Kobus van der Merwe surfaced in a video uploaded 23-01-2021³¹⁾ blaming his disappearance/silence on a security incident,necessitating the shutdown of Finalmente Global's platform. Below the video the description links to a comment form and a copy of the Liquidation notice,used as an excuse to shift blame to the Liquidation (and insinuating the members that requested it) for preventing any way of legitimately re-starting the platform.

The CEO of Finalmente Global Kobus van der Merwe attempted to dissociate Finalmente Global and MTI and put out a statement on 22.12.2020 that there was no similarity or connection between MTI and Finalmente Global³²⁾. This would later prove to be false by their own admission

Finalmente Global placed on their website and sent out a message on 06.01.2021 stating that due to MTI's demise they were unable continue the scheme³³⁾.

Verbatim quote:

Dear Members,

It is with heavy heart that we have to inform you that due to the demise of MTI, we too, have lost a substantial amount of money, not only due to the investment we have/had with them but also the revenue stream of advertising.

As most of you know our business was advertising based, MTI being one of our largest clients in that aspect of our business. Due to the false impression of our association with MTI a large portion of our other clients have also cancelled our mandate.

Due to this we have lost a substantial portion of our income, as a result we are no longer lucrative enough to continue trading and we have had to retrench our staff and suspend all further trade.

This website will be suspended for an indefinite period. We will keep you advised of any further developments.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

With regret,
Management Finalmente Global (Pty) Ltd

Cryptoanalyzer put a notice on his website stating people shouldn't count on getting their funds returned³⁴⁾ which is ironic,since he withdrew all his available funds (10BTC) on 24 November 2020³⁵⁾.

A subsequent update post has been placed on the website:

Dear Members,

Further to the previous e-mail and subsequent suspension of our platforms, we wish to advise all members that we are working vigorously together with relevant professionals to find a solution to the problem.

We wish to inform everyone that further communication will follow as soon as possible, as to what the plan of action will be to resolve this to the best of our abilities.

Regards,
Finalmente Global (Pty) Ltd
