Not sure..

Talking to a financial friend to see if he can explain why WU are paying above 200.
WU probably has cash in Argentina that is fairly worthless and unable to get out of the country in any meaningful manner. The cash that "we" pay for our AR$ never enters Argentina.

And that is my speculation.
