Itโ€™s home to the Masterโ€™s Office that administers deceased estates and oversees liquidations - some involving major companies under investigation for millions made in the state capture years. Among the liquidators' responsibilities is attempting to recover money owed to creditors. Cloete Murray was the driving force in the liquidation of BOSASA, a company at the centre of serious allegations of fraud and corruption and owing substantial amounts to creditors including SARS. Murray wasnโ€™t afraid of asking difficult questions of the many company directors he investigated and there were attempts to remove him from the Bosasa case that went as high as the Supreme Court of Appeal. None was successful. Murrayโ€™s story is inextricably linked to those of two senior former officials in the Masterโ€™s Office who believe they were removed because of their role in Murrayโ€™s appointment to the Bosasa liquidation. Last year, Carte Blanche told this story, and interviewed Cloete Murray. But on Saturday he and his son were shot and killed in what is believed to have been an assassination. Carte Blanche investigates the final days before this dark and unspeakable crime took place. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv

UPDATE: In March 2021, MTI liquidators were able to recover 1281 Bitcoin amounting to approximately R1.1 billion in value. However, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) lodged a claim of R931,121,989.35 against MTI's estate, alleging the liquidators failed to submit tax returns on the recovered Bitcoin amount. This is a developing story. The Cape High Court has set four provisional liquidators the task of tracking down assets that can still be found after the mammoth Mirror Trading International shut down in December 2020 โ€“ this after numerous investors were unable to withdraw their money. Marketed as a multilevel bitcoin investment scheme and valued at up to R9 billion, MTI claim theyโ€™ve made up to 10% in returns per month using a computerised trading system. But why was the Financial Sector Conduct Authority unable to find evidence of trading success by the company? Has the CEO really disappeared as has been widely reported? Carte Blanche reveals how 300,000 members were duped out of their life savings as investigators try to account for nearly 23,000 Bitcoin.
