R. Allen Stanford’s defense experts were ordered to continue defending the former financier in a $7 billion investment fraud case by a U.S. appellate court that also agreed to pay their back wages, according to court filings. All of Stanford’s non-attorney experts quit last week after appellate judges controlling the former billionaire’s taxpayer- funded defense budget said they would limit and withhold the experts’ compensation until after conclusion of his trial, set to begin Jan. 23 in Houston federal court.
