It is the year of the “theft of the century”, the defrauding of three banks, the Savings Bank, Unibank, and the Social Bank, a theft totaling one billion dollars, under the benevolent gaze of the National Bank, the Ministry of Finance, the General Prosecutor's Office, the National Anti-Corruption Council, and the Security and Intelligence Service (SIS). 2015 was the year when controversial oligarch Vlad Plakhotniuk became Moldova's international brand, identified by more and more chancelleries as a source of evil 1. But 2015 is also the year of budding hope that civil society is awakening, that the political scene is evolving not only for the worse, but for the better too, that in the public square untarnished personalities would appear, new and charismatic figures around which one could build an alternative to the present political parties.

Toronto Financial Technology Financial www.MarlinLLC.com © Marlin & Associates Holdings LLC, All Right Reserved DEAR CLIENTS AND FRIENDS, One $20 Billion Deal – and Four Big-Money Fintech bets in 2018. Our February M&A Update Dear Clients and Friends, Our latest Fintech m&a report can be found below. It highlights m&a trends and transactions in the seven segments of the Fintech world that we follow and sometimes lead. Please see below for our February Fintech Market Update. Clearly, the big deal this month is Blackstone (together with Canada Pension Fund and Singapore’s GIC) buying 55% of Thomson Reuters’ financial information business (commonly referred to as “Reuters”, even though the original Newswire business is not part of the transaction.) At around US$20 billion (including debt), this is Blackstone Group’s largest deal since the financial crisis, and it’s the biggest deal EVER in Fintech. So what does it mean? We see Blackstone and its partners making four big-money bets: This is a bet on FinTech outsourcing. For 30+ years people have been predicting that financial services firms, which spend billions on internal development, would soon outsource the majority of this effort to 3rd parties such as Reuters. But it has been slow in coming. This is a bet that the FinTech world is changing – driven by increasingly complex regulatory requirements, competitive pressures, and the requirement to meet customer needs with expensive data feeds and mobile-enabled enterprise applications using secure reliable AI, Big Data Analytics, biometrics, cloud, neural networks, SaaS, social media integration and more.
