Mata left because she broke her contract with VShojo and was let go as a result. So it was probably unrelated to this. Now Geega on the other hand did leave on her own recently and now that Mouse has confirmed what went down Geega has confirmed she knew this happened and left because of it.

Although, apparently Mata seeking merch providers other than VShojo was brought on by them being months behind on actually getting people their merch they had paid for and refusing to talk to her or the fans still waiting about what was happening. So me thinks that not all was well behind the scenes if they are cheaping out on merch and stealing charity money.
