The joint trustees have managed to recoup R12.4m, but R1.5bn remains in claims. The efforts to recover funds through settlements, asset recovery, and legal action continue.
Investors’ money was allegedly funnelled through offshore trust accounts and ‘cleaned’ via extensive gambling activities by ‘close and related-party enablers’.
The joint trustees’ attorneys are sending letters demanding repayment from creditors who received over R300m in preferential payments in the six months before sequestration.
As creditors await repayment totalling nearly R2bn, preliminary investigations by the joint trustees point to potential asset recoveries totalling just over R414 million.
The trustees advise ‘that a contribution will currently be levied against creditors until such time that sufficient recoveries are made for the benefit of creditors’.
Claim documents have been sent to creditors as the provisional liquidators take steps to recover assets and secure funds held in the name of Classic Financial Services One.
