I couldn’t make this up.

I wonder if PRA can use some of the $2.6 billion credit it can borrow to buy back its own debt owed for pennies on the dollar. We owe you a billion bucks? We’ll buy the debt for $60,000,000 with $60,000,000 borrowed funds. Then we’ll pay ourselves back half the face value of the debt, $500,000,000, also with borrowed funds.
That gives us a $440,000,000 profit, if no one looks too closely.
Easy peazy, our PRAA stock price should surge right back up to $43.
