When Griesa refused stop an $18.3 billion bond swap, he was portrayed on newspaper front page as a hero. “Griesa’s something of a celebrity in Argentine politics,” said analyst Federico Thomsen. “He’s a name any politician can mention to either say how scandalous the Kirchners are or to criticize the vulture funds” that are suing Argentina.
