LIAT LIMITED: Denies Rumors of Plans to Acquire REDjet
------------------------------------------------------
RJR News reports that rumors have surfaced that Leeward Islands
Air Transport, known as LIAT, is considering buying REDjet (Airone
Caribbean/Airone Ventures Limited), because LIAT has been unable
to secure delivery of aircraft for its planned fleet renewal until
2015.

LIAT has reportedly dismissed the rumor stating said there is no
truth to it, according to RJR News.

In 2008, the report recalls, LIAT took over many of the assets of
two rival airlines, Caribbean Star and Caribbean Sun, owned by
Allen Stanford.

RJR News notes that the deal included a transfer of the Caribbean
Star aircraft leases to LIAT.  Planes still bearing the former
competitors branding are part of LIAT's current fleet, RJR News
notes.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Jan. 3, 2012, Antigua Caribarena related that former Antigua
Aviation Minister Robin Yearwood wants to see a merger between
Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT) and the Trinidad and Tobago-
owned Caribbean Airlines Limited, as he believes this is the only
way the Antigua-based regional carrier can survive.  Mr.
Yearwood's call came against the background of media reports out
of Port of Spain that suggested CAL's management may be eyeing
expansion into the OECS territories, according to Antigua
Caribarena.

Headquartered in V. C. Bird International Airport in Saint George
Parish, Antigua, Leeward Islands Air Transport, known as LIAT,
operates high-frequency interisland scheduled services serving 22
destinations in the Caribbean.  The airline's main base is VC
Bird International Airport, Antigua and Barbuda, with bases at
Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados and Piarco
International Airport, Trinidad and Tobago.


STANFORD INT'L: Ex-CIO Pleads Guilty, Willing to Go to Prison
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Gleaner reports that Stanford Financial Group former Chief
Investment Officer Laura Pendergest-Holt has agreed to plead
guilty and serve three years in prison for her role in owner
Robert Allen Stanford's US$7 billion Ponzi scheme involving
Antigua-based Stanford International Bank Limited.

Ms. Pendergest-Holt will reportedly plead guilty to a single
charge of obstructing investigators, according to Jamaica Gleaner.
The report relates that Ms. Pendergest-Holt faces trial in
September on charges related to those resulting in Mr. Stanford's
June 14 sentence of 110 years in prison.

Jamaica Gleaner says that Ms. Pendergest-Holt is scheduled to
appear in Houston in a US Federal District Court to formally face
the charges, according to court records.

The report notes that Ms. Pendergest-Holt had told investors and
the firm's financial advisers that she oversaw a stable of
international money managers who were responsible for the bulk of
the SIB's assets, according to court documents.  Jamaica Gleaner
notes that testimony during Mr. Stanford's trial revealed that
Pendergest-Holt might have had authority over as little as 20% of
the bank's assets.

               About Stanford International Bank

Domiciled in Antigua, Stanford International Bank Limited --
http://www.stanfordinternationalbank.com/-- is a member of
Stanford Private Wealth Management, a global financial services
network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under
management or advisement.  Stanford Private Wealth Management
serves more than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.

On Feb. 16, 2009, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order
appointing Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and
records of Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group
Company, Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford,
James M. Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they
own or control.  The February 16 order, as amended March 12,
2009, directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control
and possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, charged
before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr. Stanford and
three of his companies for orchestrating a fraudulent, multi-
billion dollar investment scheme centering on an US$8 billion
Certificate of Deposit program.

A criminal case was pursued against him in June before the U.S.
District Court in Houston, Texas.  Mr. Stanford pleaded not
guilty to 21 charges of multi-billion dollar fraud, money-
laundering and obstruction of justice.  Assistant Attorney
General Lanny Breuer, as cited by Agence France-Presse News, said
in a 57-page indictment that Mr. Stanford could face up to 250
years in prison if convicted on all charges.  Mr. Stanford
surrendered to U.S. authorities after a warrant was issued for
his arrest on the criminal charges.

The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342, U.S. District
Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston). The civil case is
SEC v. Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S.
District Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

SUPERVIELLE CREDITOS: Moody's Rates ARS4.8MM Certificates 'Ca.ar'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service rated Supervielle Creditos 62, a
transaction that will be issued by Equity Trust S.A. - acting
solely in its capacity as Issuer and Trustee.

As of June 19, 2012, the securities for this transaction have not
yet been placed in the market. If any assumption or factor Moody's
considers when assigning the ratings change before closing, the
ratings may also change.

- ARS38,400,000 in Class A Fixed Rate Debt Securities of
   "Fideicomiso Financiero Supervielle Creditos 62", rated Aaa.ar
   (sf) (Argentine National Scale) and Ba3 (sf) (Global Scale,
   Local Currency)

- ARS67,200,000 in Class B Floating Rate Debt Securities of
   "Fideicomiso Financiero Supervielle Creditos 62", rated Aaa.ar
   (sf) (Argentine National Scale) and Ba3 (sf) (Global Scale,
   Local Currency)

- ARS9,600,000 in Class C Fixed Rate Debt Securities of
   "Fideicomiso Financiero Supervielle Creditos 62", rated Ba2.ar
   (sf) (Argentine National Scale) and Caa1 (sf) (Global Scale,
   Local Currency)

- ARS4,800,000 in Certificates of "Fideicomiso Financiero
   Supervielle Cr‚ditos 62", rated Ca.ar (sf) (Argentine National
   Scale) and Ca (sf) (Global Scale, Local Currency)

Ratings Rationale

The rated securities are payable from the cash flow coming from
the assets of the trust, which is an amortizing pool of
approximately 20,475 eligible personal loans denominated in
Argentine pesos, with a fixed interest rate, originated by Banco
Supervielle, in an aggregate amount of ARS120,000,730.09.

These personal loans are granted to pensioners that receive their
monthly pensions from ANSES (Argentina's National Governmental
Agency of Social Security - Administracion Nacional de la
Seguridad Social). The pool is also constituted by loans granted
to government employees of the Province of San Luis. Banco
Supervielle is the payment agent entity and automatically deducts
the monthly loan installment directly from the employee's paycheck
and pensioner's payment.

Overall credit enhancement is comprised of subordination: 68% for
the Class A Fixed Rate Debt Securities, 12% for the Floating Rate
Securities and 4% for the Class C Fixed Rate Securities. In
addition the transaction has various reserve funds and excess
spread.

Moody's considered the credit enhancement provided in this
transaction through the initial subordination levels for each
rated class, as well as the historical performance of
Supervielle's portfolio. In addition, Moody's considered factors
common to consumer loans securitizations such as delinquencies,
prepayments and losses; as well as specific factors related to the
Argentine market, such as the probability of an increase in losses
if there are changes in the macroeconomic scenario in Argentina.

These factors were incorporated in a cash flow model that takes
into account all the relevant features of the transaction's assets
and liabilities. Monte Carlosimulations were run, which determines
the expected loss for the rated securities.

Moody's considered factors common to consumer loans
securitizations such as delinquencies, prepayments and losses; as
well as specific factors related to the Argentine market. These
factors were incorporated in a cash flow model in order to
determine the expected loss for the rated securities. Finally,
Moody's also evaluated the back-up servicing arrangements in the
transaction.

In assigning the rating to this transaction, Moody's assumed a
triangular distribution for defaults on the main pool centered
around a most likely scenario of 10%, a minimum of 5% and a
maximum of 20%. Also, Moody's assumed a triangular distribution
for prepayments centered around a most likely scenario of 20%, a
minimum of 15% and a maximum of 35%. These assumptions are derived
from the historical performance to date of the Supervielle's
pools.

The model results showed 0.00% expected loss for Class A Fixed
Rate Debt Securities and Class B Floating Rate Debt Securities,
15,00% expected loss for Class C Fixed Rate Debt Securities and
62.32% for the Certificates.

Moody's ran several stress scenarios, including increases in the
default rate assumptions. If default rates were increased 6% from
the base case scenario for the pool (i.e., most likely scenario of
16%, a minimum of 11% and a maximum of 26%), the ratings of the
Classes A and Class B would remain the same. The ratings for Class
C Fixed Rate debt securities and Certificates would be likely
downgraded to C (sf) and C (sf) respectively.

Moody's also considered the risk that a disruption in the flow of
payments from ANSES or the Government of San Luis to pensioners
and employees respectively, could severely affect the performance
of the pool. Moody's believes that the ratings assigned are
consistent with this risk.

Finally, Moody's also evaluated the back-up servicing arrangements
in the transaction. If Banco Supervielle is removed as servicer,
Equity Trust S.A. will be appointed as the back-up servicer.

The main source of uncertainty for this transaction is the
regulatory and legal framework for the automatic deduction loans
in Argentina.

BANCO SANTANDER: Fitch Assigns Issuer Default Rating at 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a Local Currency Long-Term Issuer
Default Rating (IDR) of 'B+' to Banco Santander Rio (Santander
Rio).  The rating Outlook is Stable.  At the same time, Fitch has
affirmed the rest of Santander Rio's ratings.

Santander Rio's IDR is based on its Viability rating, which
reflects the bank's sound franchise in Argentina, its strong
profitability, its healthy asset quality ratios, ample liquidity
and improved capitalization.  The ratings also take into account
ownership by Spain's Banco Santander (Santander; rated 'BBB+;
Outlook Negative) by Fitch, which has vast experience and ample
expertise, as well as the potentially volatile environment in
Argentina.

Santander Rio's local currency IDR has a Stable Outlook,
reflecting its strong local franchise and track record of sound
performance.  The latter also means that Fitch views its Viability
rating as Stable in the medium term.  Downside risk to Santander
Rio's ratings could stem from a downgrade of the sovereign rating
or a significant decline in the bank's liquidity or asset quality,
which Fitch considers unlikely in the medium term.  Upside to
Santander Rio's ratings currently appears limited but could stem
from an upgrade of the sovereign ratings.

The Argentine economy has grown strongly since 2003.  This has
benefited the operating environment for banks, with deposits and
lending growing very strongly and steadily improving asset
quality.  While the economy is expected to slow down markedly in
2012, lending is expected to continue to grow, albeit at a much
slower pace than in the past two years.

Along with the benign operating environment, Santander Rio's
profitability has been very strong, mainly based on sound interest
and commission income, which have compensated for the increase in
administrative expenses due to the high inflation rate.  Fitch
expects Santander Rio's profitability to remain sound, based on
its solid revenue generation capacity, although it will probably
be under pressure from slower loan growth, rising inflation and
persistent market volatility.

Santander Rio's asset quality is sound. Non-performing loans were
only 0.85% of the total at March 31, 2012, and loan loss reserve
coverage was 179.91%.  Fitch expects Santander Rio's asset quality
ratios to remain healthy in line with the good outlook for the
economy in 2011 and as loan demand is expected to be strong.

Santander Rio's liquidity remains ample and its funding was
comprised primarily of retail deposits.  Its capital base is
adequate and has been supported by its rising profitability; at
March 31, 2012 Fitch Core Capital was a sound 15.05%.  Fitch
expects Santander Rio's capitalization to improve further in the
medium term as loan growth will decelerate and given the recent
restrictions imposed by the Central Bank on dividend payments.

Santander Rio is 99.3% owned by Santander. It is a universal bank,
offering a wide range of financial services through its 318
branches.  It was Argentina's largest private sector bank by loans
and deposits at Feb. 28, 2012.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings for Santander Rio:

  -- Long-term National Rating at 'AA+'(arg); Stable Outlook;
  -- Short-term National Rating at 'A1+(arg)';
  -- Viability Rating at 'b+';
  -- Support Rating at '5';
  -- National long-term rating on senior unsecured notes at
     'AA+'(arg ); Stable Outlook.

BANCO DE RESERVA: Fitch Affirms' B' IDRs; Outlook Positive
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'B' IDRs of Banco de Reservas de la
Republica Dominicana, Banco de Servicios Multiples' (BANRESERVAS).
The Rating Outlook is Positive for BANRESERVAS' long-term IDRs.
The ratings affirmation reflects the support provided by
BANRESERVAS' shareholder, the Dominican government.  However, the
Dominican Republic's sub-investment grade rating limits the
probability of support.

BANRESERVAS' Viability Rating balances its ample market share,
stable deposit base, and adequate liquidity with its weak
profitability and asset quality metrics relative to both domestic
and similarly rated international peers (emerging market
commercial banks with a Viability Rating of 'b-', 'b' or 'b+').
Furthermore, BANRESERVAS' still high (albeit declining) public
sector exposure on its balance sheet (3.9x equity at year-end
2011) also weighs on its Viability Rating.

Changes in the IDRs are contingent upon sovereign rating actions.
An unexpected deterioration in asset quality or profitability that
pressures the bank's capital ratios could prompt Fitch to
downgrade BANRESERVAS' Viability Rating.  Prospects for an upgrade
to BANRESERVAS' Viability Rating are limited in the medium-term
given important asset and liability concentrations and the bank's
comparatively weaker financial performance.

BANRESERVAS' higher funding cost and lower yield on its loan
portfolio result in a weak net interest margins (NIM) relative to
other private domestic banks.  Increased operating costs and
provisioning expenses led to a decline in the bank's return on
average assets ratio (ROAA) to 1.4% at YE11 from 1.7% at year-end
2010 (YE'10).  This figure is well below the market average and
banks with a similar market share in the region.

Weak private sector asset quality, a heavy operating cost
structure, and a narrower margin will continue to pressure the
bank's profitability over the medium-term.

Private sector loan growth and charge-offs in this portfolio
contributed to a decline in BANRESERVAS' impaired private sector
loans/gross private sector loans ratio to 5.4% at YE'11 from 6.3%
at YE'10.  However, this level remains high relative to both
domestic and international peers.  Reserve coverage of total
impaired loans continues to compare unfavorably with peer medians,
as it declined to 96.0% at YE11 and to 71.1% at end-March 2012.

BANRESERVAS' capital ratios strengthened in 2011, with the bank's
Fitch Core Capital ratio reaching 18.2% at year-end 2011 (11.8% if
public sector loans and private sector loans guaranteed by the
government are weighted at 100%).  This ratio remained relatively
stable in early 2012, reaching 18.1% at end-March.  Nevertheless,
Fitch views the bank's capitalization levels as tight relative to
domestic and international peers given its large public sector
exposure and weaker reserve coverage of problem assets.

As of March 31, 2012, BANRESERVAS was the largest bank out of 15
commercial and multiple service banks, with 30.2% of total system
assets.  The bank is the government's main paying agent and also
has an important share of consumer and corporate markets.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings:

  -- Foreign currency IDR at 'B'; Outlook Positive;
  -- Local currency IDR at 'B'; Outlook Positive;
  -- Short-term foreign currency IDR at 'B';
  -- Short-term local currency IDR at 'B';
  -- Viability Rating at 'b';
  -- Support Rating at '4';
  -- Support Floor at 'B';
  -- National long-term rating at 'AA-(dom)'; Outlook Stable;
  -- National Short-Term Rating at 'F1+(dom)'.

Additionally, Fitch has assigned a Stable Outlook to BANRESERVAS'
National Long-Term Rating.

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.
Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices
for actual trades are probably different.  Our objective is to
share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds some position in the
issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
