US hedge fund files claim against Peru over defaulted bonds
– canadianbusiness.com
LIMA, Peru – A Connecticut hedge fund has filed a $1.6 billion claim against Peru in a decades-old dispute over bonds issued by the nation’s former dictator.
In the claim filed Thursday, Gramercy Funds Management accuses Peru of indirectly expropriating its investment in bonds in violation of a bilateral free trade agreement.
Peru in the 1980s began defaulting on bonds used to pay for military dictator Juan Velasco’s agrarian reform a decade earlier.
Gramercy said it and other investors were short-changed billions because of Peru’s failure to abide by a local court ruling and repay the defaulted debt accounting for inflation.
Peru’s government hasn’t commented. But in February it accused Gramercy of waging a media campaign against Peru and disavowing its repayment offer in a speculative bid to wrest money from the government.

New super PAC to help Trump, this time organized by a friend
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – A close friend of Donald Trump has helped start a super PAC to support him, potentially giving the presumptive Republican presidential nominee his first big-donor help for the general election.
Tom Barrack, a Los Angeles real estate investor, said in an interview with CNN on Thursday that the group has already received $32 million in financial commitments. The group is called Rebuilding America Now, according to documents filed Thursday with federal regulators.
Like other super PACs, the new group will be able to accept unlimited amounts of money from wealthy donors, but won’t be permitted to take directions from the candidate or his campaign.
There already are several super PACs backing Trump, but none is seen as having the blessing of his campaign. That potentially could cause confusion for donors who want to be convinced that they’re giving to a group that Trump himself sees as helpful to his cause.
Another complication: Trump has repeatedly condemned all super PACs as “corrupt…
