On 17th February 2009, US federal agents raided the banking offices of the Stanford International Bank. "Sir" Allen Stanford (the title was conferred on him by Antigua) was charged with operating a massive Ponzi scheme, second only in its extent to that of Bernie Madoff, and convicted three years later.
Stanford had sponsored a number of cricket events in the West Indies. So far as I can discover, none of the prize money was awarded, or returned if it had been awarded.
