On preparation for its expected return on
January 14, the Ponzi scheme Mavordi
Mondial Movement (MMM) promoters have
issued instructions to its participants whose
accounts were frozen, to perform “Promo
Tasks: A New Tool for MMM Community
Development.”
The MMM message to subscribers said the
tasks, which should be done both online and
offline, will 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.
ÌÌÌ 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.
