A very careless and disorganized…

A very careless and disorganized platform. They can't handle your assets without creating opportunities for problems to arise. And due to their incompetence, I lost so much which still they were unwilling to assist me get it returned. All they did was waste my time doing nothing until Hbpf holdings showed some interest in my case which led to the correction of my situation at last.
