FBI investigates possible links with Mexico drug gang
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/feb/22/allen-stanford-drugs-trade-mexico

The FBI is probing possible money laundering linked to Mexico's infamous narco-trafficking Gulf Cartel in its investigation of Texan billionaire Sir Allen Stanford, US law enforcement sources have told the Observer.

An FBI source close to the investigation would not give exact details but confirmed the agency was looking at links to international drug gangs as part of the huge investigation into Stanford's banking activities. Reports in the US have said Mexican authorities have detained one of Stanford's private planes as part of an investigation into possible links to the Gulf Cartel. It has been alleged cheques found inside the plane were linked to the cartel, which is one of the most violent criminal organisations in the world.

4. What I do know based on newspaper reports is that
the first people to arrive in Antigua for their money were Colombians.
