Background

Vastrapur, Gujarat based Tornado Software Pvt Ltd also called mlm4india.com and mlmmirror.com use to web design and development but followed the wrong path and setup ponzi scheme.

Collapse

Alarmed at the Rs 3,700 crore Ponzi scam orchestrated by Anubhav Mittal's socialtrade.biz, which involved over six lakh investors, panic gripped investors who have put their money in similar 'pay per click' plans of other companies. So some companies like these suspended operations or some started refunding investors, while others asked investors to opt for bitcoin. In this case, Tornado also started returning money as bank transfer^[1] but it didn't last long and it collapsed on 20 March 2017.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Criminal prosecution and ongoing investigations
