Meet the South Pacific Ponzi King With a Bogus Bank — and a Global Fan Club

This report recounts how Benjamin Young’s Internet Catalogue Club aligned with Noah Musingku’s Bougainville Kingdom (BVK/IBOM) to promote high-yield investment accounts funded by promissory notes, IBOEs, Iraqi dinars, and in-house tokens, spreading globally via sovereign-citizen talking points and religious appeals. It highlights investor losses (e.g., over $330,000 tied to an Iowa adviser), the ICC’s role in operating IBOM’s website and outreach, and eventual legal consequences for promoters, framing the episode as a transnational financial fraud scheme rather than a cyber incident.
