Brazilian Judge Drops Criminal Charges Against Late Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme MTI Mastermind Johann Steynberg

A Brazilian federal judge has ordered the dismissal of criminal charges against Johann Steynberg, the late CEO of Bitcoin Ponzi scheme Mirror Trading International (MTI), after a police investigation confirmed reports of his death. Steynberg's death certificate has been added to the case file. After the news was revealed, some victims immediately defamed the claims. Some people believe that Steynberg may have faked his death. At the time of his death, Steynberg's death certificate showed that he suffered from acute respiratory failure. (Bitcoin.com) Earlier in May, the South African National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) was investigating the conspirators of the Bitcoin Ponzi scheme Mirror Trading International (MTI), which was planned by the late Johann Steynberg. Isaac Dludlu, head of media relations at the NPA, said that the prosecution is considering several charges against the relevant persons, including fraud and forgery.
