When does MMM-2011 collapse?

New financial pyramid Mathematics Sergey Mavrodi "MMM-2011"-"We can do a lot!" - The regions and the near abroad are rapidly capturing. In the Kursk region, for example, local deputies are engaged in its advance. The regional authorities resist the invasion, but the effect of this is rather the opposite: Mavrodi adherents go to rallies in support of the pyramid, in their number these shares are comparable or exceed the rallies "for honest elections." PublicPost tried to understand what the reasons for the success of the new financial pyramid of Sergei Mavrodi, from the actions of which depositors in the 90s suffered.

How the system works

An instructive video is waiting for those who have entered the site of the Kursk branch of MMM: someone in a white coat puts in an empty three -liter jar of living fleas, and then covers the jar with a lid. After 3 days, the lid is removed, but not a single flea can jump out - the limit of freedom is indicated for it. "Watching? About whom is this? About the fleas? Or about us born in the bank?" - says the signature. A practical advice is also given immediately: "Leave the circle and live without limiting yourself to an imaginary lid."

The structure of the new pyramid, unlike the organization of the 90s, is outwardly extremely transparent. Participants are promised from 20% monthly, the main condition is to invest in money and redeem bonds called Mavro. Where will such interest come from? At the expense of newly arrived participants. In order to get the money, the pyramid participant must cite new participants from the contributions of which these same interest will be formed.

A person who decided to invest money is associated with his tenant. The tenfold is controlled by the centurion, the centurion - the thousand -man, the thousand -man - the dungeon. At the head of the entire system is the manager. The influx of money goes through the constant attracting new people buying Mavrorups, Mavroevro or Mavrodollar. The withdrawal of the money is controlled by the same tenants and centurions - the payment of small amounts does not require special approval, for all other issues it is strictly punished to apply to Sergey Mavrodi. All calculations go electronically, the money is transferred to the depositor's credit card. Differers can clearly measure the amount of their possible income, using the " calculator of happiness ."

Mavrodi himself cannot explain how his system works: "Hove knows how!" However, according to him, the scheme was also successful at the time of MMM: “As it turned out, I don’t know. And I don’t understand. I am like an illiterate ALLADIN, who found a magic lamp. He rubbed the genie. He fulfilled all his desires. And again he hid in the lamp. But where did this genie come and what his nature, Alladin is unknown.” Mavrodi does not hide that the construction of the pyramid is only part of its large -scale plan. "My goal is a financial apocalypse! The world financial system is unfair, and it must be destroyed. And it will be destroyed. I will do it. We will do all this," the program of the founding father MMM says .

The reaction of the authorities to "MMM"

The Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service is the only organization that drew attention to the activities of the new MMM and is trying to counteract it. But claims are not presented to MMM, but to those firms and entrepreneurs who placed the pyramid advertisement in their advertising sites. This happened in Nizhny Novgorod, where the case was instituted against LLC Promo . In Yekaterinburg, the antitrust service made a statement that the information on the shields violated the law "On Advertising", and opened a case of an administrative offense. In response to this, on March 10, not only local investors came to the rally, but also the followers of Mavrodi from Israel, Canada and other countries. The action , according to various sources, collected from three to five thousand participants.



In Kazan, several cases were instituted at once on the MMM advertising. In Perm, the OFAS opened a case against LLC UK Rio Grande for placing advertising MMM. In Penza, 3 cases on MMM advertising were instituted , one of which was initiated against the individual entrepreneur A. Mikhailov. His advertising posters depict a guardian of order, who says: “Brieves? You laugh, I’m at MMM. In Volgograd, the new people’s movement has filed a lawsuit for advertising“ MMM ”, but in January 2012 the Central District Court of Volgograd did not see the actions of the MMM system of the financial pyramid or prohibited advertising. In Novosibirsk, one thing was initiated by illegal advertising "MMM".

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not commented on the situation, however, it is known at least one case when the police began to take measures : operatives of the management of economic security and anti-corruption of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Sverdlovsk region began the search for organizers and participants in the MMM-2011 financial system. This happened after the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region Alexei Korobeinikov filed an application with the police. In St. Petersburg, another situation-the editors of Piter.tv sent a request for the activities of MMM to the police, but they were denied a criminal case against Sergei Mavrodi, since the audit did not find any reason to bring him to criminal liability.

The championship in the number of adherents of Mavrodi in the CIS countries holds Ukraine. And in Latvia, the mayor of Riga Neil Ushakov " stiffly opposed MMM." "Advertising" MMM "with Mavrodi in Riga is absolutely unacceptable. In the coming days, a legal decision will be found so that posters disappear from the streets of the capital," he said.

In Belarus, in the actions of MMM, they first did not see crime. This was announced at the end of February by the head of the Main Directorate for Combating the Economic Crimes of the Criminal Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus, Police Colonel Eduard Nikitin. However, on March 18, the KGB special forces stormed the MMM-2011 office in Minsk. The KGB "Interfax" said that as part of pre -investigation, persons involved in the activities of the financial pyramid were detained, arrested bank accounts, computers and office equipment.



Look at "mmm" from the inside

Alexey Muratov, deputy of the City Duma, Kurchatov, leading engineer at the Kursk NPP:

“Yes, this is a financial pyramid, this is said to everyone. Everyone is warned that they can lose money the very next day: today they entered, invested money, and tomorrow - neither Sergey Mavrodi, nor a pyramid, nor a tenant, nor money of yours. But people who invest money, a completely different attitude to the system, for them, this is a cash desk of mutual assistance. The person who enters there to all means of the system, all the participants in the system. He determines the size of the amount for himself how much he is ready to sacrifice for society, for the system, for the people around him free of charge, irrevocably, without any rules, without nothing!



And after some time, the system unfolds face to him and opens access to the means of all participants of MMM-2011, helping this person in life. And all these interest, terms, deposits are made only in order to streamline, structure, so that it is easier to understand who, how much and when to pay. Each is involved only in the amount that he is ready to risk. Believe me that people do not sell their apartments and do not stay on the street later. Everyone perfectly understands the risks. " (The full version of the interview with Muratov Publicpost read in his blog ) .

The opinion of experts

Sergey Gorbachev, lawyer, managing partner of the Moscow Bar Association "Legis Group":

"The authorities proceed from the fact that there is not a single statement on behalf of the financial pyramid, since no harm is caused, the authorities do not consider it possible to respond. Nevertheless, Mavrodi's activities are assigned to financial pyramids and, of course, the authorities must take some measures to prevent the money of citizens' funds.

The arrest of Mavrodi is not related to his main activity in any case - the state has no legal grounds yet. The possibilities for holding it liable are sought by the most diverse and arising from other legal relations than legal relations related to financial pyramids. "

Alexander Osin, chief economist of the Criminal Code "Finam Management":

"The difference between the system and the previous version is that it positions itself directly as a product of investors' trust and does not even promise to reinvestment.

The system will function until the first decline in the economy, presumably until 2014 or 2015. In the conditions of correction of the global monetary mass of consumption, the MMM system will be among the first under the blow, since trust in it is not provided with a powerful state and corporate resource. Again, after the decline, the system can again resume its activities in a new growing market. ”

Oleg Grigoryev, senior economist of the Neocon Expert Consultation company:

"The new pyramid differs from the previous one in that Mavrodi does not hide the fact that it is a pyramid. It dawned on everyone that the whole financial world is the world of pyramids. Everyone understands that it is a pyramid, everyone now understands what principles they participate in it. I even talked with the participants of this pyramid, there are no illusions. Most know that the pyramid is expected, but, nevertheless, they expect that they are in time for the pyramid that they have time for the pyramid. The pyramid has not collapsed by the previous one - full frankness.

Publicpost was going to talk with Mavrodi himself. We sent mathematics a list of questions, the first of which was about possible arrest. On the same day, the founder of MMM was arrested in the case of a non -payment of a fine of 1000 rubles. In total, the entrepreneur should pay about 300 such fines. The lawyer of Sergei Mavrodi Alexander Molokhov told PublicPost that the next trial of the entrepreneur will be held on March 19. "Mavrodi want to arrest again. We hope to interfere with this. The court will be held in his absence, 10 administrative cases will be considered, for each he can get 15 days, 150 days," Molokhov said. Mavrodi will not be present in court, since after the hunger strike he had been announced after the arrest of the hunger strike, he had a heart attack and he got to the hospital.
