The YPF trial is one of the most important cases in the country's history. Not only because of the amount: $16.100 billion is the largest judgment in the history of the Southern District Courts of New York, an exorbitant sum even by US court standards. But also because Argentina's flagship company is at stake. It is, at its core, an identity conflict, the result of a false epic between "sovereignty" and big business, a demonstration that irreverent political actions have serious consequences.
