# Cryptocurrency company, NTC Global, at the centre of the murder of insolvency attorney Bouwer van Niekerk, has been provisionally liquidated. According to News24, the firm had collected 484-million-rand in investments, with 262-million-rand still owed to creditors. Investigations suggest NTC operated as a Ponzi scheme, and business rescue efforts failed. Van Niekerk was shot at his law offices in Saxonwold, Johannesburg, last week, and no arrests have yet been made. The High Court in Pretoria has set 6 November for the final liquidation hearing.
