"Do you know that Chuddy Ugorji made over N5bn within a year? I heard that he has relocated to Philippine as MMM ask members to provide help before they can get their money. Odikwa risky o!” a Facebook user Smith Ibe wrote.
The reports are not confirmed and they are resurfacing about a month after Chuddy denied them and also told Nigerians that he was in the same ship with them as a guider when the accounts of participants were frozen.
He said: "MMM founder is a Russian Sergey Mavrodi not a Philippines .i have never been to Philippines, the stories about going to the Philippines are untrue. i stand for the true ideology of MMM which is anchored on providing and getting help willingly.”
Chuddy also recently denied reports that he was the brains behind a new Ponzi scheme called Naija Help Givers. According to a disclaimer Chuddy posted on his Facebook page on January 6, 2017, he denied knowing anything about the new scheme.
