The Brazilian State Attorney General has dismissed allegations that Johann Steynberg, the late mastermind of a South African bitcoin ponzi scheme, was granted irregular access to a computer and the internet while in prison. Acting public prosecutor Lauro Machado Nogueira recently released a report stating that evidence from prison authorities contradicted these claims. Additionally, Steynberg, who passed away in April, had seen 17 different lawyers during his time in prison, and there are documents to support this. The Goiás Attorney General conducted an investigation and found evidence refuting allegations related to unscheduled visits.
