In October 2013, Aurelius attempted to force the government of Argentina to pay $1.3bn following the 2010 Argentinian default on debt.[1] The fund is branded a "vulture" by Argentina for its stance.[2]

Aurelius has been involved in debt restructuring of Dubai World and Tribune Co; and, in October 2013, The Co-operative Bank.[1] Aurelius led a push to apply $54 billion of Petrobas bonds governed by U.S. law in the state of New York.[3] In 2015 Aurelius bought large amounts of Ukraine's government debt before securing a preferential deal on its restructuring.[2] It has also been involved in the restructuring of debts owed by Puerto Rico.[4][5]
