Indeed, from reading that document, Ambassador Dario Item discovered that Credit Suisse had even warned FINMA that there was no contractual basis for executing the write-down of AT1 bonds.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Item finds it highly plausible that it was precisely the absence of a sound contractual basis that led the Swiss government to adopt new emergency legislation with retroactive effect (Art. 5a PLB-NVO). In other words, the adoption of new ad hoc rule would have been necessary to better defend FINMA&#8217;s willingness to write-down AT1s. This rule, which the AT1 bondholders claim is unconstitutional, is now being closely examined by the Swiss Federal Administrative Court.<\/p>\n<p>This important news published by Ambassador Dario Item was noticed and picked up by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/fbf3f385-1c4a-48fc-a7a0-d7ae998637dd\">Financial Times<\/a>, which, although incredulous that a scoop of such magnitude could have been published by a virtually unknown news website, confirmed the absolute authenticity of the documents and the huge importance of the news.<\/p>\n<p>Even, well-known Financial Times journalist <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BondHack\/status\/1660594007192240131\">Robert Smith<\/a> described the article published by Ambassador Item as &#8220;one of the most consequential European banking scoops of the year &#8230; whose significance somehow went largely unnoticed for the best part of a week&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Other major financial news outlets also immediately noticed and reported the news.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/finance\/credit-suisse-neared-its-cash-limits-days-before-rescue-filing-shows-2023-05-18\/\">Reuters<\/a> published a story on May 18, 2023 also confirming the scoop and the veracity of the documents and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finews.com\/news\/english-news\/57408-credit-suisse-liquidity-limits-snb\">Finews<\/a> did the same the following day.<\/p>\n<p>The increased interest of the international financial press in this incredible scoop finally led the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/94430e6b-711a-4307-9344-300835529c2b\">Financial Times<\/a> to even devote an entire story to Ambassador Item, published on May 24, 2023. The extremely bright and hilarious article concludes by stating that Ambassador Dario Item&#8217;s extraordinary personality &#8220;is certainly illustrative of the same can-do approach that led the international lawyer and diplomat to take matters into his own hands when the world&#8217;s financial press missed the real story on Credit Suisse.&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1762752334\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A truly incredible story that has been picked up by the world&#8217;s financial press and brought the Caribbean, and Antigua and Barbuda in particular, to the world&#8217;s attention has come to light in recent days.
