| Subject: Hedge funder fumes as thieving Argentina threatens default Tue Jun 10, 2014 3:25 am | |
| A federal court judge has refused to rebuke Argentina over its apparent willingness to default.
A recently leaked memo showed that the South American country is considering defaulting on all of the debt it owes to bond holders-including Paul Singer's hedge fund firm Elliott Management-should the U.S. Supreme Court refuse to hear an appeal to a previous order to pay its financial commitments.
Lawyers for Elliott called the memo a "smoking gun," according to The New York Post, and asked judge Thomas Griesa to scold Argentina. But Griesa-the same jurist who has ordered Argentina to pay up-said the memo was a privileged document between Argentina and its lawyers at Cleary Gottlieb.
A spokesman for Elliott did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
