...want to engage in a debate about the morality of the Marlins' success, nor do I want to discuss their off-season spending spree to acquire the players they needed to become championship contenders.

Flush with cash, IRSA has been on a buying spree, investing in everything from a $50 million sports complex to major office buildings to $450 million worth of swank shopping malls. In the posh ski resort of San Carlos de Bariloche in the Andes, IRSA joined with Citicorp to buy the deluxe Hotel Llao Llao, with its spectacular view...
