STANFORD INT'L: SFG Receiver Sues Firm's Ex-Employees for US$11MM
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Stanford Financial Group court-appointed receiver, Ralph Janvey,
has sued two ex-employees of Robert Allen Stanford's international
bank for US$11 million, United Press International reports.

According to the report, citing a complaint filed in U.S. District
Court in Dallas, Mr. Janvey said that the money, allegedly
funneled to Christopher Aitken and Stephen Thacker to hide it from
creditors, should be returned to investors who bought certificates
of deposit from the Stanford International Bank Limited.  The
report relates that the complaint alleges Mr. Aitken received
nearly US$8.7 million, and Mr. Thacker received nearly US$2.6
million -- both when they joined the firm last November.

The lawsuit, the report notes, said that Mr. Aitken and Mr.
Thacker, employed there for only three months, left "no indication
that they provided any meaningful services."

                About Stanford International Bank

Domiciled in Antigua, Stanford International Bank Limited --
http://www.stanfordinternationalbank.com/-- is a member of
Stanford Private Wealth Management, a global financial services
network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under management
or advisement.  Stanford Private Wealth Management serves more
than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.

On February 16, 2009, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order
appointing Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and records
of Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company,
Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or
control.  The February 16 order, as amended March 12, 2009,
directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control and
possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, charged
before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr. Stanford and
three of his companies for orchestrating a fraudulent, multi-
billion dollar investment scheme centering on an US$8 billion
Certificate of Deposit program.

A criminal case was pursued against him in June before the U.S.
District Court in Houston, Texas.  Mr. Stanford pleaded not guilty
to 21 charges of multi-billion dollar fraud, money-laundering and
obstruction of justice.  Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer,
as cited by Agence France-Presse News, said in a 57-page
indictment that Mr. Stanford could face up to 250 years in prison
if convicted on all charges.  Mr. Stanford surrendered to U.S.
authorities after a warrant was issued for his arrest on the
criminal charges.

The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342, U.S. District
Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston). The civil case is SEC
v. Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S. District
Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).


STANFORD INT'L: SEC's Watchdog to Revisit Handling Firm's Probes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jesse Westbrook at Bloomberg News reports that the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission’s internal watchdog is taking a fresh look
at agency investigations of the multi-billion Ponzi scheme
allegedly carried out by Robert Allen Stanford.

According to the report, SEC Inspector General H David Kotz said
he is conducting the review in response to a request from US
Senators Richard Shelby and David Vitter that he do a more
“comprehensive and complete investigation.”

“A failure to thoroughly investigate this matter would be
detrimental to the interests of the thousands of Stanford
victims,” Alabama’s Senator Shelby and Louisiana’s Senator Vitter
wrote in a letter, the report recalls.

In an interview with the news agency, Mr. Kotz said his office has
already begun the review.  The report relates that Mr. Kotz said
his examination triggers new scrutiny of the SEC’s investigative
prowess as it tries to restore confidence among investors and
lawmakers.

According to the report Senators Shelby and Vitter asked that Mr.
Kotz interview current and former SEC employees who investigated
Mr. Stanford, review e-mails that mentioned his business and
examine agency communications with brokerage regulators and other
government agencies.  The report relates that the lawmakers also
asked Mr. Kotz to assess whether anyone exerted pressure on the
SEC and whether the agency “made decisions regarding Mr. Stanford
that were not based on legitimate policy considerations.”

Bloomberg, citing Senator Shelby and Vitter's letter, notes that
Mr. Kotz’s findings will assist Congress as it considers
legislative reforms that will ensure regulators “more quickly
detect and shut down” Ponzi schemes.  “We fully cooperate with the
Inspector General in any of his investigations,” the report quoted
SEC spokesman Kevin Callahan as saying.  “He has independence with
respect to his choice of what to investigate,” Mr. Callahan added.

CALEDONIA CORPORATE: Liquidators Involved in Fee Battle
-------------------------------------------------------
Caledonia Corporate Management court-appointed receiver, Anthony
Kikivarakis, a partner of the Deloitte & Touche (Bahamas), alleged
that he has become involved in "a long, drawn-out battle" over his
fee that resulted in him and his attorneys taking an 11% and
20.83% cut respectively, after Emerick Knowles, attorney and
partner with Alexiou, Knowles & Co, who is representing several
Caledonia clients, objected to the payments being claimed, Neil
Hatnell at Tribune Business reports.

The Tribune relates that Mr. Kikivarakis' third report to the
Supreme Court detailed how Caledonia clients, and the committee
representing their interests, objected to the payment of some
BS$43,000, shared between three attorneys, to cover their
appearance costs in hearings to determine Mr. Kikivarakis's fees,
and those of his attorneys.  The Tribune notes that the BS$43,000
came out of the Caledonia Clients Security Account, into which all
the Bahamian broker/dealer's clients had been required by the
Supreme Court to pay a sum equivalent to 2% of their assets to
cover the liquidator's costs.

According to the Tribune, Mr. Kikivarakis' report noted how he
sought leave from the Supreme Court to pay the fees and expenses
incurred by himself, his attorney, former PLP MP Alfred Sears, and
his agents between February 4-6, 2009.  The Tribune relates that
the fees had to be taxed and approved by the Supreme Court.

However, the Tribune notes, Mr. Knowles challenged "the notice
period and the taxation process".  The Tribune relates that  Mr.
Knowles also allegedly challenged the "format of invoices"
submitted by Mr. Kikivarakis and the liquidator's Canadian
attorneys, and requested time to review Mr. Sears' Bill of Costs.

The Tribune recalls that Mr. Kikivarakis said he finally appeared
before the Deputy Registrar three times but the meetings were
fruitless.

"The taxation was challenging to say the least and resulted in my
agents and I, and attorneys, spending a significant amount of time
and effort to have our fees and expenses approved for payment,
when such time could have been spent complying with the Supreme
Court orders to transfer 90 per cent of clients' assets to them,"
the report quoted Mr. Kikivarakis as saying.  "In my opinion, what
should have been a simple matter became a long, drawn-out battle,"
Mr. Kikivarakis added.

BHP BILLITON: Spence Mine Copper Producing at "Slower Rate"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nathan Gill at Bloomberg News reports that BHP Billiton Ltd said
copper that output at its 200,000-ton-a- year Spence mine in Chile
continues at a “slower rate” as a strike by workers entered a
fourth day on October 16.

Production was “the same as [October 15],” spokesman Mauro Valdes
responded by text message to questions from Bloomberg News.
Spence produced about 100 metric tons of refined copper yesterday,
compared with a normal average of 700 tons, Spence union president
Andres Ramirez told the news agency in a telephone interview.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
October 16, 2009, Bloomberg News said that BHP Billiton halted
mining at its Spence copper unit in northern Chile after a strike
entered its second day.  BHP is still producing refined copper at
the mine using existing ore stockpiles, London-based spokesman
Ruban Yogarajah said told the news agency in a telephone
interview.  According to the report, citing union spokesman
Francisco Aravena, said that workers at Spence on October 12
unanimously rejected a wage proposal that was less than what
miners received at BHP’s Escondida mine.

                        About BHP Billiton

http://www.bhpbilliton.com/-- is a diversified natural resources

will reduce the number of staff at its Melbourne headquarters by
about 40% as it moves some roles nearer to mining operations.

JAMAICA PUBLIC SERVICE: May Net JM$5BB From New Rates in 1st Year
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Camilo Thame at the Jamaica Observer reports that Jamaica Public
Service Company's new energy rates will increase its revenue by
38% 2008 levels while securing JM$4.9 billion return on investment
(RIO) for the firm.  The report relates that the Office of
Utilities Regulation, however, has restricted JPSCO to spending
JM$1.1 billion of the return on its loss reduction program.

According to the report, the company had hoped to increase its
non-fuel revenue by as much as 60% in an effort to secure JM$6.9
billion ROI for the first full year of operating through adjusted
rates as high as 97% above the previous rates.  The report relates
that in the company's tariff review submission, JPSCO claimed that
it required JM$37.3 billion in non-fuel revenues for 2009, which
would enable it to secure the desired ROI, but the OUR in its
determination decided that the firm would need only $32.9 billion
to achieve a lower ROI of JM$4.9 billion.  Thus, the report says,
OUR gave JPSCO permission to set energy rates as much as 29%
higher, with big commercial customers feeling the brunt of the
increase.

JPSCO, the report notes, could still attain the substantial
returns despite the lower rate because the regulator decided that
JPS would have significantly less expenses.

The Observer points out that if JPSCO's efficiency levels stay the
same next June, the utility company will have to absorb
approximately 2.3% of the fuel cost.  Otherwise, the report
relates, improving it could lead to better profits and ensure that
JPSCO retains as much of the JM$4.9 billion returns it could get.

                           About JPSCO

Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica -- https://www.jpsco.com --
Jamaica Public Service Company Limited is an integrated electric
utility company and the sole distributor of electricity in

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
March 9, 2009, Radio Jamaica said JPSCO may shutdown its
operations if the company fails to settle a long-standing dispute
over outstanding payments to employees.  The same report said
employees unions contended the payments are owed for overtime work
and redundancy adjustments from 2001 to 2007, which amounts to
about JM$600 million.


KES DEV'T: Liquidator Quits; JMB May Cash on in Owner's Assets
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ken Tomlinson, the court-appointed receiver for K.E.S. Development
Company, Ltd., quit his post effective October 6, as he fears that
his firm, Business Recovery Services Limited, would find itself
too exposed the company's billion-dollar debts, Jamaica Gleaner
reports.  The report relates that Business Recovery Services is
already facing at least two lawsuits, including one from one of
Jamaica's most powerful companies, bent on recovering debt owed by
KES.

According to the report, Hugh Scott, the founder and executive
chairman of KES Development said that he is in the process of
finding another liquidator through discussions "with other
people."  However, the report relates that Mr. Scott also noted
that it was likely that creditors, of which there are at least 35,
could, through the courts, appoint a liquidator to wind up the
company.

Jamaica Gleaner notes that Jamaica Mortgage Bank, one of two
secured creditors, said while it could exercise the debenture that
it holds, it was considering another strategy -- going after the
personal holdings of Mr. Scott and his wife Elsa.  "In terms of
the company, we don't think there is value there," JMB General
Manager Patrick Thelwell told Wednesday Business, the report
relates.  "We also have a personal guarantee and that is what we
are looking at right now. . . .  We have looked at the company, we
don't see anything there and we are looking at the persons to see
if we need to move on the personal guarantee," the report quoted
Mr. Thelwell as saying.

Mr. Thelwell, the report relates, said that as debenture holder,
JMB could have opted to put the company in receivership, but it
did not want to take on the responsibility such a move implied.
"If you put the company in receivership, you basically take over
the responsibility for the operation of the company and you are
responsible to everybody," the report quoted Mr. Thelwell as
saying.  "It would not be beneficial to us," Mr. Thelwell added.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
August 21, 2009, The Jamaica Glenaer said KES Development Limited
went into voluntary liquidation with more than JM$1 billion in
liabilities.  According to the report, the company, which was
founded by husband-and-wife team Hugh and Elesa Scott, is indebted
to an estimated 40-50 creditors -- with Capital and Credit
Merchant Bank said to be holding a debenture over some of the debt
and CCMB and Jamaica Mortgage Bank together are owed JM$5 million.
The report recalled that Mr. and Mrs. Scotts was advised to placed
their business in liquidation last December after its cash had
virtually dried up with its projects unfinished.  The Scotts, in
their 14 years of business, have done developments in the capital
and around the country, the report said.  The Gleaner related that
one of KES's projects was confiscated by its bankers and placed in
the market in March; while the partially done, and overgrown
construction at Old Stony Hill Road, St Andrew, has been idle for
several years, and is on the market for JM$124 million.

* JAMAICA: Renewed Hope For Local Mining Sector
-----------------------------------------------
Recent positive signs in the international aluminum market have
led to renewed hope in the local mining sector that recovery in
the horizon, RadioJamaica report.

According to the report, a higher than expected increase in profit
at aluminium giant Alcoa combined with increased production in the
Asian market are some of the factors being cited as signs that the
local bauxite/alumina sector could soon rebound.

"And you have to understand that there are other markets that are
even more bullish than Alcoa's main market, the Chinese market and
the Far East market and those regions so we are very, very
bullish.  We had meetings with people from the bauxite sector with
the ministry and we are going forward and we believe that we will
make it out; we will get some of these factories restarted," the
report quoted Mining Minister James Robertson as saying.

* VENEZUELA: Hilton Hotel Owners "Were Cheeky", Chavez Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Agence France-Presse reports that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
has said he seized Hilton hotel on Margarita Island because its
owners dared to impose conditions on its use by his government to
host a summit there in September.

The report relates that President Chavez said, "To hold the
conference we had to ask for permission . . . and the owners tried
to impose conditions on the revolutionary government.  No way."

"So I said, 'Let's expropriate it.' And now it's been
expropriated," President Chavez added.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
October 15, 2009, Dow Jones Newswires said that President Hugo
Chavez has ordered the nationalization of Hilton resort on the
Caribbean island of Margarita.  The report related that the resort
is owned by local firms facing troubles with the government's
financial oversight body.  According to the report, the resort,
which is managed by Hilton Worldwide, has 280 rooms and 154 time-
share suites, according to the presidential decree ordering the
takeover.  Dow Jones Newswires noted that Karla Visconti, a
spokeswoman for Hilton Worldwide, said the company "is evaluating
how the Venezuelan government's action affects its interest in
this hotel."  Hilton manages the hotel on Margarita, but doesn't
own it, Ms. Visconti added.

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication.  Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades.  Prices for actual trades are probably different.  Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities.  Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
