Bad omen for Argentina and Citibank in their appeal over bond payments
U.S. appeals court signaled its displeasure with Argentina on Thursday as Citigroup warned it faces “serious and imminent hazard” if it follows a judge's order not to process an upcoming interest payment due to bondholders. The hearing ended with not resolution but a pledge to decide on the matter 48 hours before the end of the month. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesWriggle, wriggle, wriggle. Poor Citigroup. Lose your argie licence or lose your U.S. licence. How many Citigroup employees are U.S. citizens? Best if they leave argieland. Might be best if Citigroup avoided doing any business with the argie 'government'. Ever. But what is Citigroup worried about? It's not their money. It's the customers' money. Hang on, it's a bank. Who's heard of a 'bank transfer'?

If Citigroup think it has problems just wait for BNY to run up against English law. I hope those bankers have packed their prison clothes.

The world needs to stop her pocket money...lol
Sep 19th, 2014 - 09:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Arg lost.
Sep 19th, 2014 - 10:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Citi's assets in Arg are a measly U$2B out of almost U$2T in total assets.
Not even a blip on their balance sheet.
Just a small quarterly write off
But a major blow to Argentina and if they do this to Citi it will make the other Int'l banks pull out.
Another woman whiner . If you want to be in a man's role, stop whining and WOMAN up.
Sep 19th, 2014 - 10:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0i know as Wells Fargo not to Citibank
Sep 19th, 2014 - 11:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0anyway , i can resolve it easily when i came there.
I never knew Annie Lennox was a lawyer.
Sep 19th, 2014 - 12:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe a run on Citibank next week as everyone pulls their $ out before they get shut down.
Sep 19th, 2014 - 12:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My prediction the blue will be at 15.85 by next Friday.
The judges are not going to go against Gresia, simple as that.
Citibank could just rename the payments “bondholder bonuses” and pay them out some other way. Problem solved.
I doubt they would risk being so blatant against Citi, my guess is they will audit them, harass them through regulations, slow pay through BCRA, until they are forced to leave.
Sep 19th, 2014 - 01:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why oh why are the the Rgs so apathetic?
It is baffling and sickening.
It is unlikely, that the U.S. Court of Appeals will Argentina give in, and the Citibank payment approves. If the U.S. Court of Appeals gave in, Argentina would be confirmed in its line of not-respecting the U.S court judgements.

Hey guys, this is a twofor!

What's not to like?
“I'm not sure why we're even listening to this,” said Circuit Judge Reena Raggi. “Your client is the person or entity holding the gun to Ms. Wagner's client's head.””
Sep 19th, 2014 - 06:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's what The Dark Country does best!
But it's usually their own feet they manage to shoot.
WTF are Citibank even bothering with these twats, just leave the damn place, it's more trouble than it's worth.
I foresee a fire sale of Citibanks Argentine branch to someone who doesn't give a shit about the US. Followed by a 10% chance of other international banks pulling out, 100% chance of them cutting any investment plans.
Sep 19th, 2014 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Citi groups case has been thrown out.
Sep 19th, 2014 - 08:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Citi bank Argentina is doomed now.

yankee boy hepia That will not happen in Europe. If BNY directors do not pay the nominees then they will go to gaol and stay there. English judges are not weak like Argie judges.
