MTI CEO goes missing as clients struggle to withdraw funds

Why bother with journalism then if you are so afraid of being taken on?

Once again completely misguided. You are, in fact, asking the journalist to step outside of "journalism" and act as judge and jury. There are rules which govern how we can report on things, and calling someone a fraud without a court ruling is not journalism - it is the opposite.

Look at the twaddle about Rain. You publish the CEO's propaganda without so much as a question of the numerous complaints their service is obviously oversold and how he can make claims about being ready for holiday traffic.

I really fail to understand why you make these accusations. Here is an article about the Rain issue. We even threw in a few graphs to back our argument:

Rain’s fall from grace

Rain used to be a consumer champion with high customer satisfaction rates, but it has now been rated the worst service provider in South Africa.

Oh noes! Say this ain't so. Peoples not able to withdraw their EPIC gains... How can this be?

fly-by-night, was bound to happen, just strange it happened this way.

So you couldn't question their statement which is total and utter rubbish using some facts from the almost 500 page SECOND thread about MTI?

And if do conclude that they are talking crap, which they are, why publish their rubbish statement as you did?

Youve proven my point here. The fall from grace article, then that paid for crap where you let the CEO spew propaganda without so much as questioning him about their "fall from grace" thus concluding he is talking crap too.

I call it like i see it.

At what point did Steynberg (allegedly) fly to Brazil (with SA as his starting point?), isn't Brazil a no go zone due to COVID-19?

I'm still not clear on what's going on there: was his destination São Paulo with a stopover in Doha, and he was due to return to SA on the 22nd?

Whatever his travels plans were, how dare he be allowed to travel anywhere, report Steynberg to NDZ for breaking her disastrous regulations, have him arrested at the airport international arrivals terminal, preferably whilst he is still on the plane, also check to see if he has been sharing his saliva with anyone (that's a serious violation of the NDZ rules and regulations).

Quarantine his arse for about 50 years.

Which statement are you referring to?

More or less the entire MTI statement can be poked full of holes based on what ive read and seen via screenshots posted in the MTI thread on this forum. Unless of course everyone in that thread is lying and all evidence posted is fabricated.

Have people from MTI themselves posted in there?

 

[WollieVerstege]

I saw that. Parroting that in this context (without a court judgement) is still dangerous. I'll ask around to see if there's a way to use that statement.

From what I recall he did not say MTI is a ponzi, he said that "ponzi" might be the right word to use in the context of MTI, or something like that.
So even the head of the FSCA did not ckne straight out and call MTI a ponzi.

No I have not proven your point. In fact, it is the inverse - I showed you are wrong and that you are not willing to admit it.

I can, however, see that you do not like MyBroadband's reporting. In these cases I can always strongly advise that you find a publication which suits you better. No need to be frustrated daily - just find a better publication and move on.

 

[RedViking]

This is why I have no respect for MyBB reporting. Besides the paid for aricles/advertisements, then there is this crap. It was a fcking Ponzi scheme and the boss has run away. Call it for what it is.

Hello Cheri. Want some Lindt?

But wait.....this bitcoin stuff is not as unsafe as usual money... remember?

 

[Jan]

why publish their rubbish statement as you did?

(a) Once again, the statement was published with context.
(b) So there is a public record of it without having to trawl a 500-page thread.
(c) And to keep people informed (who can't follow the multiple 500-page threads), of course.

Technically I said "was" as in my opinion they dont exist anymore. Money is gone. Only the odd lookout left. All the guys who made serious money have scrubbed their social media platforms of any MTI related information.

I was just echoing what more or less every single user in the MTI thread has concluded based on evidence and common sense.

No clue why you replied to me, but you sound like an MTI shill who is trying to attack one of the key organizations that was involved in the downfall of MTI.
So bugger off. I see you for what you are and I hope your downlines sue you for every penny you have.

OK, fair enough. I concede that. Just a quick question. Perhaps this will put my argument to rest. Do you think of yourselves as journalists or not? Like in the Carte Blanche type sense.

MTI's downfall is because they stole money from thousands of people. Reporting on it, doesn't make you a "key organizations that was involved in the downfall of MTI."

Now piss off and let the grown ups talk.

Yup MTI shill for sure.

Same style of interacting with people. Saw many of your types come and go on the main MTI threads.

What you seem to ignore is that MBB also allowed its platform to be used to create a collective effort from people to inform others about the dangers of MTI. The dishonest wiki was spawned from MBB and I am aware of several people that other did not invest or withdrew their money because of that wiki. No new money, ponzi fails. Not rocket science.
