And, you know, armed standoff in Africa.

So to get that IPO done, Argentina had to make a very specific promise as part of its IPO.
12:38
And the promise was that if it ever gave into those nationalizing impulses, it would tender for all of the shares that it had sold in the IPO.
12:49
It would take the company entirely private.
12:51
And so it made that unconditional promise.
12:53
There was even a table that sets out the way that you calculate the tender price.

So it was very clear.

The case was digged by, it appears, eight justices of the court, and you had this little spicy dissent from Justice Kavanaugh, but you kinda think none of this matters that much.
30:28
much.Well, I'm not sure that I think it doesn't matter, but I think that what you're hearing from Justice Kavanaugh is what I'll call the, the traditional opposition to class actions, and the, the opposition basically goes, as he framed it, a class action is a big scary thing because if it goes against you as a defendant, it could cost you a lot of money, and therefore there's always some pressure to settle instead of litigating things out.
