In a forensic investigation even the email address will be enough to put together the complete picture. I'm sorry you put money into MTI. :(
the average guy will get caught I'm sure. I'm interested in the pros - those guys with email addresses only used for MTI, registering with a prepaid burner SIM, using a crypto currency exchange with lax KYC - I would not be surprised if there are a few big fish like that

so I agree for the average guy there may be enough info, but for a pro scamster wanting to avoid exposure they may well have given enough of a gap
If you are invested , get it out and put it in a safe account maybe at your attorney and dont touch it , you may need it soon.

Like credit card users used to do when you had to still use the manual machine , merchant only finds out 3 days later that hes been screwed.Merchant Services knew my voice when i phoned for clearance , was virtually every transaction.


Actually, it could be up to 2 months later

Im not invested in this scam. Have had multiple approaches from people but my bullschit detector was blaring from day one.

Still, the way this operates and the psyche of people running this scam is a fascinating topic - someone can get a pretty good PhD out of analysing these aspects

The mechanics of people , studied it in the Military , fascinating stuff , how do you think that the old SADF used to operate , was by peoples insecurities we were learned about Mao tse Tung and other things that went bump in the night , supposedly.

I had a contact at Telkom that used to give me addresses from phone numbers that were given , no cell phones back then .on many occasions i used to sit with the local telephone directory and go through all the phone numbers to try find an address , sometimes it was worth it ,

my take on this is : a lot of ponzi schemes fold , as with BTC , but did the authorities have a list of all investors at hand with all the info .nope , this time they do , the info cant just disappear its out there , you cant deny it , if you have withdrawn etc you are on the list , nice and easy for the attorneys to pick through , basically if you are involved you are f@#ked , when it comes to the takedown .if you invested after the list you may be missed , but i doubt it somehow .This thing will implode its just a matter of time .Some attorneys are going to be very busy for quite a while sorting out this mess .Unfortunately this time i wont be able to get inside info from the attorneys as with Krion .
Definitely there is more information out there on members at all levels in the scheme, so when (even after years) it crashes, lawyers for those investors who lose money have loads of threads to pick up. The other aspect here is that apart from any SARS cases, the criminal case(s) will be insignificant compared with civil ones. With the money potentially involved if some of the big investors are not paid out will be enough to keep the lawyers on the case for years.

I think there are many lawyers sitting on the sidelines licking their chops, waiting for this thing to implode. Ultimately, the only people who will make any real money out of this mess, are the lawyers....

Question for Cherry but maybe someone else can help! What does a South African charge help when the leaky server is in India?

Oh absolutely, and you will probably find them in equal measure.

I just find it hilarious how Afrikaners often like to think so highly of themselves, as if certain desirable characteristics like honesty and integrity go hand in hand with the mere fact of being Afrikaans.

(btw, I'm Afrikaans lol)
I have a friend who's Afrikaans, therefore I'm not an Afrikanerist.

Pick one:

A) The culprit has been arrested and charged - Trust us.
B) Its crypto, normal laws and rules do not apply, its irrelevant that the "crime" occurred in another country - we got 'em.
C) We cant give any details of the case number/arrest/charges etc as we have been advised against doing so by our legal team (Leonard Grey).
