Argentina in last minute effort argues possible ‘technical default’ before Judge Griesa

Nov 17th, 2012 - 11:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What a web has been weaved. I'll give Argentina credit for one thing, they know how to stitch up the financial institutions and play them at their own game.
Nov 18th, 2012 - 12:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Default part 2 coming up...
It looks like only Venezuala will be lending to Argentina in future no matter what the outcome. After all, if you have to chase Sovereign debt through the (many) courts...
Good luck to Argentina and Cristina, the vultures deserve nothing
Nov 18th, 2012 - 12:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0the longer this goes on the more damage argentina recieves through scared off warey investors and still inevitably have to pay off debt collectors, what a master stroke .
Nov 18th, 2012 - 01:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0!Crustina for president! yay...
there will be no need for another UK conflict while argentina is doing such a good job on itself, long term damage incoming!!!!
The investors deserve the return on their bonds.
Nov 18th, 2012 - 01:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting how CFKC arrogantly tells Argentines that they can pay but won't pay, whilst they plead poverty in the courts.
The way I read this, Argentina is deliberately seeking a way to default, so they can hold onto the funds they promised to pay.
Nov 18th, 2012 - 01:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0As Raven suggests, this is Default Part 2. They failed to pay the first bonds, entered into a restructuring and now they are attempting to default on these bonds.
In finance, there is such a thing as Hire Purchase. This means that the object you are buying is not yours, it belongs to the finance company until you make the final payment. In Britain, people would call this the “Buying on the Never, Never”, because the payments were so high (to take account of the risk) that most people never completed the final payment. So the goods would never belong to the hirer.
What Argentina has done is redefine “the Never, Never” to mean that they will always find an excuse to 'never, never' pay their bonds. In other words, if you lent them money, more fool you as you'll never see this money returned.
What it means for the rest of the world though, is that they cannot trust Argentina to pay debts, so they have to deny Argentina access to the financial system.
What this means for Argentina (in the long run) is that they would not be able to export or import goods that they need - except through third parties like Mercosur (by paying a hefty premium for this) and by being forced to pay up front - so that the Mercosur neighbour doesn't get stiffed with the bill.
More importantly, it means that they will find it increasingly difficult to buy oil, except from Venezuela. The problem with this though is that the type of crude in Venezuela needs to be mixed with the crudes from the Arabian Gulf and without access to that crude, Argentina will run dry.
So we can expect Argentina to default on the debts, refuse to pay them through Europe and then be denied access to the US financial system, followed by an import/export crisis and even more financial trouble at home. The riots will get louder and louder as more people realise the dictator needs to be hung.
@6 so what your saying is it would be an excellent time to stockpile all them shiny new pots and pans for export to argentina at a premium, to keep up with supply and demand. everybodys a winner except Crustina!
Nov 18th, 2012 - 01:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0@7 Yes, because they won't be able to import those new pots and pans once Argentina defaults on the debts.
Nov 18th, 2012 - 02:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Let's hope that this time, rather than just banging those pots and pans together to make a noise, they use them to bang CFK's head until it's flattened.
@5 & 6 good analysis.

@6...“Argentina is deliberately seeking a way to default, so they can hold onto the funds they promised to pay.”
Nov 18th, 2012 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting analysis and credible too, because it sounds very Argentine.
“The Court should not accept the false urgency plaintiffs are trying to create and allow the Republic and all potentially affected third parties to prosecute their appeal rights before any orders go into effect,” Argentina said in its brief.
Nov 18th, 2012 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Plaintiffs’ unprecedented demand for over one billion dollars from the fiscal reserves of a foreign state, with further demands to follow as more ‘me too’ plaintiffs pile in, had the immediate, intended effect on the market of sending it into disarray,” Argentina said in its brief. “Faced with losses already, third-party bondholders have asked the court to protect their interests.”
Lawyers' gobbledeegook. I haven't noticed any “false urgency”. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals referred the case back to the District Court for clarification. Griesa has already said that argieland's stated reserves are more than adequate. So what's the truth? Argieland doesn't have the reserves it declared? Or it just doesn't want to pay? When did the third-party bondholders ask for protection? They are already out 70%. But the original ruling says that argieland must pay all bondholders equally. So just a case of paying the “hold-outs” in proportion. Does anybody know how many bondholders argieland is paying with the US$3.3 billion?
Either they have U$40B in reserves or they don't
Nov 18th, 2012 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think I know the answer to that already

Other than that, it is yet another battle, in yet another war, on yet another front, that the administration of CFK is slowly but surely losing.
The financial costs alone of fighting these things must be considerable. Never mind the damage to the credibility of, and confidence in, the country.
Soon most of the money being invested in Argentina will be laundered drugs money, as legitimate investment goes elsewhere.

Nov 18th, 2012 - 06:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Timerman must be out looking for some more property to buy outside Argentina. his little bolt hole in Uruguay might be a bit too close when the house of cards comes crashing down.
CFK really has been throwing up a smokescreen. She says there are plenty of reserves in the bank, yet Venezuela recently paid $3billion to the IMF on Argentinas behalf. Why would Venezuela do that and why would CFK ALLOW them to do that? Fair enough, it could be argued that she likes spending other peoples money, but another country paying for Sovereign Debt that isnt theirs? for a country that claims to have $46billion in reserves?
Now she risks Argentina defaulting again by playing this game in the courts.
Is the real truth that Argentina are close to broke (genuinely) and they really can't afford the repayments? Has she been paying the 7% holdouts and when did that cease? and if so, why? She's had plenty of time since 2010 to bleat about ''vulture funds'', why has she started now?
Argentina is regarded as a Pariah State by some international money lenders and its bond yields are even eclipsing those of Greece. There is much speculation that the Banana Republic will default.

You just could not make this nonsense up.
@30 It is not surprising. It was Venezuela that funded Nestor's 'model'. Argentina did not pay off the money owed to the IMF, Chavez did by buying billions of dollars of Argentine bonds. It is well documented. It is also why CFKC speaks to Chavez on a daily basis and does whatever he tells her to do. Venezuela owns Argentina.

So answer me this, why should i confess to something that is not true, just because you think it is true? Exactly, You can't answer me that can you, because you think that just because you do it, that i and everyone else does too, which is flawed logic, because just because some other users to it, it doesn't mean i do it. Only evidence you have is circumstancial and based mainly on your own opinion that i (Teaboy2) and poster using the username Teaboy are one and the same when we are not. As anyone could have used the name Teaboy and am certainly not the only person in the world that goes by the name Teaboy2 , so a bet whoever it is that used the username Teaboy is not the only person to use that username on the internet either.

Nov 18th, 2012 - 11:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@30 good analysis.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 12:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0I agree that Argentina is very likely to be broke. They cannot declare this - because it would mean the end of the gravy train. Possibly even the end of their lives if they don't make it to the private jet on time!
So they are looking for a reasonable excuse to default on the debts. They've decided to use the hold outs. They use the term 'vultures' to identify them as the enemy to the Argentine people & claim that these funds are seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of ordinary Argentines.
Argentina suggests to the US courts that it would not be equitable to pay these people at the expense of those that did reach agreement to a restructure. They've also suggested (unsuccessfully) that if Argentina was forced to pay, that there would not be enough funds & a default would be the result. The problem is that this claim is not backed up by other statements which maintain that Argentina has $ billions of reserves.
It seems to me that the payments made by Chavez (indicated in @ 37 above) were a favour/bribe to CFK to enable Mercosur membership. Similarly, the suitcases stuffed with dollars were a personal bribe to CFK's family and her cronies.
I have no doubt that CFK's mafia have been bleeding the treasury dry, just as CFK stole the +$650 millions from Sante Fe province and placed it in her private bank accounts in Switzerland. If Argentina ever did have $36 billion in resources, they've long ago made their way to the land of chocolate & cuckoo clocks!
This would explain why the Argentine state is refusing to pay the small amount needed to release their flagship. $10 million is nothing in financial terms, in comparison to the gratitude that the people would have given for the return of their 'heroes' from Ghana.
Only $10 million would have set a precedent. It would have shown that CFK was prepared to deal with the 'vultures' contrary to her claims to the opposite.
Let's face it, Argentina is broke. They have no reserves = NO PAYMENT.
@41 What matters is, i do not take accusations about me lightly and will defend against such untrue accusations, which we all have the right to do, whether it be from a troll, a looney or a dislusioned person. End of the day people reading these comments that are not regulars here on the forum are not going to be able to easily judge whos whos here or whos the deluded one, so am not going to let them say what they want for people to then think am using mulitple usernames to troll, when in fact its LightThink etc. Same for any other form of accusations. I have been called a pedo on this site by some argentines and so have others been called pedo or other things!
Nov 19th, 2012 - 02:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0End of the day am not going to just take it, and as Guzz found out when he insulted the memory of those that gave their lives in war and peace this rememberance sunday, i will get them banned. So role on Tuesday as i doubt LightThink or any of his other usernames he uses will be bothering anyone after then.
@44 Fair play to you. I completely understand your point of view.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 02:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0Personally, I have had all kinds of accusations and insults thrown my way on this board. I take comfort in them being so far off the mark that no one I care about would ever think they were true.
I tend to live by the idea that if I respect a person and they criticise me, I will think carefully about their advice. If I don't respect a person or their opinion I ignore it.
@45 well i understand and respect that Elaine.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 03:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Though in my experience i can not ignore what people say about me, though that stems from a business point of view more than what is said online, unless am directly mentioned by name or actively involved in the dicussion like i am on these boards. Reason being is, if i ignore it and buisness contacts hear it, then it can do untold damage to my reputation or that of my businesses reputation, even the smallest of deterimental comments can cause potential damage, costing hundreds if not thousands of pounds.
The last untrue accusation was by a local girl that claimed i had made her pregnant, and in this town, gossip spreads like wild fire. But shes not the first, i have had a number of people making false accusation or false statements about me or my company, though mainly they have been driven by the thought they could get some money out of me, though instead they get a letter from my solicitor demanding the pay damages and a public apology posted on their facebook pages usually, as thats where all their firends whom thought they were telling the truth will see it and realise they were lying. The other option is for them to be taken to court for libel/slander.
Hell even other companies are just as bad, i have had a few try it on, one even said i was in breach of their trade mark, because my company name was the same as their trading name, yet they weren't even a company or even supplied the same products! So they ended up with egg on their faces when i told them if anyone was in breach of trade mark etc. It is them since they are not a limited company using a trading name that is the same as my limited companies name.
So yes i guess as a result i have grown to be defensive when untrue or false accusationas are made about me or my company etc. But it was out of a matter of necessity, because if i weren't defensive they'd be walking all over me and my company and exploiting the advantage they gained from it to the max.
@46 If someone had maligned one of my companies I would have gone in hard with lawyers.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 04:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now I work freelance I could care less and that is liberating. : )
As Eggers has signed to confirm Argentina will abide by the court ruling then I assume they will end up paying the holdouts in equal proportion to their payments to the rest.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0However I have a feeling that they only did that so that they can continue down their legal avenues (which would have stopped had they not) and that they will still refuse to obey the court if all appeals fail to find in their favour.

@48 There's two ways of thinking about it.
Nov 19th, 2012 - 12:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Either they don't have the money and any legal action is a delaying tactic designed to elicit a judgment which Argentina can then refuse to agree to...
Or
As they've made a statement that they will not pay the hold outs or 'vultures' and they do not want to lose face by being seen to go back on their word, they are willing to risk defaulting with all the horrible consequences if they are ordered to pay everyone equally.
It seems to me fairly obvious that they are playing for time. They've never paid the debts due to the United States, much to the annoyance of the President. CFK tried to get the US to back her Falklands claim at the recent conference, but Obama refused. He knows that he's dealing with a mad woman, off her medication.
I honestly believe that they do not have the funds to settle and even if the Judge allowed them to pay only the restructured bonds, then they would still find some excuse not to pay. This appeal is a time waster.
I'm embarrassed for ordinary Argentine's. Their politicos seem hell bent on making Argentina look stupid.

Nov 19th, 2012 - 10:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Four? I can only count three. Well I suppose if you give Dove the benefit of the doubt that he's not Think. That could make four I guess.
No one can argue that IMF was a scam since everyone dealing with them ended up loosing their own constitutional rights for worthless english papers, Argentines want to see what we are paying for, we want accountability from both IMF and our government only then we can move forward, I don't think being open and honest could ever be a problem unless there is too much crime to hide! Lol

Countries that have always had smooth sailing! (no full-on default):
Nov 20th, 2012 - 12:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0•Canada •U.S.A. •Belgium
•Finland •New Zealand •Norway •Singapore •Thailand •Malaysia •Mauritius •Switzerland •England.
U.S. STATES? DIFFERENT STORY!
•1841 Mississippi, in the “Deep South” STILL hasn't payed bonds.
•1865: Whole Deep South defaults in Civil War.
•1873 Mostly 'Red' states/Deep South) in the Long Depression http://mobile.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2009/05/07/long-depression-of-the-1800s-and-the-technology-it-seeded-offers-hope
•1933 Great Depression (Arkansas, Deep South region, defaults)
It's not your government piss holer, you're a Canadian. The only consitiutional rights lost would be any stupid leader that would sign them away. Argentina had choices.....borrow money, or not borrow money. One concept that is required for a society to be considered a country.........continuing concern, that all actions, treaties and deals made by previous administration will be honored by future administrations, without that, you may as well be Somalia. Of course, leadership wise, Argentina is near being there.
Nov 20th, 2012 - 12:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0If the IMF, WB and such is so bad, I do not see a vast amount of the 212 nations on the earth spewing vomit like Argentina. But then again, no one has mismanaged credit as bad as the RG's and defaulted to the level of the RG's. I guess when you can not get credit, the concept is evil.
There you go, PH. World Bank from 2012 on will publish ALL pending contracts online so CITIZENS of theit countries can REVIEW them. Be Argentina's watchdog! http://m.guardiannews.com/global-development/2012/oct/26/world-bank-contracts-online-transparency?cat=global-development&type=article
Nov 20th, 2012 - 12:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0@2 BK, can you, without your usual creepiness, explain in detail why they are vultures and why they deserve nothing? Based on your typical posts, I've always thought of you as a slow adult, and a perverted one at that, so I'm giving you a chance to articulate on this board.....1) What makes them “vultures”? 2) Why they deserve nothing?
Nov 20th, 2012 - 04:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is your chance to look like a smart guy and not a tool like you typically do. Can you do that BK?
OK, now I look like a tool. I meant @3, not @2.
Nov 20th, 2012 - 04:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good luck Jake, I've been asking for some time. Also, as an alledged Scotsman, I've been asking why he has never visited Argentina. He's actually an RG and quite possibly the bastard of bunoes aires.....nont other than Fatsimo the Fat Fucking Kirchner! With an Oedipus complex over mom.

Nov 20th, 2012 - 06:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#83 Now the bankers are not such a bad guy because the support, not so much as Argentina, but are against banks being told what to do. You do realize that in my country the USA, the Central Bank, The Federal Reserve, is not subject to the president or Congress and the just as the Judical system is an independent entity. Unless a reasonable argument is made that the ruling would cause chaos to every country in the world, nothing will change.

Nov 21st, 2012 - 12:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0very true.lol.
Nov 21st, 2012 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I do think that whatever happens of this particular case, there will be some action taken, be it international treaties or individual countries, but something will come of this in relation to sovereign debt, restructuring and debt relief. But it also must address limits on what can be given to a soverign nation in times of trouble. A draining man will grab anything near himself to stay afloat. Argentina was that drowning man. I think we need to realize the signals when it is time not to bail a country out of trouble. Let them go into a receivership for like 10 years.
Nov 21st, 2012 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Let them go into a receivership for like 10 years.”
Nov 21st, 2012 - 03:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I support your proposal.
The first receiverships in a couple of years will be the EU, UK, and USA. How do you say 'receivership' in Mandarin?
Absolutely titti boi. Hey I did miss it....when did they default on the chinese.....and how much does the USA owe the Chinese? as a % of outstanding debt? Argentina holds the “actually defaulted record”. When take talk of argentina, we talk of what actually hapened.......not future guesses.
Nov 21st, 2012 - 06:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well put it this way,
Nov 21st, 2012 - 07:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If CFK does not do something spectacular pretty soon,
Then fate will take a hand, and do it for her.
