 ====== Personal life, Family and Current Whereabouts ======
-Before Johann's disappearance, It was reported that Johann was currently residing in Polokwane in the province of Limpopo, South Africa. It is believed that Johann was married to Nerina Steynberg in 2006 and they have one daughter together.
+Before Johann's disappearance, it was reported that Johann was residing in Polokwane in the province of Limpopo, South Africa. It is believed that Johann married Nerina Steynberg (born 10 March 1982) in 2006 and they have one daughter together.
+While extremely unlikely, it is not possible to establish if Nerina had any official involvement with MTI from a company point of view. With that said Nerina had at least one MTI account in her own name, and her total scheme income at the time of the MTI hack was R15 728 192.34
+Its unknown if she opened this account herself, or it was merely managed by Johann. It was a common strategy for other MTI directors to open up multiple accounts in other family members & children names to abuse the referral fee system. It is believed that Nerina currently works in a retail chain, and continues to occupy her position after Johann's disappearance.
 According to [[https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/mirror-non-trading-international-2-the-fallout.1108596/post-26320811|publically available information]], Johann and Nerina are the only directors of [[https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/mirror-non-trading-international-2-the-fallout.1108596/post-26320811|Dulospan (Pty) Ltd]]. This company recently purchased 5 properties including a R4.5 farm on 26/05/2020, a R1m property on 24/04/2020, and a R955000 property on 17/06/2020 in Limpopo, South Africa. Considering the info available from the recent MTI hack, there are substantial withdrawals on Nerina's account before the time of purchase. This supports the theory that that these properties where bought with ill gotten gains from MTI.
-Johann has at least 2 other brothers. Johann's older brother, Coert Steynberg made a public statement after Johann's disappearance referring to Johann as "my youngest brother". Coert claims that he has not had any contact with Johann in the last 5 years due to the fact that he lost money after investing in [[kipisa|Kipi]] on Johanns reccomendation

 While the circumstances around his disappearance is currently unknown, its a common exit strategy implemented by crypto scams for top management to disappear with members funds. This most famously also happened in [[btcglobal|BTC Global]], where [[steventwain|Steven Twain]] disappeared. Its widely known that most of the current MTI top management was also involved in the BTC Global scam. Other examples of this dissapearing act include the disappearance of [[https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49826161|Ruja Ignatova]] and the possible death of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadriga_Fintech_Solutions|Gerald Cotten]]
-From this message it is thought that Johann's wife did not join him on his trip abroad. It was noted that a missing persons case has been filed. Its currently unknown if this missing persons case was filed in South Africa, or in the country where he went missing. Johann's current whereabouts remain unknown.
+From this message it is thought that Johann's wife did not join him on his trip abroad. From the initial MTI statement it was noted that a missing persons case has been filed. On a follow up statement by MTI, management noted that Nerina has not filled a missing persons report as yet, which is in direct contradiction to their first statement. Its currently unknown if this missing persons case was indeed filed. Although Nerina did not have any official position in MTI, in a bizarre move [[cheriward|Cheri Ward]] referred investors to Nerina for any questions after Johann's dissapearance.

+ ====== Arrest ======
+on the 7th January, 2022 Johann Steynberg was arrested in Goiânia, Brazil, confirming suspicions that he had fled to the country approximately a year ago.
