Litigation arising from Allen Stanford investment fraud
Investors sued SEI in connection with the financial crimes committed by Allen Stanford. They alleged that SEI promoted or misrepresented Stanford-affiliated certificates of deposit as safe investments and did not perform sufficient due diligence. SEI denied the characterization of its role and said it provided back-office services to a Stanford affiliate. The supplied reference reports that the case was still ongoing in September 2015 and does not provide a final result.
