S.O.L? =what?
But I agree, any "gentlepersons' agreement" does need to be backed up with more or less terrible regulatory threats. I've always been of the opinion that the vulture funds who prey on emerging market bond restructurings should be covered by something similar to the "cold-shouldering" arrangement which applies to people who break the Takeover Panel Regulations in the UK. Such people aren't actually banned from doing anything, but they will find it impossible to get a broker, because the regulators forbid any regulated firm from having anything to do with certain people.
It might be a bit more difficult for the vultures to descend if they had to do so without the help of JP Morgan, Deutsche, Barclays Capital &c
