New Report Claims MMM Will Crash In June 2017 – Daily Gossip

Barring any last minute change, viral ponzi scheme-MMM Nigeria may crash on June 7, 2017, a report has alleged.

The reported quoted by NAN stated that a Nigerian, who styled himself as Pastor Ernest Chigozie Mbanefo is the mastermind of the suspected Ponzi scheme known as MMM Nigeria.

Mbanefo is reportedly based in South Africa.

Nigerian Communications Week said Mbanefo registered the site MMM-Nigeria.net domain on June 7, 2016 about at about 5 pm Nigerian time.

NAN quoting NCW And Pageone report written as far back as September said Mbanefo made a single year domain payment. The domain will expire on June 7, 2017.

It was also revealed that MMM Nigeria is not part of MMM Global – a Russian company that was responsible for one of the world’s largest Ponzi schemes in the 1990s.

MMM Global was founded by Russian politician Sergei Mavrodi, his brother Vyacheslav Mavrodi and Olga Melnikova.

The name of the company was taken from the first letters of the three founders’ surnames (MMM) But like MMM Global, the Nigerian scheme is also a pyramid marketing scheme where an investor gets a 30 per cent return on investment.

Around the world, MMM is feared. In January 2016 the Chinese government banned MMM on the grounds that it is a pyramid scheme, (Ponzi scheme), and it is not registered in the country (and as a fraudulent scheme cannot be registered.

An online medium gave Mbanefo’s address as 1 ROYAL STREET, LINDBERG PARK, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.

On the 15th of July, Mbanefo was awarded a certificate of completion of an online course titled ‘MMM Guiders School’.

The certificate was supposedly signed by Sergei Mavrodi himself. He has since given himself the nickname the ‘Super Guider of MMM’.

To share news and information about MMM, Ernest also operates a subdomain ‘news.mmm-nigeria.net. The site praises him and projects him as the leader of the Ponzi Scheme in Nigeria.

He is described as: “MMM Nigeria Super Guider; Pastor Ernest Mbanefo, has been selflessly helping thousands of MMM Nigeria Participants whether or not they fall under his downline structure. The brain behind the MMM NIGERIA REVOLUTION operation has been working selflessly and tirelessly towards the education, information and proper guidance for the MMM Nigeria Community’, NAN stated.

The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN has warned Nigerians not to participate in the scheme, saying it is not registered with relevant agencies.

Handcuffed and slumped against his car, this is the first image of a dad who shot dead an NFL star in a suspected road rage incident.

Running back Joe McKnight, 28, died at the scene after blasted a number of times in a suburb of New Orleans.

Ronald Gasser, a 54-year-old local father, has been named by police as the shooter.

He stayed at the scene and handed a gun to police before being arrested.

It is not known whether either man got out the car, but one woman told the Times-Picayune Gasser shot McKnight then shouted: "I told you don't you f*** with me".

He then fired a second time.

McKnight, 28, played college football for USC, and then went on to play for the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said: "The two vehicles came to stop at this location, side by side."

"The only thing that we know, at this point in time, and everything else would be conjecture, as we are interviewing a number of witnesses, as well as Mr Gasser, is that Mr Gasser did in fact shoot Mr McKnight.

"We will be releasing additional details as we get through these interviews."

McKnight was currently playing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League.

Roughriders president and CEO Craig Reynolds issued a statement saying: "We are saddened to hear of the tragic loss of Joe McKnight.

Outrage after judge brands sex attack victim kidnapped on street as 'foolish' for drinking too much

A top judge is facing criticism after he 'blamed' a woman who was sexually assaulted and almost kidnapped off the street, labelling her 'foolish' for becoming very drunk and leaving herself open to an attack.

The 20-year-old victim was pounced on by teenager Yaqoob Alanezy, who put his arms around her, kissed her and then dragged her 30 yards down a street.

Mr Justice Gilbart caused outrage in sentencing Alanezy, saying there was no excuse for the attack but people had to take responsibility for their safety when on nights out, the Manchester Evening News reports.

The High Court judge said the victim only had a 'befuddled recollection of events' adding: "I’m sure it was a frightening incident. She got very, very drunk. It doesn’t excuse what happened, but people have to make sure they protect themselves and guard against this - she made herself very vulnerable.

"The law seeks to protect victims such as this from their own foolishness."

He added: "(The complainant) had got herself drunk, was in a public place, unable to protect herself and the law must be seen to protect vulnerable people from being picked on by those who spot their vulnerability and choose to attack them."

Mr Justice Gilbart's comments were unnecessary and disturbing, according to Fay Maxted, chief executive of The Survivors Trust, which supports victims of sexual abuse.


She said: “This is something that has been going on for decades, this victim blaming as opposed to looking at the behaviour of the perpetrator.

"Research has shown time and time again that attitudes towards victims from judges and barristers can be really punishing.

Comments like the ones made in court can deter victims from coming forward, Ms Maxted added.

She said: “So much effort is put into encouraging people to report these crimes and so for one to get to court and to see the judge victim blaming is just disturbing.

"If you report a burglary people don’t criticise you for leaving the curtains open. It should not be happening.

"The person who is at fault is the one who has taken advantage of someone vulnerable.”


Alanezy, 18, was given 22 months in a young offenders institution after pleading guilty at Manchester Crown Court to sexual assault and kidnap - relating to the period where he dragged the woman along the road.

He attacked the victim after their paths crossed at in the Victoria Park area of south Manchester in the early hours of August 20. He dragged her down the street before they both fell to the floor.

The incident was stopped by a passer-by who saw the victim trying to push Alanezy off her as he lay on top of her in the street.

The concerned witness shouted 'oi' and ran over, prompting Alanezy to leave the scene.

The mum of a schoolboy killed by a speeding taxi driver told how he kissed her goodbye before he was killed in the horror smash.

Amar Atwal was just 12 years old when he died after suffering internal injuries in the crash in Hollyhedge Road, West Bromwich.

But even in death the much-loved Great Barr schoolboy helped others - with FIVE people benefiting from organ donations reports the Birmingham Mail .

Birmingham Crown Court heard the youngster, who attended Queen Mary’s Grammar School in Walsall, died in the crash last May. Two other relatives suffered horrific injuries.

Taxi driver Nadeem Hussain, 35, was jailed for six years after a jury found him guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

Mrs Atwal, who has one other son, is now campaigning to ensure everybody understands the dangers of not wearing seat belts. She added: “I don’t want anybody else to go through what we have been through.”

EU Police Report Highlights Ongoing IS Threat to Europe

The Islamic State group is likely to carry out new attacks in the European Union in the near future, probably targeting countries that are members of the U.S.-led coalition fighting the extremist organization in Syria and Iraq, EU police agency Europol said in a report published Friday.

"Estimates from some intelligence services indicate several dozen people directed by IS may be currently present in Europe with a capability to commit terrorist attacks," according to the report, which draws on counterterrorism intelligence from around Europe and also cites media reports and previously publicized calls by IS leaders for attacks.

But IS also is adept at inspiring marginalized youths, some of whom may have mental health problems, and inciting them to carry out attacks.

The report also warns that tactics the group uses in Iraq and Syria — such as the use of car bombs — could also be deployed in Europe. It also said that past attacks such as those in France and Belgium over the last two years show that extremists acting in the name of IS can effectively plan complex attacks.

Europol also notes a shift in attacks from symbolic targets like police officers and military personnel to indiscriminate attacks on soft targets, such as the Paris attacks in 2015.

"Indiscriminate attacks have a very powerful effect on the public in general, which is one of the main goals of terrorism: to seriously intimidate a population," the report says, adding that the focus on so-called soft targets means that attacking critical infrastructure like power grids and nuclear facilities is "currently not a priority."

Europol also says that the consensus among intelligence agencies in EU member states is that "the cyber capabilities of terrorist groups are still relatively low," but adds that "the possibility of terrorist-affiliated cyber groups engaging in cyber warfare sponsored by Nation States - those with capacities to engage in this type of attacks - should not be discounted."

Meanwhile, a police raid in Morocco in February may have thwarted a possible attack by an IS cell using chemical or biological weapons, raising the specter that such weapons also could be used in Europe, though the report says automatic firearms, knives and vehicles are more easily available and that "The effectiveness, ease of use and access of these weapons will continue to be relevant."
