Bones of contention: disputed dino a 'frankensaurus' | Fox News

Bones of contention: disputed dino a 'frankensaurus' | Fox News: "This description is intended to thwart an attempt by the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan to take possession of the dinosaur and send it to Mongolia. Mongolian President Elbegdorj Tsakhia and paleontologists have maintained that the fossils were taken illegally from that country.

The attorneys making this "Frankenstein" argument represent the Florida fossil dealer Eric Prokopi, who imported and prepared the fossils before attempting to sell them at auction."

Mongolia Was Under Pressure Over Presidential Detention - Dispatch - WSJ

Mongolia Was Under Pressure Over Presidential Detention - Dispatch - WSJ: "Global focus on Mongoliafor once has had little to do with its landscape or sizzling economy. Instead, international attention reflected concern about treatment of the former president, Enkhbayar Nambar, who spent more than a week protesting his detention with a hunger strike. More fundamentally, the international focus was grounded in questions about whether Ulan Bator’s handling of the case might compromise Mongolia’s commitment to rule of law.

In his call to President Elbegdorj, the U.N. secretary general said he was “truly hesitant” to intervene but was nevertheless worried about Mr. Enkhbayar’s physical condition, according to a Mongolian government statement dated Monday that appears to be the transcript of the conversation."

BONDS: Funds lap up first taste of Mongolian sovereign debt | Ticker | IFRAsia

BONDS: Funds lap up first taste of Mongolian sovereign debt | Ticker | IFRAsia: "State-owned Development Bank of Mongolia drew orders totalling US$6.25bn ahead of last night’s US$580m debut bond, revealing the depth of demand for exposure to the frontier market.

DBM’s five-year Reg S bond attracted over 300 investors and priced at par to yield 5.75%, well inside the initial guidance of 6.00%–6.25%.

It is the first time investors have had the opportunity to book exposure to the Mongolian sovereign, following a series of false starts on sovereign bonds over the last decade. The bonds carry an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee from the Ministry of Finance on behalf of the Government of Mongolia.

With such an impressive oversubscription, the bonds quickly traded up to 101.20/101.50."
