Good news for Argentina and its bondholders: vulture funds can now only hold bondholders' payments hostage in lawless (bribed?) Wall Street courts.

Argentina's been paying its bondholders religiously for 10 years; no one has a right to intercept their payments. Least of all vulture funds, many of which are Caribbean laundries that should have no access to U.S. courts - but plenty of access to U.S. jails.

They are also - no surprise - huge contributors to GOP slush funds.
