<p>Firms like Tilden Park Capital, Citigroup, Santander
Bank, and others are profiting from Puerto Rico’s
Hurricane María relief efforts as well as from austerity
measures, according to a new report by <a
href="http://hedgeclippers.org/" target="_blank"
rel="noopener">Hedge Clippers</a>, a coalition
described as “whistleblowers of the working class.”</p>
<p>The report titled, “Pain and Profit After Maria:
Companies Taking Puerto Rico by $torm,” states: “these
investors continue to be the main beneficiaries of
fiscal policies pushed by Puerto Rico’s Governor Ricardo
Rosselló and by the unelected federal Fiscal Control
Board.”</p>
<p>The companies listed in the report are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tilden Park Capital</li>
<li>Oaktree Capital Management</li>
<li>Autonomy Capital</li>
<li>Baupost Group</li>
<li>GoldenTree Asset Management</li>
<li>Paulson & Co.</li>
<li>TPG</li>
<li>Blackstone</li>
<li>Citigroup</li>
<li>Santander Bank</li>
<li>AECOM</li>
<li>Adjusters International</li>
</ul>
<p>Of these, two firms stand out: Tilden Park Capital and
Golden Tree Asset Management. According to the report,
both went on a “bond shopping spree” after Hurricane
María.</p>
<p>“Firms like Citi Group responsible in part for
originating the debt crisis are now advising the fiscal
control board on privatization efforts of PREPA [Puerto
Rico Electric Power Company],” the report states.</p>
<p>You can read the entire report, which was released
Tuesday, here:
