I see it as completely unsurprising, and would be equally unsurprised to hear of this in a capitalist country. Is organic non-growth-hormone corn-syrup-free food that is too expensive for the poor a socialist plot?

The value of a debt is nominal amount times probability of payment. If it could be settled for pennies, then it would be worth even less. This may or may not be a desirable outcome.
