tuniski: If only they will admit that banks are ponzi scheme, then I will agree that MMM is a ponzi scheme. 1. MMM is not an Investment program. We are helping ourselves to be financially free. The government has failed us and we have decided to help ourselves 2. MMM does not collect our money. We pay directly to other people's account. 3. Is there any law in this country forbidding us to help our brother? If there is, then you can shut us down 4. If the government begins to gives us 24hours electricity, pay a minimum wage of NGN200,000 per month, employs everyone that is unemployed, then we can consider leaving MMM 214 Likes 16 Shares |

wordcat: MMM IS NOT a Ponzi Scheme, cos in a Ponzi scheme, old members don't put back their money. IN MMM, BOTH OLD AND NEW MEMBERS CONTINUOUSLY PUT IN MONEY BEFORE THEY CAN BE HELPED SUBSEQUENTLY. I was actually waiting to see this. Not surprised! SEC will not stop a bank from 1. Taking N65 from my account after ATM use 2. Illicit withdrawal from my accounts 3. killing depositors with high interest rate BUT will tell Nigerians their concerns when Nigerians are happy with a system. Am happy, this shows that MMM is truly working. I want to make it clear here that in my view our conventional banking system is also a Ponzi scheme... Oh yes. Why Not? They take from our large pool of deposits to grant loans and in the end give us peanuts as interest but when we are the ones paying interest we pay through our nose. If banks are not operating a ponzi scheme, what happens when all depositors assemble to withdraw our cash. 157 Likes 6 Shares |

mmm is not a business organization or cooperate investment platform and therefore cannot be registered under any government monitory or tax laws. mmm is a social organizations base under the platform of social help or donation. people help each other. and I think they made it clear that it's not an investment platform. there is nothing like scam there the only thing there is that it will definitely crushed. it's not a business but circular donations. the ponzi schemes is investment platform. although the similarity is the same. as long as there are new people joining and helping each other the thing will keep going round. the sad part is that it will cut down business activity in the country to some certain %. as people putting their money in the scheme. how its going to crashed? when people stop joining or stop putting their money. then their will be less donor who want to help and high receiver who want help. then it will crashed. 30 Likes 1 Share |

If u really know what MMM has done in your life, even the government can't stop us from solving our financial issues with a single tool called MMM. They are yet to present the best of excuses for them to stop MMM from rewriting the unfair financial system. Together we change the world. Meanwhile few hours from now, the mavro hour will come.....

mckoolcharming: I would advice you read my post again. I am not against MMM or it participants. the threats or danger to our economy is that it collapse business activities. money is no longer circulating. a circle of money is been going round from bank to bank. rather then capital projects to the economy. 14 Likes |

Joel3: list the capital projects when food is paramount..... people are yet to feed and you are talking about capital project. if MMM is a risk, I will take it a million times rather than hope on those gullible brethren Suddenly the government cares about us. With over 20Million unemployed Nigerian youths and a massive economic recession, the clueless Nigerian Government is telling me that I should not freely give out my spare money and get financial help after 30days! MMM has changed my live and that of my family and I have one word for the Government and it's agencies. Thanks for the advice. Now please mind you own business and stay away from mine. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

PaulIdu:shut up. as I said before it's not a scam. it's a simple logic. but it's a threat to our banking sector and the economy. the money is in circle between the banking chain and growing rapidly for doing nothing. it will hurt down our very own economy like recession. the prosperity is a fake prosperity. 8 Likes |

The question is simple, MMM gives you 30% after a month? Even no bank can give you that high ROI(return on Investment) Now how do they make their own profit? i am just curious One thing that I am certain of is that MMM Global is not an investment firm, rather it is more like a Cash Gifting racket. Think about it, if MMM Global does not invest the money elsewhere, how are they able to support the 30% return every month? Whatever money that is poured into the MMM Global system stays in the pool, and it does not grow. The only way to grow it is if there are new “investors” pouring money into the system. 49 Likes 2 Shares |

niggi4life:read the ponzi scheme. the money is a fake liquidity. and not capital. everyone knows liquid investment is of high risk unlike capital. as long as people don't cash out the same time it will remains. just like bank if everyone withdraw their money from the bank the bank will collapse. but that of bank they goes into capital investment with people's money to make profits. but mmm stays idle doing nothing that makes it a perishable liquidity. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Joel3: MMM Global Ponzi collapses, Sergey Mavrodi in hiding Apr.09, 2016 in MMM Global The financial apocalypse is upon us, MMM Global has collapsed. BehindMLM called it yesterday, the only reason a Ponzi scheme stops paying out is if there are banking issues or they run out of money. MMM Global’s use of BitCoin rules out the former, so with investors not paid out for over a month the writing was on the wall. What we didn’t know was just how soon after publishing our article MMM Global’s collapse would be confirmed. In a message sent to investor’s backoffices a few hours ago, their worst nightmare has been confirmed. Referring to the “Republic of BitCoin” Ponzi scheme as an “experiment”, MMM Global blame the ROI percentage for the collapse. 5 Likes |

niggi4life:this is how it works.. if you help someone. that amount let say N50k. this 50k will enters your mavro account. and it grows at 30% a month. at the end of 30days it will be N70k. so if you request for help. someone will help you with the N70 cash out. the person that help you with 70k another person will help that one at 30days. then u too can help another again and again just like that. 7 Likes 3 Shares |
