TPM:
Billionaire Texas banker Allen Stanford is considering hiring Dick DeGuerin -- the heavy-hitting Texas defense lawyer who has represented a string of big-name clients, including former House Speaker Tom DeLay -- to defend him on charges that he orchestrated an $8 billion Ponzi scheme, reports BusinessWeek.
The magazine sources that news to "a person familiar with the securities fraud investigation" into Stanford, and adds:
A secretary for DeGuerin says the attorney had been contacted about representing Stanford, but declined to comment further.
