paul singer : una depiratas
En el mismo momento que parte de la opo sugiere reconocer el pago a los buitres con iguales condiciones que a los que ingresaron originariamente al canje, recibimos este artículo del Diputado Nacional (MC) Eduardo Román Di Cola , que compartimos.
Paul Singer, dueño del fondo buitre que acosa a Argentina es un pirata no hay dudas. La propia prensa norteamericana lo trata de esa forma. Es más, los bonistas que aceptaron el canje propuesto por Argentina, dicen que son rehenes del propio Singer.
El diario “New York Post”en una nota del 10 de noviembre titula:
Hedgies held ‘hostage’ by pirate Singer
(Bonistas mantenidos rehenes por pirata Singer)"
En uno de sus párrafos la nota dice:
“Caught in the battle between hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer and Argentina, some hedge funds complain that they are being held hostage.”
Traducción: “… en la batalla entre el fondo del billonario Paul Singer y Argentina, algunos fondos se consideran rehenes…’’
“Bondholders who agreed to a 70 percent hit as part of Argentina’s debt restructuring are concerned they might not get paid all they are owed if Singer’s Elliott Management gets its way.”
“Bonistas que aceptaron la propuesta Argentina de reducción del 70% de su crédito podrían no cobrar si el fondo Elliott Management de Singer continúa en su camino”.
En otro párrafo el diario informa que esta situación fue planteada ayer al Juez Thomas Griesa por el Gramercy Funds Management, uno de los tenedores de bonos que aceptó la propuesta que Argentina hizo como consecuencia de la cesación de pagos.
“Gramercy Funds Management, one of the bondholders that agreed to accept 30 cents on the dollar when Argentina defaulted in 2001, said as much to Manhattan federal court Judge Thomas Griesa yesterday.”
“Nosotros estamos siendo rehenes” le dijo a Griesa el defensor del fondo Gramercy Sean O’Shea
Párrafo original“We’re the ones being held hostage,” Sean O’Shea, Gramercy’s attorney, told Griesa at a hearing.”

Caught in the battle between hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer and Argentina, some hedge funds complain that they are being held hostage.
Bondholders who agreed to a 70 percent hit as part of Argentina’s debt restructuring are concerned they might not get paid all they are owed if Singer’s Elliott Management gets its way.
Gramercy Funds Management, one of the bondholders that agreed to accept 30 cents on the dollar when Argentina defaulted in 2001, said as much to Manhattan federal court Judge Thomas Griesa yesterday.
“We’re the ones being held hostage,” Sean O’Shea, Gramercy’s attorney, told Griesa at a hearing.
Elliott had asked the judge to lift a stay that would require Argentina to pay up to $1.3 billion to Elliott in December, when Argentina makes payments to other bondholders.
At yesterday’s hearing, Griesa indicated the stay would remain in effect as long as the appeals process is under way.
The South American country’s bonds have tanked since an appeals court upheld Griesa’s ruling that Argentina would have to pay Elliott and other holdouts who didn’t agree to the debt restructuring each time it makes a payment to the bondholders who accepted the debt swap.
The exchange bondholders like Gramercy fear that if Argentina doesn’t pay Elliott — which President Cristina Kirchner has vowed never to do — they either won’t get paid or will get only a partial amount. That could lead to further litigation and a possible default by Argentina.
“All we want to do is get paid. We’ve already taken a severe haircut. How does it solve the problem by giving them 100 percent out of our hide?” said O’Shea, who is talking to 20 other institutional investors about intervening in the case.
Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee for the bondholders, which makes the payments, is also expected to intervene. If it doesn’t make the bond payments to investors like Gramercy, it could be sued.
