Nexo seeks $3B in damages from Bulgaria over dropped investigation

Cryptocurrency lending platform Nexo is looking to claim $3 billion in damages from the Bulgarian government following failed criminal investigations.

Nexo outlined the details of its $3 billion arbitration claim against the Republic of Bulgaria in direct correspondence with Cointelegraph on Jan. 24. It has submitted a claim through the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which is based in Washington, D.C. in the United States.
