    Well let's see what is exposed.

    It would be pretty easy to expose a fraudulent bankruptcy. After all you just have to show the company could continue operating based on it's earnings.

    In other words TMBOA shot off her mouth without consulting with her specialists. Not something unusual amongst politicians the world over I wouldn't think. TMBOA didn't personally admit the 180 but that's not unusual either.

    What is a little more unusual (worrying) is that she doesn't take questions at her press conferences. If she did, she (her team) would have done more homework in the first place in anticipation of questions and realised the anti-terrorism laws were not applicable.

    When you look at the countries around the world where heads of state refuse to take questions from the press you realise what a special kind of group Argentina is a member of.

    And when the U.S. SEC says “Get lost”? Or, even better, when it says that R R Donnelley is governed by U.S. law and is entitled to declare bankruptcy when it can no longer operate viably.

    “The judge will guarantee that the company keeps on working and the workers keep their jobs,” Vanoli said in an interview with a local radio station.”

    He went on to say that the rubber stamp was laready prepared for the Judge to use.

    Just a question: WTF is going to pay the wages of these lazy, troublemaking argie “workers” because Donnelly seem to have outflanked TMBOA?

    In real democracies there are clauses that protect nations from leaders who are no longer able to be effective in office. Cristina the Mad should be removed, along with her henchmen, for the good of the nation and the region. . . . Shades of 1938 and the rise of Hitler.

    Have you all noticed? Argentines always react to criticism with abusive language. An unfortunate representative percentage of them are delusionally arrogant, petty, back-stabbing, cowardly inveterate liars. But, what would one expect? Those who are (not all Argentines!) are descendants of the lowest class of Italian thugs . . . sly, conniving, self-centered and self-seeking preeners, whose feathers are made of the dreams of the hopelessly inferior. (BY THE WAY . . . The word “Argentinean” appears in no English dictionary and, as usual in low-class Buenos Aires society, was cavalierly stolen from another language, in this case German, and not from English; the adjective and noun in English is, ARGENTINE.)

    It's hilarious. Apparently he's unaware that reduction to ad hominem indicates he has no real argument regarding the thread topic. This site is a laugh a minute. ;)

    Why is it ok, for CFK to demand things from others, yet refuses to pay her debts..

    1 imoyaro (#) . . . point taken, but since everyone else, including me, has already made cogent arguments, it's reasonable, as in any court case to question the character of the accused. Argentines are now paying, and because they are stubborn non-learners, shall go on paying for the deserved reputation they have built over the last century and into this one: the fate of the romantically disillusioned clingers to a fiction of superiority.
