Prosecutors allege Mr. Stanford bribed Mr. Hewlett, who was based in Antigua, with more than US$4.6 million from a secret Swiss bank account over a 10-year period to help him hide the massive fraud. Defense attorneys say the money was for payment of auditing services, according to Reuters. "Are these amounts (the US$4.6 million) extravagant . . . if you were auditing the bank?" Ali Fazel, one of Mr. Stanford's attorneys asked, Reuters notes. "In my view, they are not extravagant," Mr. Hollander said, the report relates. Reuters discloses that Mr. Hollander spent much of his time going over the bank's reports and explaining financial terms to jurors, sometimes in painstaking detail. Reuters says that this prompted federal prosecutor Gregg Costa to say during a jury break that the testimony was moving at a "glacial pace" and to suggest the defense team was delaying the trial -- in its fifth week -- so it could have more time to prepare for when Stanford takes the stand. Mr. Fazel replied that "assumes Stanford will testify," Reuters discloses. 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 United States 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, 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 pursued against him in June 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, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston). The civil case is SEC v. Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas). =========================== C A Y M A N I S L A N D S =========================== ABS ALTERNATIVE: Creditors' Proofs of Debt Due Feb. 29 ------------------------------------------------------ The creditors of ABS Alternative Fund (SPC) Ltd. are required to file their proofs of debt by Feb. 29, 2012, to be included in the company's dividend distribution.

The funding will support investments in the municipal transport company Metro Cali to expand Masivo Integrado de Occidente (MIO), a public transport system based on the use of buses in dedicated and preferential lanes. The Bank helped finance the program's initial stage with a loan for US$200 million approved in 2005. The program aims to continue improving the quality of service for MIO and extending access to 100% of the population. The improvements will help reduce travel times, traffic accidents, and traffic congestion. As part of the program, main corridors will be completed and paved, and MIO feeder corridors, stations, bridges, crossings, bike paths, and signage will be improved. In addition, 10 hectares of public space will be rehabilitated and pollution will be reduced, which will eliminate annual greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 270,000 tons of carbon dioxide. The program will be carried out by Colombia's Ministry of Transportation and Metro Cali. The loan is for 20 years with a grace period of three years and a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. Local counterpart funds for the program will total US$136 million. ================= V E N E Z U E L A ================= EMPRESAS POLAR: Barbados Plays Role in Nationalization Fight ------------------------------------------------------------ Caribbean360.com reports that a 1999 double taxation convention signed between Barbados and Venezuela has been drawn into play in a nationalization dispute between well-known Venezuelan food and beermaker Empresas Polar and the Venezuelan government. A Barbados-based holding company led by executives of Empresas Polar has filed an international arbitration claim against President Hugo Chavez's government over its nationalization of a fertilizer project, documents show, according to Caribbean360.com. The report notes that the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, the Barbados-based "Gambrinus, Corp" registered a claim against Venezuela on December 2 in relation to a "fertilizer enterprise." Caribbean360.com says that while the ICSID provided no further details, reports coming out of Venezuela are that the dispute was over fertilizer-maker Fertinitro, which Chavez nationalized in 2010, and in which Polar had a 10% stake. The report relates that under the convention signed between Barbados and Venezuela, there is provision for dispute resolution through arbitration, which is meant to protect companies against unfair treatment and to resolve disputes with governments without having to resort to litigation in local courts. The move may set a precedent for Venezuelan companies seeking access to international courts to settle disputes with the socialist government that otherwise would be litigated by local judges, who critics say are controlled by President Chavez, Caribbean360.com says. The case is highly delicate as Chavez has repeatedly threatened to nationalize Polar, Caribbean360.com notes. Empresas Polar's products range from beer to corn flour and reach nearly all of Venezuela's 29 million people. =============== X X X X X X X X =============== * BOND PRICING: For the Week February 20 to February 24, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer Coupon Maturity Currency Price ------ ------ -------- -------- ----- ARGENTINA --------- ARGENT- DIS 8.28 12/31/2033 USD 71.58 ARGENT- AR 1.18 12/31/2038 ARS 46.27 ARGENT- DIS 7.82 12/31/2033 EUR 55 ARGENT- DIS 7.82 12/31/2033 EUR 59.25 ARGENT- DIS 7.82 12/31/2033 EUR 56 ARGENT- DIS 4.33 12/31/2033 JPY 42 ARGENT- PAR 0.45 12/31/2038 JPY 15 ARGENT- PAR&GDP 0.45 12/31/2038 JPY 8 PROV BUENOS AIRE 9.625 4/18/2028 USD 71.28 CAYMAN ISLAND ------------- BANCO BPI (CI) 4.15 11/14/2035 EUR 42.13 BCP FINANCE BANK 5.01 3/31/2024 EUR 42.75 BCP FINANCE BANK 5.31 12/10/2023 EUR 44.75 BCP FINANCE CO 5.543 EUR 29 BCP FINANCE CO 4.239 EUR 29.67 BES FINANCE LTD 5.58 EUR 35.33 BES FINANCE LTD 4.5 EUR 44 CAM GLOBAL FIN 6.08 12/22/2030 EUR 60.25 CHINA FORESTRY 10.25 11/17/2015 USD 59.85 CHINA FORESTRY 10.25 11/17/2015 USD 58.13 CHINA HUIYUAN JU 4 4/29/2016 USD 74 CHINA MED TECH 4 8/15/2013 USD 19.88 CHINA SUNERGY 4.75 6/15/2013 USD 46 EFG ORA FUNDING 1.7 10/29/2014 EUR 49.3 ESFG INTERNATION 5.753 EUR 36.25 FANTASIA HOLDING 14 5/12/2015 USD 74.38 FANTASIA HOLDING 14 5/12/2015 USD 74.5 GREENTOWN CHINA 9 11/8/2013 USD 70.5 GREENTOWN CHINA 9 11/8/2013 USD 70.5 JINKOSOLAR HOLD 4 5/15/2016 USD 51.43 LDK SOLAR CO LTD 4.75 4/15/2013 USD 60 LDK SOLAR CO LTD 4.75 4/15/2013 USD 63.25 LDK SOLAR CO LTD 4.75 4/15/2013 USD 80 LDK SOLAR CO LTD 10 2/28/2014 CNY 66.05 LUPATECH FINANCE 9.875 USD 74 LUPATECH FINANCE 9.875 USD 72.25 MBPS FINANCE 11.25 11/15/2015 USD 73 MBPS FINANCE 11.25 11/15/2015 USD 73.88 POWERLONG RE HLD 13.75 9/16/2015 USD 74 POWERLONG RE HLD 13.75 9/16/2015 USD 74.18 PUBMASTER FIN 8.44 6/30/2025 GBP 58 PUBMASTER FIN 5.943 12/30/2024 GBP 67.92 PUNCH TAVERNS 4.767 6/30/2033 GBP 66.88 SOLARFUN POWER H 3.5 1/15/2018 USD 62.28 SOLARFUN POWER H 3.5 1/15/2018 USD 60 SPG LAND HOLDING 13.5 4/8/2016 USD 68 SUNTECH POWER 3 3/15/2013 USD 73 SUNTECH POWER 3 3/15/2013 USD 72.2 YUZHOU PROPERTIE 13.5 12/15/2015 USD 75.25 CHILE ----- AGUAS NUEVAS 3.4 5/15/2012 CLP 0.878 CGE DISTRIBUCION 3.25 12/1/2012 CLP 19.85 COLBUN SA 3.2 5/1/2013 CLP 74.33 ESVAL S.A. 3.8 7/15/2012 CLP 12.51 MASISA 4.25 10/15/2012 CLP 20.13 QUINENCO SA 3.5 7/21/2013 CLP 25.24 PANAMA ------ NEWLAND INT PROP 9.5 11/15/2014 USD 51 PUERTO RICO ----------- BANCO SANTANDER 6.1 6/1/2032 USD 63.72 BANCO SANTANDER 6.3 6/1/2032 USD 72.79 PUERTO RICO CONS 6 12/15/2034 USD 0.01 PUERTO RICO CONS 6.3 11/1/2033 USD 0.01 PUERTO RICO CONS 6.2 5/1/2017 USD 53 PUERTO RICO CONS 6.5 4/1/2016 USD 68.71 VENEZUELA --------- ELEC DE CARACAS 8.5 4/10/2018 USD 63.44 PETROLEOS DE VEN 5.5 4/12/2037 USD 51.92 PETROLEOS DE VEN 5.375 4/12/2027 USD 53.96 PETROLEOS DE VEN 5.25 4/12/2017 USD 71.61 PETROLEOS DE VEN 5.125 10/28/2016 USD 73.26 PETROLEOS DE VEN 9 11/17/2021 USD 74.58 VENEZUELA 7 3/31/2038 USD 63.61 VENEZUELA 7 3/31/2038 USD 63.36 VENEZUELA 6 12/9/2020 USD 67.5 VENEZUELA 7.65 4/21/2025 USD 68.75 VENEZUELA 8.25 10/13/2024 USD 74 *********** 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.
