    I love how our judicial system is so relatively clean that even other countries use it. We're generous.

    This is probably turning out how Argentina wants, now they can default on all the debt and blame vulture funds and foreign courts who do not know the law.

    The problem that Argentina now faces is if they lose this case, as is expected, they will have to pay the vulture funds or default.

    Really it's that simple.

    Perhaps AG will stay payments on the bonds but it will be for all holders and that will be a technical default, but I suspect not.

    AG would be isolated completely if they defaulted, even a 'soft' technical default would prevent the banks from handling any AG money. Why do I say that? Who thinks that the American legal system is going to accept a slap across the face from AG, for that is what it would be?

    Being in contravention of this judgement is not where ANY financial institution wants to be, anywhere in the western world (plus those marvellous people of Ghana). It just gives them too many problems, not the least of which is the CEO having to go to the court and explain his actions.

    That is NEVER going to happen, even the thought of it will result in each and every CEO making damn sure any AG money his / her company or bank has stays where it is.

Your pensionist are to face the biggest robbery in man-kind when you tell them all the money you legally withheld is *poof* gone, and your youth is useless, spoiled and has no intentions to reproduce.

    “Why ?

    Argentina has more International Reserves than foreign debts.”

    Is it going to need them soon then?

    ---

    It wouldnt surprise me if Argentina said “sod the lot of you then!”, pay nothing and not care at all what any ratings agency shows.

    They've shown time & time again that they really dont care what the “outside world” and particularly bankers, think about them, or the doom mongerors about how their country will collapse.

    And a part of me says “Yay! You go Argentina! Kick the bankers where it hurts!”

    Of course the flip-side is they do default in some way and the economy DOES collapse, in which case an awful lot of people in Argentina will get hurt off the back of a CFK “vow” to avoid paying what is a legitimate (if morally bankrupt) demand of debt payment.

    - - - -

    And before anybody gets too high & mighty about “debts must be paid” just bear in mind that when a debt is so big it does NOT ahve to be paid, which is how Argentina got into this “mess” (perspective dependent) in the first place.

    I wish I (caps) could borrow so much money that I could never pay it back, and then be able to write-off the overwhelming majority of it, keeping everything I bought with the original bulk.

    Of course lowly “Individual citizens” are only ever allowed to borrow tiny amounts and those tied to their property so that the banks can call in the debts when they like and get fatter, richer and own even more of the world....

    SO when Argentina turns around and says “Well you were the silly sods who lent us the money in the first place”.... seriously, you have to laugh a little and give them a bit of support...just for sticking it up the bankers junta

    I assume you are talking about Argentina. Remember when the Peronist government stole all the pension money? The same Argentine government that uses the Central Bank reserves as if it is their own account?

    Argentina will have to pay one day. Tick tock, tick tock.

    I predict another default, causing riots in the streets, as this time it won't just be the international community they're defaulting on, but the people of Argentina.

    The way your beloved 'Dear Leader' is running the country, Guzz, I wouldn't be surprised to find Argentina being reduced to a similar state of Somalia, with armed gangs running the country, I mean, you're practically there aren't you?

    Guzz, China is failing due to corruption and an outdated political/economic model. I don't see it surviving the decade in its current form. They can barely feed their people and have the size of the whole population of the USA living in abject poverty. It won't last for long.

    Do you not realize the USA exports 1T a year? We still have the largest economy in the world and it will stay that way for longer than you will be alive. Our population and economy grow year in and year out. We innovate which is something most other countries can't or won't do.

    It was the hold out option to not get payed by Argentina when they refuse to participate in the restructuring of the old bonds. Tough luck and a little to late for wanting to take part. Maybe they will learn to become more accountable with the loans and be more conservative in their approach of giving tax payers money away to corrupt leaders, I am not buying the vultures cry. We all know too well how this debt was invented for mass consumption and it was explained to us by none other then the president of this institutions, Argentina should bring IMF into the courts and have the IMF show what we are being billed for, not the bills but the finished products IMF payed for, don't we want justice and accountability to come out of this?

    @12 Really? Thanks for that. So pay up. Thieves!
    @13 Quite simple really. Your “economic model” has already failed. Whatever our youth is like, we have an advantage. Unlike yours, our country isn't filled with bending, butt-screwing, cock-sucking, murdering, transexual paedophiles. And this is your “model” for reproduction? The argie “wave of the future”. Faggots. What are the statistics? 41 million population. 20.5 cross-gender, transsexual, paedophile faggots. But credit must be awarded where it is due. Guzz - top anal invader, top buggerer, top child molester, top cowardly ex-pat, top faggot, top misanthrope, top paedophile, top queer, top dipstick.
    @16 But our economy is so much BIGGER than yours. Try an example, dipstick: If your “economy” is worth 10 pesos and ours is worth 100 pesos, who's in the best position? YOU, teetering on the edge of starvation and total collapse? Or US, with an economy 30 times the size of yours, no history of default AND international trust.
    @18 Looking forward to watching you DIE. Have you returned to your cesspit? I want to know that you are in argieland. Dying with the rest of the cowardly, paedophile, thieving, transsexual, faggot, war criminal argies!
    @21 41,281,631 war criminals. Explain why war criminals shouldn't die!
    @23 Definitions from a child-molesting, paedo, transsexual, faggot?
    @24 You have a problem. An inability to comprehend. Try not to continue to avoid intelligence. Do what's right. After asking for the assistance of suitable countries, place your throat on the blade and shake your head. This is so easy. How could anybody reasonable and intelligent consider that they should not be executed for all their crimes? Rape, murder, genocide, unnatural sexual acts, theft. Who's in favour of executing all argies? Let's execute Guzzle first. Slowly. Genitals first. Then evisceration. Amputate feet. Amputate hands. Amputate legs. Amputate arms. And then... Chomp.

    For the fiends from beyond will profer blandishments such as this, for one to perform an action that will ultimately result in one's destruction, yet that this action will somehow be adulated by the foreign fiends.

    When the reality of this world is, they want you to do this action to seek your ruin, your bane, and your annihilation. They masquerade this as good, but they know it is the antithesis, but it is in fact this which they seek, which will exult them and give them mirth.

    As with most of these threads, the posts were only significant up until Yankee@20.

    The rest is trolls whinging, whining, and ranting.

    Best ignored, let them bay at the moon...

    The U.S. has sovereignty over matters within. If the Arg gov does not like the U.S. judicial system, then it can take the enormous sums it banks in N.Y., over which this ruling adjucates, and move that money to their own banking system.

    interesting analysis - but I have a feeling you forgot the part about investments in Argentina, e.g. YPF to get enough oil and natural gas next winter, capital goods for the industry, medicine for life threatening deseases, the risk of having exported goods seized (+payment for ditto), ...

    if you have a suggestion to how this could be done, I am sure the Argentine government happily would cheat you for 1 million dollars for your advice.

    No banker in the USA would risk handing over the money after judge Griesa's ruling - they would have to cough up with the money themselves, all $4,283.19 of them.

    #14....Very interesting Anbar. There we mere citizens do have “caps” that limit what we can borrow, we can (at least in the USA) go bankrupt and wash the bank aways. Nations cannot. Maybe it is time to view caps AND a banktuptcy for nations.

    We warn judge griesa that Argentina has more to gain than to lose if history can serve as the example. If anything the vulture will get what they payed for the result of a IMF and US scam.
    I think Argentina should demand 20.000.000.00 U$ service charge from Ghana courts representing the vultures arguing that moving a massive ship it a lot more dangerous and labour intensive then willingly purchasing troubled bonds, It all comes with the territory. Let's never forget that there is more then one way to skin a cat and where there is will there will be a way. Poor CFK having to face what Argentine corrupt men created decades ago, I don't care what anyone says this woman has ovaries the size of a bulls balls. Videla, galtiery, menem, duhalde, macri and every other Argentine man can't be trusted , Argentina's history can show us a lot regarding this matter. www.gregpalast.com/the-globalizer-who-came-in-from-the-cold/

    pirate humnter....tell me, if MNL did not purchase the bonds, would argentina be p[aying the original bond holders back, who GAVE ARGENTINA the money? Or would they be refusing to pay them also if they refused reducing the principal?

    Poppy , why bother? LOL

    You will only confuse Pirat Humper using logic.

    ALEX VARGAS doesn't use logic - how could he repeat his nonsense.

    If any Brits here read some derogatory statements written in another article to one self absorbed, mal adjusted angry Brit, my apologies to the rest of the Brits as I know they are not all asshole like that one. I do get tired of him insulting me for American policies as I am personally responsible for the ones he personally does not agree with.

    I know Troy, anyone is a vulture that kirchner has to pay back, what's more, he is not even an RG anymore.

    This greasy judge is poison, he must be highly reactionary or just corrupt, maybe even both!

    And you well informed opinion is based on what particular facts? The fact that he ruled based on NY law and not argentine law, which changes like New England weather. I do not expect an answer as you never answered why you have never (lol yeah sure) been to argentina.

    @80 I agree. Gov ideally would work better if reflexive principles were applied-what's good for a lerson is good for a nation-state too.
