    The U.S. exec branch can only file as a friend “amicus”, it's not in charge of legislative, but dumb people don't know that.

    The holdouts are also creditors, though Argentina refuses to accept that plain fact. They should be grateful that 93% of creditors agreed to accept less rather than bleat about the 7% that didn't. Pay up.

    so what.......??? Argentina want everyone to bow down and thank them for paying back the money that they owe?

    They have created an a big song and dance over something that they should have done anyway.

    Just shut up and pay the bill. This is getting so old now...............pay up.

    The Ladroprogresista regime is cornered at least with respect to Argentine sovereign bonds : they are going on with their wishful thinking but this time no free way out of the mess they have created.

    Unless a miracle happens in New York courts (plural!), the stay of Judge Griesa's PARI PASSU injunctions will be dissolved in a matter of months, may be (hopefully) weeks, and then they will have to choose and pay a toll:

    - new default on exchange bonds (that is: Lorenzino's declarations are lies);
    - pay up some holdouts (that is: Lorenzino's declarations are lies ... welcome lies in this case);
    - not complying with US court's PARI PASSU injunction (that is: Argentina's affidavit is a lie)

    and multiple choices are allowed ;-)

    Of course Argentine people is free to let insane robbers rule their country, ignoring their international obligations, all of them ... eventually experimenting the pleasures of living in a novel South American Zimbawe.

    Sadly it looks like that patriottic, reasonable Argentines have little chances to change for better their government in the near future.

    I learned a long time ago, whenever an RG politician bleats on and on about something it ends up being exactly the opposite of whatever they are trying to convince people to believe.
    Also if these people want some respect they should cut and wash their hair, try to wear suits that fit and clean shoes. Rgs are always a mess.

    Argentine government and honour is an oxymoron!

    Surely there would be the standard mandatory prepayment of principal and interest on an event of illegality in the bond docs (i.e . if it becomes illegal to meet your obligations under the documents you shall mandatorily pre-pay)...

    I know that the word is longer, but shall we rename “argies” as “wrigglies”?

    I see CFKC has been bleating on about Argentina being 'forced' into default by dark forces. Why doesn't she out-trick them by just paying up?

    Btw, the reason why the U.S.- gov- filed amicus is because this ruling is more in favor of individuals, not gov.
    The world 'community standard' is trending towards creased individual rights.

    I think this showdown will prove that Argentina is truly flat broke. Can't pay 10 million dollar and nod paying anyone off, just a bond to relase it. Can't fix her naval corvette in South Africa.....but boy, damn straight the botox flows through the trade routes!!

    #15 Wonder what gave her that idea. Oh maybe its the fact that these dark foces and their supporters like yankeeboy on here are gleeful about Argentina being forced by Griesa to default...

    Yes, and the sooner the better.

    Get rid of TMBOA and all the crooks with a new government, mend the fences with the real world and get back on another crest for the country.

    It will never get better with this bunch of crooks in power.
