    It's one thing having Singer chasing the money you owe (including the money you've stolen and laundered), it's another having the US law enforcement agencies chasing it. If Argentina are fined and do not pay, it won't be too long before some secret Kirchner US bank accounts get made public.

    I don't understand why Kirchner, Kicillof and Capitanitch think they can make the statements they have without being 'in contempt'. I suppose Kirchner could claim 'exemption' as head of state, but why? She should be the first criminal. Argieland IS in contempt. It has tried to use its special position as a 'state' to evade a court order. No honest state does that. Get on with it, Judge. US$53 million in the Bank of New York Mellon. Take US$50,000 every day. Three years.

    Methinks they are going to have a very hard time explaining why they should not be held in contempt.
    I hope he gives the escrow at BONY to Singer and fines them daily.

    She's in NY at the moment. Keep her there! We don't want her bank.
    Think of her as a “gift” from the Argentine people.

    Like yankeeboy, I also think Griesa should give the successful complainants the money presently in BoNY Mellon and fine The Dark Country U$D 50,000 per day.

    This would mean TDC would have to put adequate money with their lawyers to pay the fine because we all know TMBOA will NEVER settle the debt as long as she is president. Failure to pay would then put TDC into deeper contempt; the usual action for which would be to jail the miscreant.

    Who (personage) would be the miscreant in a sovereign country? TMBOA, CaptainDismal, Kickitoff, Gollum or who? I suspect Griesa would have to attach sovereign diplomatic assets to expunge the contempt: wouldn’t that be fun?

    I guess they disagree with you judgement Griesa .
    Similarly many people in the UK disagree with Barbier for legalising fraud against BP.

    As Griesa knows that any contempt fine would be ignored, he would be within his rights to garnishee the deposit in BONYM and continue to do so until it is depleted.

    Then Argentina's claim that they made the payment in good faith but were blocked would be proved false, because their refusal to comply with the law caused the deletion of the deposit.

    17. It would be nice if Griesa just gave Singer the total payment in escrow at BONY. I wonder why he hasn't done it yet.

    It sounds like the holdins are ready to accelerate too.

    Good news. The Wall St robber barons are now supporting CitiBank to start paying the Argieland dollar bonds. The dam is cracking. The euro bonds will be next. In more good news the yield on the already low euros has reduced. The corrupt yank judge has started backing down.

    Apparently grandma is the only one. As for the “robber baron judge”. What are you 5 years old? Please provide the link that the judge is corrupt becuase here in the USA.....while we are not void of corruption, we do investigate, arrest and prosecute crinimals where they be judges or everyday people, unlike your gubn totting motorcycle bandits. Human rights violations huh......for arresting an RG bandit?

    Here's how we handle corrupt judges:

    http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/fbi-agents-invented-defendant-catch-judge-25820814

    Now show us all your link demonstrating Griesa is corrupt for enforcing US law to which he has sworn to uphold WITHOUT regard to politics.......domestically OR internationally???????
