It is disgusting how he is treating Argentina. I was a bond holder and took the exchange deal 94% of the investors did. The 6% that held out should not be profiting because they were 'smarter' than the others using the courts system to get paid more.

Un Juez siempre tiene que juzgar conforme a derecho y la actitud patotera demostrada por su formación política lo hace completamente antijurídico rayano con lo amoral. Sinceramente le deseo la peor de las pesadillas. A su pesar, la américa latina, la verdadera AMÉRICA, sale a flote a pesar de las actitudes piratas.

Judge Thomas Griesa not consider countries as sovereign entities, but as businesses, subject to banckruptcy and seizure. The disfunctionality of the international financial system, expressed with special clarity in recent argentinean crisis (caused by a ruling from a single federal judge), only confirms the imperious necesity of a deep reform and democratization of credit institutions at a world scale.
