Just because CFK doesn't think she owes the debt doesn't make it so. The interest keeps piling up and ARG is getting squeezed tighter and tighter every day.
I head they laided of 1500 people in Mendoza as a direct consequence from the loss of import preferences. It is just the start.
Eventually they will have to settle up the Dart family can out wait CFK just you see.

Guzz nevermind them...those useful idiots don't even realize that those vulture funds are also US and UK's true enemy. That's one of the main problem why those countries are walking straight and fast towards hell.

BK the best part of this is that Argentina does not have to comply. But be assured and don't bet your socialist ass that the BoA will resist a court order.

Sorry but I don't think USA has jurisdiction over Argentine banks they have no say in Argentina, Argentina tryed to do the same with bridas oil and gas contracts in Afghanistan and US courts use the excuse that bridas had made deals in Afghanistan where US claimed had no jurisdiction even after being in control of the afghan government, I wonder how the shoe will look on the other foot.
