Greg Palast:Rubio's Billionaire wins ransom
Rubio's Billionaire wins ransom
from Argentina
Monday, February 29, 2016
(Greg Palast has investigated Paul "The Vulture" Singer for BBC TV and The Guardian for the last 9 years.)
Paul Singer, known as The Vulture, won a $4.65 billion payment from Argentina* nearly ONE HUNDRED TIMES his "investment" of $50 million in old Argentina bonds. It was, in finance speak, the most successful "vulture attack" ever.

Singers actions are outlawed in most of the civilized world. Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, attempted to stop Singers predatory act, but Singer did a brilliant end-run: he used his cash to help elect a new President in Argentina that would jump to his tune and pay him billions.
Now, hes attempting to do the same to the USA: pick a president for us who will feather his vulture's nest. Hes the number one donor sugar daddy for Marco Rubios candidacy (See, "Who Hatched Rubio" . Singer is also the big bankroller of Karl Rove, to make sure that, even if he cant sell Rubio to the GOP base, at least The Vulture can use "Turdblossom" Rove to ensure that Hillary wont become President and put him out the of vulture business.
Rubio, in fact, skirted some ethical lines in his attempts to pressure the State Department to side with his corpse-chewing donor against Argentina.
As Ive said, Singer directs his fellow billionaires investments in candidates. So, it is not surprising to see The Kochs lend their top political operative, Marc Short, to Singer's man, Rubio.
