Does anyone seriously believe Greece would ever pay them back?

  Did you read TFA? The suggestion is to pay off part of the Greek debt in exchange for a sweetheart tax-deal with Greece, not to assume ownership of the Greek debt.

    Actually US companies surely would be able to negotiate an extra haircut off creditors as well.

    The point still stands. Does anyone seriously believe that Greece would honor such a tax deal long enough for these companies to recoup their investments?

    The problem in dealing with governments is that they have the legal authority to change the terms of an agreement on you at their whim. There is exactly nothing that would keep Greece from taking the money and then turning around and repealing any sweetheart deals if it were advantageous to do so.

    Is $200bn really worth saving 35% in taxes?
