MTI kingpin behind bars

[Daniel Puchert]

Kingpin of South Africa's biggest pyramid scheme behind bars

One of the highest-ranking members in the collapsed Mirror Trading International (MTI) pyramid scheme has been arrested for contempt of court.

He was arrested on Friday, 7 March 2025 and was in the holding cells of the Cullinan Magistrate's Court on Monday pending a hearing.

Since we were barred from taking photos of the former MTI kingpin being held for contempt, we captured the rest of the scene. This is the magistrate’s bench before hearings began for the day.

I'll guess, Clynton Marks.

Everyone's a critic.

Blame Parliament for not allowing media to name perps before they appear.

There will be many details as soon as he appears.

Blame Parliament for not allowing media to take photos of perps in civil matters.

There will be a full article as soon as he appears.

Yeah, articles get published before actual information is available.

Happens all the time

Don't be like that. That someone was actually arrested is already news. Plus I drove out there and interviewed the guy.

MyBroadband has learned that despite the vast sums the man allegedly extracted from MTI, he is now destitute.

We were reliably informed that he was living out of a car somewhere in Johannesburg after the liquidators had his houses and luxury vehicles seized.

The man corroborated that he was broke when we spoke to him in the magistrate court’s holding cells, saying he had no money left and could not afford a lawyer.

“All I can say to you, man to man, I don’t have anything,” he said.

“If I could afford a lawyer, I promise you, I would be getting totally different treatment.”

So this is basically a placeholder. A 'watch this space' if you will.

Among other things, he said he could not remember the details of the transactions as he was not good with numbers and had trusted third-parties to execute transactions on his behalf.

Excellent article.

Also, great news.

I'm sure a few days in a police holding cell with Papa should jog his memory.

The one who bought a mansion in Durban and set about spending the stolen 100s of millions in Bitcoin.
