Today's Highlighted Video Story: Stanford International Bank ("SIB") collapsed into insolvency on 15 April 2009. SIB’s case is that it was defrauded by its owner, Mr Stanford, via a Ponzi scheme. Through its liquidators, SIB made two claims against HSBC Bank plc, which had operated bank accounts for SIB until they were frozen in February 2009. The first claim was that HSBC negligently failed to spot signs that SIB was being run as a Ponzi scheme (the Quincecare claim). The second claim was that HSBC dishonestly assisted Mr Stanford’s breaches of fiduciary duty.
