Perhaps, but if the legal opinion attached to the bonds highlighted the risk, and I do not know what it said, then it should be at the risk of the purchaser. In addition, those bondholders who bought years ago and held would probably have little or no loss since interest rates declined substantially. But you are likely correct. This will not be over for quite a while.
