Pro golfer Vijay Singh has been on the periphery of the Allen Stanford prosecution for a while now. Back in 2009, I noted that even after Stanford was indicted on fraud charges in mid-2009, Singh continued to sport his "Stanford"-sponsored hat while playing on the PGA tour.

A few weeks later in June 2009, Singh was reportedly one of just three people who offered to sign for a portion of Allen Stanford's bail.  According to CNBC, Singh agreed to be responsible for $500,000 if Stanford fled, but he was not permitted to help with bail because he is not a citizen of the United States.

A year and a half later, Singh's name has again come up.  Yesterday, the court-appointed receiver in the Stanford case sued Singh's management company, IMG Worldwide Inc., seeking to recover $10.5 million in sponsorship fees and expenses paid out by Stanford's company to IMG. Bloomberg reports that the fees and expenses were paid to IMG to promote the Stanford International Pro-Am and Singh. The receiver, Ralph Janvey, argued in his complaint that because Stanford paid IMG with funds "taken from unwitting [Stanford] investors” as part of an alleged Ponzi scheme, IMG should not be permitted to keep the money.
