Argentina again requests stay ruling from Judge Griesa to pay restructured bondholders
Argentina asked U.S. judge Thomas Griesa on Monday to put on hold an order requiring it to pay bondholders who did not participate in debt restructurings following the country's 2002 default, while it seeks a “global resolution.” Read full article

PAY UP Argentina.
It does not matter what the American judge says. We have taken the trustees to court. They will pay up or else.

We shall see shortly how long the arm of the NY courts are..
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and maybe the 4th time asking for the stay will be the charm :)
I kinda doubt it.
@2. Good for you. Argieland says it has discharged its responsibility when it deposited not enough money with the Bank of New York Mellon. The Bank of New York Mellon cannot disburse any monies without Judge Griesa's agreement. It can't even transfer monies to European subsidiaries. Are you expecting the European subsidiaries to pay out of their own money? Want to make a bet on how long your legal action will take? The first thing that will happen is that the European subsidiaries will point out that the trustee is the Bank of New York Mellon in New York. European courts will contact Judge Griesa. Judge Griesa will explain the relevant law. European courts will agree that the subsidiaries are not responsible. They cannot pay bondholders until New York dispenses funds. New York cannot dispense funds until argieland complies with Judge Griesa's order. My best guess is that judges are something of a “club” as well. Let's wait and see whether a European judge will try to overrule an American appeal judge. Incidentally, what's the “or else”? Love to hear about that. Amazing how many people argieland has screwed up, isn't it? When do you think granny might get some money? 2020?

Jul 22nd, 2014 - 01:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I, too, don't understand why payment of a judgment or compromise thereof is an offer that would trigger RUFO. The total amount of claims of the NML/Elliot plaintiffs is about 1.4B. The total amount of the claims of the remaining holdouts not in the current case is about 13 B. Why not just pay a healthy % of that 1.4B voluntarily and after 12/31 pattern a settlement with the non-plaintiff holdouts for a similar % (minus attny fees) to get paid over time via bonds or otherwise. Arg can afford that.
Assuming it settles the approx. 15 B in holdout claims for, say, 10B, the calculation of the overall haircut it unilaterally imposed upon its creditors (e.g. the 92% who took the swap plus the holdouts) still represents a serious write down of its debt.
Griesa rejected the stay (for the 3rd and final time) and (again) ordered 24hr negotiations until a settlement is reached.

Bahahahaha
I hope everyone in Buenos Aires likes sitting in the cold and dark!
exactly how much does Argentina owe....
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 06:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Pathetic pandering! You cannot and must try to manoeuvre the law to your advantage as you do in Argentina.
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 07:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you read the reviews from 5+ years ago it makes interesting reading - ie before the Argentine trolls went beserk.

I'd say Argentina is screwed unless he falls off his perch in the next week.

Jul 22nd, 2014 - 08:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Then the court will seize the money from BNY. You Americans do not rule us.
Who in their wildest dreams thought Griesa would row back on his judgement, ably supported by SCOTUS (who agreed with him)?
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 08:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Clearly only TMBOA and their lawyers who want to keep being paid (strictly up front) for stating the bleeding obvious, knowing full well the retarded bitch will ignore them.
They STILL haven’t understood that outside The Dark Country and especially in the US, etc., the justice system WORKS and they have LOST.

Jul 22nd, 2014 - 08:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“You Americans do not rule us.”
Oh, that's funny - when you use your “Hepatia” identity, you tell us you are American, living in the USA.
Clearly, you are NOT.
@12
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 08:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, the US doesn't rule Arg. Unfortunately, Arg has no effective leadership, neither the US or its own elected government.
I live part time in BA and I have Porteno family. I don't want to see them , much less me, sitting in the cold and dark, but the arrogance of the Arg now seems as pronounced as it is often portrayed to be.
You lost Kicillof, CFK, Capitanich, Timmerman, et al. No phony invocation of patriotism can change the result nor can an attack on the US (a US that filed briefs supporting Arg's position ) justice system, no matter how vociferous and illogical such media attacks may be. Arg residents are going to pay the price for the mindboggling obstinacy of the Arg government.
Like us Americans, you Argentine's are living with your choices. Though I prefer to think our outlook is brighter.
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 09:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't want to see my extended family in the dark or cold as well. But the cancer is deep and malignant in Argentina.

Jul 22nd, 2014 - 10:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No brighter outlook.
Already world know children America today, first generation American person poorer than last per capita.
Now, revelation find out, this children generation toay, first generation American person live less year than last.
http://phys.org/news/2011-01-obesity-children-life-short.html
So less year live, with less money, with more gun shoot kills.
American life no good, get worse. Firrst time ever.
I think the only thing that can save Argentina is complete collapse. In the past they've always have had someone to bail them out, UK, USA, IMF or a combination of them all.
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 10:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now they have no one.
Argentina's trade is negligible, they are no longer needed to keep SA stable and they have burned all their bridges.
Even China will only loan them Yuan to buy Chinese goods.
They need to completely crash so they can learn from their mistakes.
Problem is, this may not be the collapse that does it.
I think #17 is a new la campora hatchling

Jul 22nd, 2014 - 10:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Things are going to get really bad really fast.
The Ks still don't understand how the courts work in the USA and that they lost.
They may be able to pull this out at the last minute but I doubt it.
I think they want to default so they can pay for fuel.
They're going to really surprised when they can't buy any.

Unfortunately, he has decided to honour “the Saviours of Argentina” with his ridiculous mimicry.
I'm sure they monitor these sites, they are big on economic and industrial espionage, especially when they are about to spring a trap ... er I mean... ...close a deal with a new mark ... Uh .. prospect.
I'm sure the very well educated Chinese will find Nostril's stereotype Pidgin Engrish very offensive.
Things will get bad, and the Chinese will scoop up things at bargain prices, bargain wages, too.
First it was Venezuela, now very dependent on China for investment money and market for their goods.
Next, it will be Argentina - desperate to make a deal now they've spurned the USA and EU.
Soon, maybe Brazil and Bolivia?
What happens when they are all dependent on the same market, for the same goods??
China is then in the catbird seat - “let's see some competitive pricing, boys...”
Profits go down... Wages down... “ oh, but the interest rates on your loans? Nope sorry, still the same. Maybe you want to lock in all your oil and gas futures to us? We could work out a deal... ”
Looks bad for Nostrils and Pablo Campora, and all the little Juvenil Kamporas.
Too bad FI didn't go for the daily Aerolineas Argentina deal.
Mount Pleasant Airport would be a good collecting spot for seized aircraft for handover to Singer.
I think Bolivia or Ecuador with be number three. China realizes they are standing outside of the bankruptcy court asking if anyone needs credit as long as they get what they want......food, oil and mining.
Jul 23rd, 2014 - 09:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil will not take long to fall in place. These elections will be interesting. Since Dilma took over the circus.......it's been nothing but decline and now they are projected for expand under 1% ......for a developing nation? She is running neck to neck at 34% with her opponent.
They think China is their savior. It reminds me of an old episode of Twilight Zone......“To Serve Man”.
Ha ha, I know the one.
