Argentina's Milei picks Luis Caputo - author of 2018 Macrisis - to lead key Economy Ministry

3. Bazinga!

And yes - sadly he probably will.

You know - this is precisely what bankrupted Argentina in the first place.

The country was permanently derailed when, in 1980-82, $30 billion in capital flight was carried out by the country's (largely pseudo-fascist) elites - and financed with foreign debt by last dictatorship.

They hot-footed the dollars out of the country, leaving everyone else with the (unpayable) bill - which has only snowballed since.

Similar cycles took place in 2001 and, most notably, under Trump's pal Macri in 2016-19.

And that greasy little money launderer Caputo largely managed that last cycle.

Qué será.
