(Bloomberg) -- The investigation into a failed South African Bitcoin trader is deepening as provisional liquidators appointed to seize control of Mirror Trading International seek to widen the scope of their inquiry.

These controls are not typically granted by courts to liquidators acting in a provisional capacity.
