@smmarotta This is really not that. "Eugene Scalia" are the first two words here, and the entire story is about the man's own work. He is also the son of the late justice, as it says in the third paragraph.

All we've got from Burford so far is announcing there was a summary judgment order in the case. sec.gov/Archives/edgar…

The court didn't determine damages but seems to agree with a damages theory that plaintiffs (i.e. Burford) argued was worth about $8 billion-before interest.

Here's the 64-page order in $YPF case that dropped shortly before trading halted in @BurfordCapital aboutblaw.com/7km
