"The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Dallas, alleges that the law firm and Sjoblom participated in a massive investment fraud scheme that led to the intervention by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the appointment of a receiver for the investment firm.

The class action, Troice v. Proskauer Rose, claims that the law firm and Sjoblom aided and abetted Stanford Financial's alleged fraud and that it conspired with Stanford Financial. It claims that under Texas law Proskauer Rose is liable for the $7 billion in total fraud losses. The filing of the class action follows a guilty plea by former Stanford Chief Financial Officer James Davis. In it, Davis appeared to implicate Stanford's outside attorney, Sjoblom, in a conspiracy to thwart an investigation by the SEC into Stanford's alleged fraud.

Sjoblom was assistant chief litigation counsel in the SEC's enforcement division prior to entering private practice.

Proskauer Rose issued a statement that said the lawsuit was "legally flawed and factually erroneous."

In February, the SEC charged Stanford Financial Group, led by Allen Stanford, with orchestrating a "massive ongoing fraud" that included selling some $8 billion in high-yield certificates of deposit.

Representing the plaintiffs are Edward C. Snyder and Jesse R. Castillo of Castillo Snyder in San Antonio."

Stanford Accused of a Long-Running Scheme
Feb. 2009

"

In her S.E.C. testimony, however, Mrs. Pendergest-Holt did not reveal these details, despite repeated questioning. Thomas V. Sjoblom, a lawyer with Proskauer Rose who represented the firm and who was present during Mrs. Pendergest-Holt’s testimony before the S.E.C., withdrew his counsel the day after her testimony. Two days later, Mr. Sjoblom, who had spent 20 years with the S.E.C. before entering private practice, disavowed all previous oral and written representations he had made to the S.E.C. on behalf of the firm.


Calls to Mr. Sjoblom’s offices were not returned. Mr. Stanford and Mr. Davis, who have not been criminally charged, could not be reached for comment."
