To whom it may concern,

I would like to find out the following?  I invested with Mirror Trading International when everyone thought that the company was legitimate.  I did draw some money from my MTI account in the months before everything crashed and came to a standstill.  I was subpoena'd a while ago to appear before a judge for interrogation on my dealings with the company and the transactions that I did while I had money invested with the company.  A week before I had to appear, I was diagnosed with Covid-19 for which I did obtain proof of the test done by Lancet Laboratories, which I sent through to the lawyers handeling the liquadation of the company and who served me the subpoena, stating that I would have to quarantine and would not be able to appear before the judge.  

My questions are:  

Can a person that appeared at the same day as I was supposed to appear be given a message to tell me to appear at a later date (will this be official), or would the lawyers handeling the liquadation have to subpoena me again with a different date for me to appear?

     2. Does a subpoena have to contain my full names and ID or can only my name and surname be used to subpoena me, as there             could be 20 other people with the same name as I, who also had investments with MTI?

I would really appreciate your help in this regard!
