MMM Update:MMM signals to Nigerian participants
In preparation of the restart of the Ponzi scheme Mavordi Mondial Movement
(MMM) on 14 January, promoters have issued instructions to its
participants whose accounts were frozen, to perform “Promo Tasks: A New
Tool for MMM Community Development.”
In the MMM message, subscribers are told to perform tasks, both
online and offline, to promote the scheme and drive “traffic and
participation” by the time the restriction on the account is lifted.
“Being an MMM member implies not only opportunities, but also a
responsibility for the state and development of the MMM Community”, the
message said.
The information raises hopes of the almost three million Nigerians
who invested in the scheme, following the ban on withdrawals on December
3, 2016.
On January 2, the scheme on its official Twitter handle,
@MMMNigeriaHelp disclosed that participants’ accounts will be unfrozen
on January 14.
Some of the participants have taken to social media to give reasons why the scheme should return.
MMM was a Russian company that perpetrated one of the world’s largest
Ponzi schemes of all time, in the 1990s. By different estimates from
five to 40 million people lost up to $10 billion. The exact figures are
not known even to the founders.
The scheme was banned in some African countries but has spread to Ghana and Kenya.
