The confusion and anguish that greeted the freeze of MMM Nigeria has eclipsed the possible collapse of MMM United.
MMM United has kept mum after it announced that it will be doing maintenance. Its members have written to PageOne.ng complaining that they cannot access the site.

The last message to its members said:

Dear Participants,

Due to heavy traffic and over flooded registrations, we need to upgrade our servers again.  This is to inform you in advance that we will be under maintenance from 12.30 PM to 3.30 PM (Moscow Time). Please share this news with your team members too.
Thank you.

MMM United is a digital Ponzi Scheme fashioned after MMM Global. Its owners claim they are former members and administrators of MMM Global. They did not disclose their identities.

Ponzi Scheme crtics who spoke to PageOne.ng said MMM United must have collapsed under its own weight. Some suggest it might have collaosed alongside MMM Nigeria as its system might be linked to the same owner, Sergey Mavrodi.


Before its ‘collapse’, MMM United ran a promotion promising 20% extra interest for new members:

Dear Participants,

There are insinuations that MMM United is owned by Nigerians. While there no empirical proof for this claim, some preliminary investigation shows that the site is majorly Nigerian.

An analysis of the site website shows that 89% of its traffic comes from Nigeria. The only other country where it gets smaller traffic is China, South Africa and the USA.

The last message its members received from MMM United was that same announcement Naija Help Givers released that sealed its fate.

The next coming weeks will be a crucial moment in the lives of many Ponzi Schemes that dotted Nigeria’s Internet space.
