Antonia’s opinion:

The way in which Mr. Vonica built his business is remarkable.

He showed a lot of intuition in the business filed.

What I tend to like about the way he “plays” is his discretion. You cannot find to many details about

him or his business. [I hope this is a diplomatic act and not a cover-up.]
