Alexandru D. Bodislav: Balkan’s named CEO and contractual representative

Alexandru D. Bodislav is central to the documented transaction. The Collateral Transfer Agreement identifies Balkan as represented “with full right and authority” by Bodislav and names him as Chief Executive Officer. His name and CEO title appear in the agreement’s signature blocks, Addendum #01 and Balkan’s official notices. The documents on which Balkan relies were therefore issued in his name and under his stated authority, even though day-to-day communications were principally handled by Christian Nahaboo and compliance personnel.

The direct CEO escalation on 17 May 2026

After months of failed funding and deteriorating contact, Kopa repeatedly contacted Bodislav through the email addresses and social channels it could identify. Kopa explained that money had been raised against the family home shared with McPherson’s wife and children; that the family home was at risk; that Kopa was more than £500,000 worse off; that more than 65 lenders had been approached without one willing to lend against the guarantee; and that the delays risked claims exceeding £2 million and financial bankruptcy.

The escalation set out the operational history in detail: more than 50 unanswered calls during December; creditor questions supposedly sent to Alexandra Rodrigues that never arrived; further weeks waiting for another creditor’s compliance questions; no direct response from Arkadia or Millennium; two planned trips to the United States that failed to produce a meeting; more than 80 pages of messages promising calls; and mining presentations said to have gone to board meetings without feedback.

Bodislav’s response

Bodislav replied that he would ask Nahaboo for an update and invited Kopa to send the communications. After speaking with Nahaboo, he told Kopa: “Christian sent me a message that on the company’s behalf all elements are in line.” He added that Nahaboo would continue his mandate supporting Kopa’s inquiries.

Kopa replied that Nahaboo had called at the agreed time only to say he would call again in two hours, but never did, and offered to send the latest WhatsApp export. The CEO response did not address the disputed SWIFT evidence, the failure to fund, the custody problem or later custody solution, the missing creditor questions, the family’s financial exposure, or the request for senior intervention. It returned the matter to the same representative whose prolonged failures to communicate formed part of the complaint.

Why this matters

By 17 May 2026, Balkan’s named CEO had direct notice of the alleged losses, hardship, failed funding and communication record. His response repeated an internal assurance that “all elements are in line” and left Nahaboo in charge, without a documented investigation or substantive resolution.

A public-facing figure who did not respond again

After Kopa’s follow-up offering the full communications record, Bodislav did not reply again. This is especially notable because he has a substantial public profile in Romania as an academic, economist and commentator on political and economic affairs. Public sources show appearances on Romanian political programmes including “România Politică”; his published academic CV also describes public-affairs and crisis-management consultancy for corporate, administrative and political clients, including political parties.

Those facts do not establish that Bodislav holds elected office or a government post, and this account does not describe him as an office-holder without further evidence. They do establish that he is a visible participant in Romanian public and political discourse, making it legitimate to scrutinise how he responded in his stated capacity as Balkan’s CEO when a customer reported severe hardship and alleged losses exceeding £500,000.
