A better picture has emerged of what happened to the R1.4 billion ploughed by investors into forex trading company Imagina FX, which was placed in liquidation in October 2020 when the company put a freeze on withdrawals.

Creditors voice fury at MTI liquidators after all investor claims rejected Investigations by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority found no evidence of any successful trading by MTI, and the liquidators have asked the court to declare it a Ponzi scheme, in which case all payouts received by investors would have to be returned. It is not certain that the same fate awaits Imagina FX investors, though funds paid out to Massyn’s family trusts and other beneficiaries could certainly be targeted.
