Good try, but I don't think this works. MBIA likely does not need to show it "made good" on bond insurance for the portion of Zohar its UK affiliate purchased. My guess is that holding is now unwrapped. It also feels labored to interpret a lack of public announcement as evidence of failure to pay principal.
