Бинанце се наводно суочава са истрагом америчке СЕЦ због продаје БНБ-а

“It would not be appropriate for us to comment on our ongoing conversations with regulators, which include education, assistance, and voluntary responses to information requests. We will continue to meet all requirements set by regulators”.
