Overview: The $350M Uruguay Financial Scandal 🇺🇾

For years, Uruguay has been a global leader in high-quality beef exports. However, the recent collapse of a prominent investment model—where individuals bought "cow bonds" representing physical cattle—has exposed deep vulnerabilities in agricultural oversight. Thousands of victims, ranging from local pensioners to international firms, discovered that the cows they owned on paper either didn't exist or were part of a massive double-counting scheme.

This breakdown explores the mechanics of the Uruguay cow scandal, the impact on the national economy, and the ongoing legal battles to recover the missing $350 million. We look at how "phantom cattle" became a central part of this financial scandal and what it means for the future of agricultural investment in the region.
