LA Hore, Pakistan - (Ponzi Scam Banker Mess): Was disgraced 20/20 Cricket-sponsoring bank fraudster Sir Allen Stanford behind today's machine gun attack on the Sri Lanka cricket team?

"That's gotta be the most absurd conspiracy theory since 'Pentagon's General Jones blames UFOs on Mumbai masssacre'," an FBI source chuckled today, frantically googling for links between today's outrage and the Antiguan Ponzi-scam banker probe.

Stanford, 69, is believed to have lost his multi-billion dollar cocaine fortune by lavishing vast largesse on gullible sports nutters, like the England Cricket Board, in his risible 20/20 Cricket binge-out.

Interpol sources said today Stanford is 'absolutely livid as hell' since being charged by the US Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17.

He faces multiple counts of fraud and US securities violations in what has been described as a whopping great big ongoing fraud involving $8 billion in certificates of deposits.

Ian Botham is 105.
