits for BAF. Additionally, BAF
has achieved adequate levels of funding, liquidity, and capital.
However, we believe that the bank faces the risk of a potential
aggressive growth strategy for the group at the expense of asset
quality at the bank, mainly because of high operating margins."
"We consider BAF to be a captive finance company of Grupo Famsa,
S.A.B. de C.V. (Grupo Famsa; B/Stable/--) because the bank's
business activities are mainly related to the group and most of
BAF's products are for Famsa stores, other subsidiaries'
customers, and suppliers. Although the close relationship
between the group's stores and the bank provides BAF with a
natural financing business and a customer base with credit
history, any potential business problems at the group might affect
the bank. Therefore, the ratings on Grupo Famsa limit the ratings
on BAF. The bank's main business line is focused on consumer loans
through an exclusive credit card, which represented 85% of its
total portfolio at the end of March 2011, and commercial loans,
which represented 14% at of March 2011. We don't expect BAF's
exposure to the group's businesses to decrease significantly," S&P
explained.
BAF's capitalization is adequate for its rating level. As of March
2011, the bank reported an adjusted total equity (ATE)-to-adjusted
assets ratio of 14%, which improved compared with 12.8% at the end
of 2010 because of net profits. "Additionally, the bank's
regulatory capital was 13.98% as of February 2011, which we
consider adequate, but it is less than the industry average of
16.91%. In our opinion, BAF has the necessary capital and
financial flexibility to maintain its daily operations. We expect
BAF's capital levels to gradually increase in 2011 because we
believe that it will begin to generate internal capital," S&P
noted.
Although the bank has a short track record, it has begun to
generate profits. At the end of March 2011, the bank reported net
income of MXN257 million with a return on assets (ROA) of 8.7%.
"However, we will not see the actual profitability levels of the
bank until another few quarters. We consider that good net
interest margin and the benefits from having in-store branches
will result in good profitability to support business growth," S&P
stated.
The outlook mirrors the outlook on Grupo Famsa. The ratings on the
bank will move in tandem with the ratings on the group as long as
the high integration between both persists.

About Vitro SAB
Headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:
VITROA; NYSE: VTO), through its two subsidiaries, Vitro Envases
Norteamerica, SA de C.V. and Vimexico, S.A. de C.V., is a global
glass producer, serving the construction and automotive glass
markets and glass containers needs of the food, beverage, wine,
liquor, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Vitro is the largest manufacturer of glass containers and flat
glass in Mexico, with consolidated net sales in 2009 of MXN23,991
million (US$1.837 billion).
Vitro defaulted on its debt in 2009, and sought to restructure
around US$1.5 billion in debt, including US$1.2 billion in notes.
Vitro launched an offer to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt
from bondholders. The tender offer would be consummated with a
bankruptcy filing in Mexico and Chapter 15 filing in the United
States. Vitro said noteholders would recover as much as 73% by
exchanging existing debt for cash, new debt or convertible bonds.
Concurso Mercantil & Chapter 15 Proceedings
Vitro SAB on Dec. 13, 2010, filed its voluntary petition for a
pre-packaged Concurso Plan in the Federal District Court for Civil
and Labor Matters for the State of Nuevo Leon, commencing its
voluntary concurso mercantil proceedings -- the Mexican equivalent
of a prepackaged Chapter 11 reorganization. Vitro SAB also
commenced parallel proceedings under Chapter 15 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16619) in Manhattan
on Dec. 13, 2010, to seek U.S. recognition and deference to its
bankruptcy proceedings in Mexico.
Early in January 2011, the Mexican Court dismissed the Concurso
Mercantil proceedings. The judge said Vitro couldn't push through
a plan to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt from bondholders
based on the vote of US$1.9 billion of intercompany debt when
third-party creditors were opposed. Vitro as a result dismissed
the first Chapter 15 petition following the ruling by the Mexican
court.
On April 12, 2011, an appellate court in Mexico reinstated the
reorganization. Accordingly, Vitro SAB on April 14 re-filed a
petition for recognition of its Mexican reorganization in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-11754).
In the present Chapter 15 case, the Debtor seeks to block any
creditor suits in the U.S. pending the reorganization in Mexico.
Chapter 11 Proceedings
A group of noteholders opposed the exchange -- namely Knighthead
Master Fund, L.P., Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc., Davidson
Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP, and Brookville Horizons
Fund, L.P. Together, they held US$75 million, or approximately 6%
of the outstanding bond debt. The Noteholder group commenced
involuntary bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code against Vitro Asset Corp. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case
No. 10-47470) and 15 other affiliates on Nov. 17, 2010.
Vitro engaged Susman Godfrey, L.L.P. as U.S. special litigation
counsel to analyze the potential rights that Vitro may exercise in
the United States against the ad hoc group of dissident
bondholders and its advisors.
A larger group of noteholders, known as the Ad Hoc Group of Vitro
Noteholders -- comprised of holders, or investment advisors to
holders, which represent approximately US$650 million of the
Senior Notes due 2012, 2013 and 2017 issued by Vitro -- was not
among the Chapter 11 petitioners, although the group has expressed
concerns over the exchange offer. The group says the exchange
offer exposes Noteholders who consent to potential adverse
consequences that have not been disclosed by Vitro. The group is
represented by John Cunningham, Esq., and Richard Kebrdle, Esq. at
White & Case LLP.
The U.S. affiliates subject to the involuntary petitions are Vitro
Chemicals, Fibers & Mining, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47472); Vitro America, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47473);
Troper Services, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47474); Super
Sky Products, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47475); Super Sky
International, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47476); VVP
Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47477); Amsilco
Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47478); B.B.O.
Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47479); Binswanger
Glass Company (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47480); Crisa
Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47481); VVP Finance
Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47482); VVP Auto Glass,
Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47483); V-MX Holdings, LLC
(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47484); and Vitro Packaging, LLC
(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47485).
A bankruptcy judge in Fort Worth, Texas, denied involuntary
Chapter 11 petitions filed against four U.S. subsidiaries. On
April 6, 2011, Vitro SAB agreed to put Vitro units -- Vitro
America LLC and three other U.S. subsidiaries -- that were subject
to the involuntary petitions into voluntary Chapter 11. The Texas
Court on April 21 denied involuntary petitions against the eight
U.S. subsidiaries that didn't consent to being in Chapter 11.
Kurtzman Carson Consultants is the claims and notice agent to
Vitro America, et al. Alvarez & Marsal North America LLC, is the
Debtors' operations and financial advisor.
The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
Chapter 11 cases of Vitro America, et al., has selected Sarah Link
Schultz, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in Dallas,
Texas, and Michael S. Stamer, Esq., Abid Qureshi, Esq., and Alexis
Freeman, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in New York,
as counsel.

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.
Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices
for actual trades are probably different. Our objective is to
share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds some position in the
issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
