MMM, a former Russian company that
perpetrated one of the biggest scams in the 90's has resurrected in Nigeria,
and is making quite a wave.
Thousands of Nigerians have invested in the ponzi scheme, and despite warnings from the Central Bank of Nigeria and a threat from the EFCC to desist from it, many people are still putting their money into the scheme, which could crash any moment from now.
Thousands of Nigerians have invested in the ponzi scheme, and despite warnings from the Central Bank of Nigeria and a threat from the EFCC to desist from it, many people are still putting their money into the scheme, which could crash any moment from now.
Here are 6 reasons why CBN or EFCC can't do anything about shutting down MMM operations in Nigeria at the moment:
- There
is no law against it
- No
one has complained of losing money. There
hasn't been a significant amount of complaint from the public about losing
money to the scheme.
- Law
enforcement agents also invest in it. It
is alleged that policemen and EFCC officials have shares in the scheme.
This makes them less enthusiastic about curbing its activities in the
country.
- FG
is busy. The EFCC and CBN have more
pressing matters to deal with. Their hands are already full with the
anti-corruption war so fighting MMM is not on their priority list.
- MMM
is faceless. There is no registered office or
bank account attributed to MMM, making it hard to be targeted by the
federal government.
- The
Presidency is silent about it.
