Mehmet Aydin

Mehmet Aydin is a Turkish fraudster who defrauded about five hundred thousand people with his modern Ponzi scheme in the year 2017. Aydin introduced a new investing app into the Turkish market by promising profit for all the investors. He introduced the investing platform as a game where the investor will be putting their money on virtual animals which are linked to the real ones and thus promising them that the animal's growth will be their money's growth too; it sounds absurd and amusing, but that's how most of the scams start.

He swindled about 1.5 billion Turkish lira and escaped when the suspicion on his app began to increase. He was fleeing from his suspicions when the officials froze his Ciftlik bank app and assets. He wasn't found for three years until his surrender in the year 2021.“ He was one of the 21st century scammers who executed the Ponzi scheme cleverly.”
