    Don't you LOVE this guy?

    No matter what TMBOA, Kickitoff and Bogbrush spout, he sees through the crap and gets on with what he knows is the correct decision under American Law, the law the argies knew they had to use to flog the bonds but now wish they hadn't!

    Oh the joy!

    All Argentine government assets in the U.S., other than diplomatic and military holdings, will be treated as commercial property, a judge said, opening the door for hedge fund NML Capital and other creditors to seek to seize it.

    There's a lot of difference between thumbing your nose at the government of the United State of America and thumbing your nose at a bunch of dirty latam peasants. It appears that rotting roadkill might be in the process of receiving their first substantive lesson on the road to learning this up close and personal.

    Argentina has a lot of property in the USA that is neither Military or Embassy assets.
    I can't wait until the US Marshal service evicts them.
    If there was enough lead time I'd go watch.

    Could it be they just won't price the Yuan at mkt value?
    Probably

    Hear, hear Griesa's cheerleader chorus celebrating what their small minds believe is a “defeat” for Argentine.
    It's clear they still haven't got a clue about what a country with a government determined to protect its citizens can do.
    Paul Singer and his friendly judge may win only if Argentina downgrades to a genuflect government like we had in the past--a territory where electors are not going.
    And meanwhile, the old scoundrel's time to get his “well deserved” compensation is getting shorter by the day.
    Three generations down the road will still cry about grandpa's failure to win the prize.

    15. Griesa is still smarter and more respected than anyone in Argentina.
    If he passes away he'll just be replaced with another judge.
    Maybe one that's even stricter with the law.
    Maybe one that will hold AxelK CFK and other minions personally in contempt.
    Maybe...

    So you think that if Singer croaked it would resolve the problem of TDC not paying what they owe?

    Stupid boy, it's his companies that are bring the suits and it is they who will receive the monies obtained therein. It is they who will disburse them to the persons who are named as beneficiaries in Singer's will on the instructions of the lawyers.

    TDC will still have to pay!

    News Flash:

    Singer has already cashed in and out by effectively shorting all things rotting roadkill and then driving thoses markets into a death spiral - once and now is doing it a second time.

    The bonds are now just for fun and profit. He's already inflicted several billion dollars $$$$US$$$ worth of pain on rotting roadkill and its citizenry. You'd best work out an accommodation before he buries you guys. lol.

    35 - although they do it, appeals court dont *like* to reverse judgements, its taken as something of a slight, stirs tensions when you correct a colleagues professional opinion. This has real world consequence.

    Of course, if that colleague leaves the scene, then there's no-one's ego to slight, no tensions or social repercussions. No aversion to reversing earlier rulings.

    And in a rare prediction, (as opposed to a box of bird-shot approach as used by a certain forum guest) Vestige has seen that Griesa shall be wheeled off set quite soon, (possibly with bandage still on head), giving rise to a couple more successful reversals, thus causing a nice long term legal cascade effect.

    You are totally wrong.

    The last issue of Argentine bonds was at an interest of 9 (nine) percent, slightly less than Greek sovereign bonds.
    Thus Argentina is paying 100 percent in interest every 8 years because the country is in default.

    At some point in the future the country hopefully is so lucky as to get a government which understands the cost of being chldish.
