Since then, Wiese has fought to recover his losses, filing a R59bn lawsuit against Steinhoff, alleging he was misled during the Pepkor transaction and subsequent events. This litigation is ongoing. Pepkor again became a standalone company following Steinhoff's troubles. However, Ibex is still one of Pepkor's largest shareholders. Rose explains that the SARB believes various laws, including the exchange control regulations, were breached in the transactions leading to Steinhoff's purchase of Pepkor and its 2015 listing in Germany. "A year after the deal, Steinhoff listed in Germany. To do this, Jooste had to make various claims to the Reserve Bank about the accuracy of its financials. We now know that Markus Jooste had systematically manipulated the financial statements. It was a complete fiction – R106bn in fictitious transactions over more than a decade. Steinhoff submitted these false financials to the Reserve Bank, and based on this, it was allowed to take money out of the country. That's dubious at best."
