CrimeBeware Of MMM- NIGERIA by franksy(op): 10:37pm On Sep 01, 2016
Beware of MMM- NIGERIA !!!!!!
MMM is Ponzi scheme.
The CEO of the company(MMM Nigeria) Seigei Marvrodi is a convicted fraudster and had run similar fraud schemes in Russia where he defrauded investors over a hundred billion dollars.

Please always do your research before investing your money especially with this recession more fraudsters will be coming to the country to take advantage of our present situation.
Be safe than sorry!


Unraveling of a Ponzi scheme

When a Ponzi scheme is not stopped by the authorities, it sooner or later falls apart for one of the following reasons.

The promoter vanishes, taking all the remaining investment money.
Since the scheme requires a continual stream of investments to fund higher returns, once investment slows down, the scheme collapses as the promoter starts having problems paying the promised returns (the higher the returns, the greater the risk of the Ponzi scheme collapsing). Such liquidity crises often trigger panics, as more people start asking for their money, similar to a bank run.
External market forces, such as a sharp decline in the economy (for example, the Madoff investment scandal during the market downturn of 2008), cause many investors to withdraw part or all of their funds.

Why do FINANCIAL WATCH believe that MMM Nigeria is a pyramid/Ponzi scheme? lets look at the following reasons.

The promise of a 30 % ROI is outrageous and not in terms with standard rates of investment (Example one makes a profit of 30,000 naira for every 100,000 naira invested in the system in 30 days , excluding additions that comes from referral, signing up and testimonial bonuses) No legal financial company can offer you that investment plan.
Such “Return on Investments” been paid to older clients are money received from new clients and the circle continues, the 30% is never made from company profits. That is why there is aggressive ad campaign from the company(MMM Nigeria) paying massive additional bonuses to recruiters that they call guiders to conduct seminars and deceive gullible Nigerians into joining the scheme to keep the system alive.
The CEO of the company(MMM Nigeria) Seigei Marvrodi is a convicted fraudster and had run similar fraud schemes in Russia where he defrauded investors over a hundred billion dollars.

At this point it is pertinent to be weary of these kind of Ponzi scheme which promise too much to be true, while many Nigerians will continue to defend the scheme, according to many #MMMPays, yes it may pay now, but just like every other fraud, it strikes at a moment the investors express much confidence in their venture. So Nigerians should be wise and avoid unrealistic business ventures like MMM Nigeria.

The Big Weekend Show Highlights 88th Academy Awards Special on StarTimes
23 February 2016: February is Academy Awards month and StarTimes will be celebrating it with an Oscar’s special – The Big Weekend on C Music TV on 27th and 28th February 2016.

Honouring the extraordinary talent of film score composers, the Big Weekend will explore the world of music in film to coincide with the 88th Academy Awards. With a host of exclusive soundtrack music-videos from all the major nomination categories, The Big Weekend will also give viewers insight into a series of enlightening composer promos and abundant film and Oscar facts. The Oscars Special will include some of C Music TV’s favourite artists and evaluate the nominee line-up and possible winners
Chief Executive Officer of StarTimes Nigeria, Mr. Jack Liu said “Many of our subscribers enjoy the glitz and glamour of the Oscars. Hosting the Big Weekend on C Music TV on StarTimes, we hope will be the “cherry on the cake” for Academy Award fans on the African continent.”
After the nominations were announced this year, the audience reaction was heated as many complained about the apparent lack of diversity, resulting in some of the stars deciding to boycott the event.
Oscar winner and former host, Whoopi Goldberg, defended the Academy saying, “The issue is not the Academy. Even if you fill the Academy with black, Latino and Asian members, if there’s no one on the screen to vote for, you’re not going to get the outcome that you want. I won once, so it can’t be that racist. I’ve been black the whole time.”
C Music is available on the StarTimes DTH channel ID 330 (Super bouquet).
Hosting the Oscars will be the all-time best entertainer, Chris Rock. Stay Tuned, things are already too HOT, to miss out on any moments including the Red Carpet moments.
