Danske's Botched Debt Sale Suddenly Became a Smart Strategy
Danske Bank A/S appeared to have botched the timing of a crucial debt sale last week. But now, Denmark’s biggest lender looks to have come out on top of the situation.
In the middle of last week, it was a very different picture. Three days into Danske’s roadshow, Hermitage Capital Management co-founder Bill Browder said he had more evidence against Danske, and a U.S. pension fund sued the bank. Danske had to delay its issuance until investors digested the information.
In the end, the bank was able to continue selling its debt, albeit at a slightly higher cost. Investors decided that Browder’s additional information – evidence alleging that Danske had lied to French investigators – wasn’t really that alarming, in the grand scheme of things. And the U.S. pension fund’s lawsuit is unlikely to lead to significant claims being paid out, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.

Will This Lawsuit Unravel The Extent To Which Qatar Owns And Manipulates US Media Figures?
From March through May of 2018, a tranche of emails purporting to belong to GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy began appearing in major national publications. To say that the purloined emails damaged Broidy’s reputation is sort of like saying the Dresden fire-bombing singed a few items. Because of the publication of the emails, Broidy, then Republican National Committee finance chairman with alleged close ties to President Trump, was forced to resign from the RNC and became a target of a federal investigation.
A complaint filed in federal court last Thursday names the alleged ringleader in the Qatari government’s orchestration of Broidy’s email account hack as Gregory Howard, vice president of Mercury Public Affairs and former Democratic Party apparatchik. Mercury Public Affairs has been in the news because of its links, which are purely coincidence, to a famous client of Fusion GPS.
According to the complaint, three guys, Nicolas Muzin, Joey Allaham, and Howard were paid millions of dollars by Qatar to improve the emirate’s image in America and to target Qatar’s critics, including US citizens. This part of the allegation is factual as Muzin and Allaham were registered agents of Qatar. Allaham, however, didn’t register as a foreign agent until after Broidy filed one of his lawsuits, so the Qatar relationship wasn’t overly transparent…not that anyone in the US media would have cared. That, as we’ll see, was a feature, not a bug.
