Austria "bad bank" bonds just got Lehmaned. Will need a bigger bad bank...









New EU rules to impose losses on bondholders come into play with Austrian bad bank









So, here's the thing. As HETA is state-owned legacy asset disposal vehicle, not lending bank, trading while insolvent is not a crime, yes?










And putting HETA into an insolvency procedure would completely negate the whole point of setting it up in the first place.
