If the swap is voluntary than NO ONE is signing up for a 50% haircut... that's just stupid on it's. If the swap is involutary than it's a default by ANY measure... I mean if a 50% haircut isn't a credit event than soverign CDS are a joke and that market just evaporated overnight. What I don’t get is how the CDS don’t get triggered by a 50% haircut.

It's great and tells the world about the realities of Euro style dealing. I also like the outsourcing of the financing to China etc. The eurozone is broke, Wonderful. Didn't we see this in a Senate hearing, has the title Abacus or Timberwolf been hidden? I think Goldman Sachs should be able to package the whole thing and then sell CDS and short the eurozone as a whole, with the Chinese providing chump money? Where's John Faulson when you really need him? Wwho cares. It’s great and tells the world about the realities of Euro style dealing.

It seems completely plausible that this would be done in English TherealADMP:

How do we explain that? If it were the Germans, it would be in German and so on. I detect a fake. Other than the Irish, there are no native English speakers involved. How do we explain that?
