Refer to the judgement directly and the Insolvency Act of 1936 section 32 (3), you will see that the letter you received has huge holes in it. They cannot take current value of BTC, it must be taken at time of disposition, i.e. when it was invested and withdrawn in/out of MTI. Secondly they must...
I've spoken to my attorney. I am putting together a very strong reply that based on the Insolvency Act, past court orders, and this last court order from last week by Acting Justice Alan Maher, that it completely invalidates their letter of demand, on the bases that it's incomplete, their...
They are clearly over reaching and trying anything that would benefit them as much as possible.
Once they get your money, go ahead and see if you'll ever get back even if they admit to some invalid action on their part.
I've seen that the attorneys are as much scammers in this entire story as...
Is there any further details on this ruling from Acting Justice Alan Maher, is there a copy of the ruling somewhere, exact date, and which court?
Regarding the other point, even in the article, there is no mention that BTC is money, "should be treated as intangible, movable property." i.e. an...
I can only tell the argument the attorney used when I asked this same question. Especially that it's explained as such in the Act section 32 and in the order.
They interpret the payment as the date of payment to them and not the date of payment from MTI to the investor i.e. date of withdrawal...
My withdrawal was on on 31 August 4 months before the provisional liquidation of MTI on 29 December.
From the judgement, it's within the 6 months cutoff.
I was honestly really only in it for a few weeks, I invested a small amount and then after a few weeks withdrew it. My entire benefit or "profit" was a mere 0.05 BTC. I can easily say that deep wouldn't describe it, it was more of a feel the water kind of involvement, by virtue of their...
Yes, I have read the judgement. I'm not an expert but..
Here is an extract from the article, if I interpret this correctly, the attorneys claiming debit are using the exact section of the act that the judge refused.
De Wet refused the rest of the relief the liquidators sought, including:
An...
It's already public knowledge, that all the different parties involved: liquidators, attorneys, IT companies, etc. have already been paid out, and even how much each got paid...
Yes, obviously, but there are around 8 liquidators involved in this MTI story, not all are in fact representing MTI Traiding as the "client". Therefore it's not as simple as just the liquidators, knowing exactly which liquidator can be the difference between a somewhat legitimate claim and...
I have a lawyer friend who is looking into it.
I was advised not to just ignore it, as this usually make it worse in the long run, also the data I did share with them should be OK since it only shows some basic info, and info they mostly already have.
I was also advised to meet with them and see...
They only have the MTI account number, Name, Last Name, Email Address.
It was never FICA-ed, so no ID, address or anything else.
I have the pleasure of an exceptionally rare last name, I don't believe that there is more than 20 or 30 worldwide with this unfortunate name, to track me down would...
Sir/Madam,
We refer to the above and confirm that we act herein on behalf of the duly appointed joint liquidators of Mirror Trading International (Pty) Ltd (in liquidation) ("MTI").
All future communications in this matter should be addressed to our firm to the above e-mail address.
1. You...
Thanks for the reply.
1. Lawyer up, even though the amount they are asking me to pay back is completely unreasonable, the cost of lawyers vs my real benefit here also just feels unreasonable to justify.
2. I have already setup a meeting with them to hear their grounds of claim, they won't say...
I am one of those unlucky idiots who "invested" in MTI based on a number of friends convincing me to do it and after a few short weeks I withdrew everything. By virtue of how the MTI scam worked there was a small difference of 0.05 BTC "profit".
I agree that I'm the idiot because I first...
