Vuonna 1993 alkunsa saanut oikeustaistelu johti viime jouluna Orivedellä outoon tilanteeseen: Rikoksen uhri menetti kotitilansa pakkohuutokaupassa, jonka alullepanijana oli alkuperäinen velallinen.

Jokseenkin erikoista, ettei pankki itse alkanut velkomaan saataviaan takaisin. Kenties olisi tunkion tonkimisen paikka. Suuren maailman mittakaavassa moraalikysymyksissä tulee tuosta melkein mieleen haaska/korppikotkarahastojen toiminta:

.. Britain is being urged to help close down a legal loophole that lets financiers known as "vulture funds" use courts in Jersey to claim hundreds of millions of pounds from the world's poorest countries. The call came from international poverty campaigners as one of the vulture funds was poised to be awarded a $100m (£62m) debt payout against the Democratic Republic of the Congo after taking action in the Jersey courts.

"The government could close this loophole tomorrow if it wanted to and stop tax havens becoming the 'go-to' destinations for vulture speculators. These people seek to profit by forcing the world's poorest countries to pay them millions," said Max Lawson, head of policy at Oxfam.

Vulture funds legally buy up worthless debt when countries are at war or suffering from a natural disaster and defaulting on their sovereign debt. Once the country has begun to stabilise, vulture funds cash in their cheap debt deeds, at massively inflated cost to the countries. In the case before the Jersey court, to be decided next month, FG Hemisphere, run by vulture financier Peter Grossman, is trying to collect $100m from the DRC on a debt that appeared to start out at just $3.3m. The original debt was owed to the former Yugoslav government to build power lines. ..
