Here is the real reason for bailouts. They need the funds to stay high.

Those efforts have been complicated by the fact that major hedge funds, including those led by friends of Mr. Bessent, stand to benefit financially from an Argentina economic lifeline. Funds at investment firms including BlackRock, Fidelity and Pimco are heavily invested in Argentina, as are investors such as Stanley Druckenmiller and Robert Citrone, both of whom worked with Mr. Bessent when he was an investor for George Soros.

How much do you want to bet that they'll exploit the temporary boost to sell off their investments for more than they're worth, and then short the hell out of the whole thing?

When I read about this, all I think about is the Nazis fleeing to Argentina after WW2. Idk if this is related or not, but makes me wonder.

Do the math, they all died 20 years ago, at best.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

So you're saying there's some open real estate for Nazis to flee to...

They built villages. Their kids and grand kids maintain a few pale settlements to this day.

Its more investment bailouts but some of those probably have roots in Nazi gold or scuttled submarines and ties back to wall street
