The fund in question, Donegal International, is owned by an American and bought the debt valued at 30 million USD from Romania for 3 million USD. He has already won a judgement against Zambian assets in the UK in the British courts.

"Well done Mr. President. I'm with you all the way on this one. (Just don't get fucking used to it, OK?)
I think it necessary that I now go and medicated myself in some fashion.
