MTI Trading International provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.
MTI Trading International’s website domain (“mtitradinginternational.com”) was privately registered on June 9th, 2020.
Despite only coming into existence a few months ago, MTI Trading International falsely claims it has been around since 2016.
As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Conclusion
Things must be bleak in some quarters if we’ve got Ponzi schemes ripping off Ponzi schemes.
From the name to claiming to be “headquartered in South Africa in 2016”, MTI Trading International is obviously borrowing from Mirror Trading International.
Mirror Trading International is a Ponzi scheme launched last year. It’s headed up by Johann Steynberg, who operates out of South Africa.
Note that MTI Trading International seems to be a bit confused about their fake origin, as the company also states it
is officially registered in 2012 and its activities extend to the territory of England and Wales and beyond.
MTI Trading International amusingly attempts to support this claim by providing a blank UK incorporation certificate, dated April 2012.
Differentiating itself from Mirror Trading International, MTI Trading International claims to generate external revenue via cryptocurrency trading.
Like Mirror Trading International, no evidence of trading or external revenue being used to pay withdrawals is provided.
That leaves new investment as MTI Trading International’s only verifiable source of revenue.
Using new investment to pay advertised returns makes MTI Trading International a Ponzi scheme.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, when affiliate recruitment slows down so too will new investment.
This will starve MTI Trading International of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
