Puerto Rico COFINA Sales Tax Revenue Bonds First Subordinate Series 2010C Investment Losses
Have you suffered losses investing in Puerto Rico COFINA Sales Tax Revenue Bonds First Subordinate Series 2010C? If so, the attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses by filing a FINRA Arbitration against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.
Puerto Rico COFINA Bonds or Puerto Rico Urgent Interest Fund Corporation Bonds, are attached to Puerto Rico’s sales tax. COFINA is a corporation that is owned and controlled by the Puerto Rican government. When it issues debt, the funds that will be used for repayment comes directly from sales tax revenue.
This is the main feature that distinguishes COFINA bonds from general obligations bonds. General obligation bonds or GO bonds are not tied to any specific funding mechanisms. Instead, those bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the Puerto Rican government as well as the island’s constitution.
Puerto Rico Files for Bankruptcy
Last month, Puerto Rico and its federal financial oversight board got hit with various lawsuits from COFINA bond holders, GO bondholders and bond insurer Ambac Assurance Corp.
This torrent of litigation led to the largest U.S. municipal bankruptcy proceeding to date with $70 billion debt load and $49 billion in pension liabilities. With a 45 percent poverty rate and near-insolvent public health and pension systems, islanders are leaving Puerto Rico and heading to mainland U.S. by the droves.
If successful, this lawsuit will cripple the value of Puerto Rico’s COFINA bonds. Already many of the bonds have suffered substantial losses.
