In September 2018, Menzgold dragged SEC and the BoG to court after its license was revoked by SEC.
The suit filed at the Commercial Division of the Accra High Court described the two regulators as indulging in activities that were “harmful†to its operations.
A Circuit court issued a warrant for the arrest of Menzgold CEO Nana Appiah Mensah who is accused of defrauding by false pretenses and money laundering.
It came months after angry customers agitated for the intervention of the state after all their efforts to retrieve their investments failed.
Menzgold has a wide range of clients who found the promised of 7% to 10% interest on their gold collectibles deposited with the company attractive despite regular warnings from regulators not to do business with the company.

Reports by Accra based radio stations monitored by PrimeNewsGhana yesterday indicated that CEO of Menzgold Nana Appiah Mensah was lured to Dubai by his business partners before he was arrested.
Sources close to the matter claim he had landed in the Persian Gulf business hub in the late last year in the hope of retrieving some $39 million owed Menzgold by a Dubai-based company, Horizon Royal Diamonds DMCC, for the supply of gold.
''He was arrested but God's willing will be out by Wednesday to return to Ghana,†said a source close to Nana Appiah Mensah.
The source said Menzgold had duly reported the fake SWIFT detail to EOCO, insisting that “his arrest has nothing to do with Ghana police or Interpol; he only wanted his money to come and sort out Menzgold customers.â€
“He will come home soon, hopefully by Wednesday he will be freed. The bail bond posted by the Dubai authorities has been met. Ghanaian officials in Dubai even visited him on Sunday and if they are minded to, they could be telling the public the true story of why NAM1 was arrested.†the source indicated.
