Nigerians woke up this morning, December 13 to news of the popular ponzi scheme MMM (Mavrodi Mondial Movement), which has been the rage for a few months, going on a break.
The organisation itself issued a statement to the effect that all accounts have been frozen until January 2017.
While some people are of the opinion that the break is only temporary, others are convinced that this is where the ride ends.
These are the reactions in 13 tweets:

3. There’s no one that can really be held accountable
The funny thing is that MMM Nigeria has no physical address or Head Office.

5. And really, how does that work?
MMM was tempting. Agreed. But me I can’t be at peace with such “sweat-free” investment portfolio. That 30% was very suspect. From where?

7. Chop alone, die alone
I really feel sorry for the people that joined MMM silently.
Nobody knows they joined so who are they going to share their grief with?

You only get more disappointed if you are having hope/waiting till January and they don’t unfreeze it. #mmm

12. As you’ll hear in the Bollywood film ‘3 Idiots’, Aal iz well
The folks at MMM are saying all is well & encouraging people to keep putting in money, AND trying to pin this on the government. Well played
