Tears As MMM Crashes, Millions Lose Money by jbcul4ril(m): 4:07am On Oct 22, 2016 |
TVC E. Zimbabweans are in a financial trauma at the moment as their saving with Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox (MMM) crashes, all thanks to the popular Ponzi scheme called MMM established by Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi a Russian criminal and a former deputy of the State Duma.. Thousands of people living in Zimbabwe, among them civil servants, vendors and more, were said to have lost thousands of dollars to fraudulent online pyramid scheme MMM Global Zimbabwe after the system collapsed recently. The social financial network, which relied on an accelerating number of new members to pay off the old, abruptly terminated its services without any prior notice last week leaving participants stranded. News gotten from Iharare.co reports that these Zimbabweans joined the online investment scheme with the sole aim of “getting rich quickly”. It was said that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe warned its people about the system, saying the scheme was fraudulent. The scheme prides itself as a mutual aid fund under which recruited members contribute money to assist others and are promised investment returns of 30 percent per month. Some of the people left counting their losses told The Herald that they received emails that the scheme had been suspended until September 15. One of the participants, Mr Tinashe Muza of Harare said: “All along things were moving in the right direction and we now have nowhere to claim our investments. When we started putting our funds in the scheme one could get assistance within seven days but things later changed to 14 days and when we were shut out the waiting period was 21 days. What it simply means is that the number of people in need of help has outnumbered the number of people joining. Right now we have nowhere to get our money which we invested.” The Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox takes its name from its founder, Sergei Panteleevich Mavrodi of Russia. He founded MMM in 1989 and the scheme was declared bankrupt three years later leading to the disappearance of Mavrodi until his arrest in 2003. While some people who were skeptical about the scheme started with small amounts, it is believed some poured in thousands of dollars anticipating higher returns. The RBZ said the schemes were fraudulent as existing investors were ‘paid money not from genuine market investment of their funds, but from contributions made by new investors, until a point when the scheme can no longer attract new investors.” Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi is a Russian criminal and a former deputy of the State Duma. He is the founder of the МММ series of pyramid schemes Currently, the scheme is in Nigeria and it is called MMM – Federal Republic of Nigeria. Lots of Nigerians are on the scheme and the scheme actually works (just like how it was working well at first in Zimbabwe). MMM Nigeria, is a Ponzi scheme that originated in Russia that has now set up in Nigeria. Wikipedia says the company was involved in one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in the 1990s. It was estimated that thousands of people lost up to $10 billion dollars. Well, a lot of people think the scheme is legit and not a scam but the history of the company says the opposite. Only time will tell. What is your take on this? 1 Like |

Why repeating the warnings? Those that want to do should do, those that doesn't shouldn't. People that come to me for advice, I simply tell them why I am not interested. I also tell them the benefits. But I warn them not to engage because of the possibility that it could pack up anyday. It's up to them. 5 Likes |

People are just good at spreading rumours. Who told you participants of this great option(MMM) in an economy experiencing recession do not know the risk involved? Who told you they don't know it will crash one day. We are just taking advantage of it now. Or are you one of those people they have paid to discourage people? Come MMM will pay you more.

MMM has been branded a ponzi scheme because it lets the citizens (slaves) to become financially independent. No more loans, and depositing in banks that don't reward you. Governments and Banks are at war against MMM. Bank staffs are also afraid their salaries will be cut because of customer loss. So they might join the war. IF MMM COLLAPSE, NOT BECAUSE ITs A PONZI BUT BECAUSE THERE'S A CONSPIRACY. The device that cured cancer destroyed. http://humansarefree.com/2014/03/the-device-that-cured-cancer-destroyed.html
