Preska is also the judge who in September issued the judgment that Burford is now trying to collect.\nBurford had sought to keep its filings secret, saying that news of its collection effort could impede efforts to resolve the issue. It would also attract attention in Argentina “because the motion calls into question the republic’s continued majority ownership and control over YPF,” Burford said in a court filing. Argentina opposed.\nPreska declined to seal the filings. Neither Burford nor the Argentine government responded to emails seeking comment. \n‘Long Road Ahead’\nEven if Preska orders that Argentina’s YPF shares be handed to Burford, it’s unclear how the litigation funding firm would enforce that decision. Argentina has in the past fought foreign judgments, but those disputes have also harmed the country’s ability to raise overseas capital. \nBurford is asking the judge to order Argentina to transfer its class D shares in YPF through a custodial account at Bank of New York Mellon. According to the filing, the shares are not covered by a US law that shields certain assets of foreign governments, and Argentina has used them to back debt securities sold to US investors.\nBut Burford acknowledged it has “a long road ahead” to collect the full judgment, “given Argentina’s many years of structuring its assets to avoid enforcement.” It said a court order requiring Argentina to hand over the shares could be the only way to force the nation to engage in negotiations over the judgment.\nA 51% stake in YPF is currently worth about $4 billion, roughly a quarter of the judgment.\n2012 Seizure\nThe case in which Burford is seeking to collect stems from the Argentine government’s seizure of YPF in 2012. Preska found that re-nationalization violated YPF by-laws requiring the company to make a tender offer to all shareholders. \nArgentina is appealing the ruling but failed to post security for the judgment during the appeal. That led Preska to rule in January that the judgment — the biggest ever ordered by the federal court in Manhattan - was subject to immediate collection, before the appeal is decided.\nBurford, which paid $16.6 million to acquire the interests of two groups that held YPF shares at the time, stands to make some $6.2 billion if the full judgment is paid.\nThe case is Argentine Republic v. Petersen Energia Inversora SAU, 23-7370, 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals (Manhattan).\n--With assistance from Manuela Tobias and Daniel Cancel.\n(Updates with detail from Burford motion.)\nMost Read from Bloomberg Businessweek\n\nHow a Massive Hack of Psychotherapy Records Revealed a Nation’s Secrets\nChina’s Bubble Tea Boom Creates a Half-Dozen Billionaires\nWhat Really Happens When You Trade In an iPhone at the Apple Store\nRents Are the Fed’s ‘Biggest Stumbling Block’ in Taming US Inflation\nThe Pentagon Wants to Give Defense Startups a Chance \n\n©2024 Bloomberg L.P.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2429290555"}
