The FBI found him and did NOT arrest him....hmmm....now how come when someone is caught taking a loaf of bread they are not just served with papers and not arrested.

The FBI says its agents have found Texan billionaire and prominent cricket supporter Allen Stanford in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area and served him with court papers accusing him of massive fraud.
FBI spokesman Richard Kolko says the bureau acted at the request of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and that Stanford - whose whereabouts had been unknown for the past few days - had not been arrested.
He says he does not know whether Stanford has surrendered his passport.
The SEC's complaint - accusing Stanford of an $8 billion ($12.5 billion) fraud - was served by agents from the FBI's office in Richmond, Virginia.
"The agents served Mr Stanford with court orders related to the SEC civil filing against the Stanford Financial Group," Mr Kolko said.
Stanford and three of his companies are charged with fraud in a civil complaint filed in Federal Court in Dallas, Texas.
Stanford and two other executives are accused of fraudulently selling high-yield certificates of deposit in a scheme that stretched around the world.
