UPDATED: Crying for Argentina: Hedge Funds Initiate Litigation To Collect On Sovereign Debt

August 27, 2013 - On August 23, 2013, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision, which held that Argentina must pay a group of holdout bondholders 100% of monies owed to them.  As we outlined in June, the long-running litigation dates to Argentina’s 2001 default on $100 billion of sovereign debt.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it would decide on September 30th whether to review Argentina’s appeal of the Second Circuit’s decision.
