The Attorney General’s Questions

Views of the Cornered

Although the names of the crypto platforms were kept anonymous, somehow they came out. Among the two firms to be shut down immediately one is the Nexo Financial LLC and among the three which received letters, one was the Celsius Network LLC.

On the contrary, the co-founder of Nexo Financial LLC, Antoni Trenchev defends that they absolutely do not operate or lend finance services in the state of New York.

In addition, he adds that they will be replying to the Attorney General’s letter stating that they might have wrongly sent the letters, maybe a mistake with the recipients.
