According to Odaily, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of South Africa is investigating the conspirators involved in the Bitcoin scam, Mirror Trading International (MTI), orchestrated by the late Johann Steynberg. Isaac Dludlu, the media relations director of the NPA, stated that the prosecuting agency is considering levying several charges against the involved individuals, including fraud and forgery.
As reported by local media, these conspirators are also facing charges for violating the Organized Crime Act and the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, with many still at large. The NPA's pursuit of the MTI conspirators was revealed only a few weeks after Steynberg's 'death' during his house arrest in Brazil.
