Judge delays decision on Allen Stanford bail


    HOUSTON (Reuters) - Accused swindler Allen Stanford will spend Monday night in jail after a U.S. judge said he will not rule on the Texas financier's bail request until Tuesday afternoon at the earliest.

    Stanford faces criminal charges for a $7 billion Ponzi scheme involving certificates of deposit issued by his Antiguan bank.
