This is outrageous and unethical. I've just read the Bloomberg article to which this item refers. If Codere were a US corporation, I'm confident this conduct would violate securities law (I'm not a lawyer). I support the credit default swap market, but this scandal is the greatest challenge to CDS legitimacy I've seen. I hope ISDA and European regulators take action! Sellers of Codere CDS protection should lead the charge.
