The Central Bank called BTG and XP asking them not to completely suspend negotiations with Banco Master, citing risk of crisis in the financial system. At the same time, Justice Gilmar Mendes criticized the BC and CVM for lack of oversight in the Master case.

Banco Master, led by Daniel Vorcaro, became the subject of scandal following revelations of fraud that resulted in R$ 57 billion in losses to the financial system. BTG and XP Investimentos were distributors of Master's CDBs, and the interruption of these distributions was decisive in accelerating the bank's downfall, as it depended on new issuances to honor its commitments.
