The next pyramid of Sergei Mavrodi-the Internet project "MMM-2011"-fell upon. On the last day of Spring, Mavrodi announced the suspension of payments to participants. The troubles of the creators of the pyramid began after the initiation of a series of administrative and criminal cases - in Belarus, in Ukraine, in Russia. The closure of Ukrainian offices of MMM-2011, which provided up to 40% of all funds entering the system-and the account there went to hundreds of millions of dollars, turned out to be especially painful. In the financial pyramid, MMM-2011 participated, according to its organizers, about 35 million people. Mavrodi himself commented on the incident maximum cynically: “Anyway, there will not be enough money for everyone. Pyramid! If everyone rushes to withdraw, there can not be enough money for everyone in principle. ” At the same time, Mavrodi announced the launch of a new project-“MMM-2012”, which will attract funds according to the same rules, but at greater interest. As they say, the pyramid died, long live the pyramid!
