Paul Singer
sued
Paul Singer, through Elliott Management's subsidiary NML Capital Ltd., sued the Argentine Republic in U.S. courts for full repayment of defaulted sovereign bonds purchased at a steep discount. The high-profile legal battle, known as 'NML Capital v. Argentina,' spanned over a decade and culminated in a 2016 U.S. court ruling in favor of Elliott, securing a $2.4 billion judgment and payout for the fund. The case forced economic concessions from Argentina, set a precedent for sovereign debt litigation, and was widely criticized for highlighting 'vulture fund' tactics.
