Объем торга уменьшается, словно в начале весны, когда матросы поймали корабль в шторм. Всё это говорит мне одно: скоро начнется что-то большое — или веселое карнаваловское торжество, или же трагическая пьеса о потерянных надеждах.
Now, the SEC, in its infinite wisdom, has pointed out that these exchanges were offering their services to local users via their websites without the necessary authorization.

Now your money can be stolen by a hacker while you’re still debating whether to buy a latte or a yacht.
