Despite Trinity’s liquidation in May 2024 while still operating, Knox held 95% of shares and was sole director — and Elite was registered just three hours after Trinity shut down. Authorities say she ignored mounting financial issues and unpaid taxes, leading to both companies’ liquidation. The ban, under the Companies Act, aims to protect the public and creditors — Knox can’t direct or manage any company until late 2034.
