    Hmm, the Argentine President connect to someone who is laundering the Argentine people's money out of Argentina!

    I'm surprised...not wait...this is just predictable behaviour from this Argentine President and her cronies.

    Argentina, which has so much potential, which could be one of the major players in the world. Who could be so rich that it should have an extremely bright future. A country with so many natural resources that they should have oil and gas exploration companies begging to be allowed to drill there...and yet they have none of this, due to massive corruption and most importantly, their inability to stick to a deal or agreement, or even follow their own laws.

    So Argentina will remain the 'never was' country, wallowing in it's own self pity, wrapping itself in it's own 'victim' mentality, and standing by whilst generation of politician rapes the place over and over and over.

    1 Lep : This disgusting old hag puts even Robert Mugabe in the shade when it comes to corruption .
    A popular Argentine investigative journalist called Lanata exposed the meteoric rise of Mr Baez from lowly bank teller to multimillionaire confidant and money launderer of the Kirchners last year .
    I am glad ATFA have caught up with him , because this scale of money laundering in the US carries the most severe penalties .

    I love the argument they are using, this is stolen money, if it is stolen it belongs to the Gov't then it really belongs to the holdouts.
    Brilliant
    If it works in the USA they can use it worldwide.

    You have to be a moron not to know that she is a crook, but the Argentinian constitution do not have a mechanism to dispose of corrupt leaders like her Paraguay does have a mechanism to dispose of corrupt leaders and that is why Paraguay was suspended from the Bolivarian junta

    I thought that Maximus Prattus, seen in the picture with his mother, was the “Head of the family trusts”?

    You don't think he is thieving as well, do you?

    HA, HA, HA.

    If they are willing to drive through Nebraska to get the money, I say they probably have earned it the hardest way possible.

    No argie trolls on this one, too frightened of “miss-speaking” like dear Hilary over being under “sniper fire”.

    Yes, the end is nigh!

    “Argentinian constitution do not have a mechanism to dispose of corrupt leaders”

    Of course not.

    They couldn't afford to install all those swing doors in Casa Rosada.

    @7 Actually the Argentine constitution DOES have a mechanism to get rid of corrupt leaders... but you need 2/3rds of Congress, so it's worthless. With just the votes from the feudos you get enough Peronists to protect ANY Peronist Prez. Not to mention votes from government employees and their buddies at the trade unions preventing any non-Peronist to rule, not that the opposition is trying anyways...
