Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC Nos. 3:15-CV-401, 3:09-CV-298 ______________________________
Before Stewart, Dennis, and Southwick, Circuit Judges. Leslie H. Southwick, Circuit Judge: In 2009, Stanford International Bank was exposed as a Ponzi scheme and placed into receivership. Since then, the Receiver has been recovering Stanford’s assets and distributing them to victims of the scheme. To that end, the Receiver sued Gary Magness, a Stanford investor, to recover funds for the Receivership estate. The district court entered judgment against Magness. Magness now seeks to exercise setoff rights against that judgment. Because Magness did not timely raise those setoff rights, they have been forfeited. AFFIRMED. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND This case stems from the collapse of the Stanford International Bank (“SIB”), which has been the subject of several appeals before this court. 1 We summarize the facts as relevant to this appeal.
