FTC sues IM Mastery Academy (Iyovia) for $1.2 bill fraud
Last November the long-running forex scam IM Mastery Academy rebooted as Iyovia.
No official reason was given for the rebranding, prompting me to speculate;
If I had to guess, IM Mastery Academy rebranding as Iyovia probably signals we’re getting close to the outcome of the FTC’s investigation.
On May 1st the FTC and Nevada filed a joint suit against IM Mastery Academy, alleging over $1.2 billion in fraud. [Continue reading…]

Bellator instructs promoters to hide use of Ingenico

Such is the case with Bellator but… it’s complicated. [Continue reading…]
Ricky’s Booster Review: USB mining booster ruse Ponzi
Ricky’s Booster fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
Ricky’s Booster operates from two known website domains:
- rickybooster.com – privately registered January 22nd, 2025 (Korean registrar)
- rickysbooster.com – privately registered on November 19th, 2024
In fact as I write this, Ricky’s Booster’s website homepages are nothing more than a login form:
Further reveals what appears to be an official Ricky’s Booster YouTube channel, on which we find a CEO video:
Rickys Booster is represented to be headed up by “Ricky Seo”, a seemingly random South Korean crypto bro.
This tracks with Korean appearing in Rickys Booster’s website source-code:
Of note is Ricky’s Booster marketing being conducted through “Crypto Astronaut”, using the Twitter handle “@CryptoAs_TW”.
Crypto Astronaut pitches itself as an “advertising & marketing agency”. In reality it’s a crypto scam shill factory.
Crypto Astronaut seems to specialize in setting up “Q&A” marketing videos, featuring random actors.
It’s unclear whether the scammer(s) behind Crypto Astronaut is behind Ricky’s Booster but it’s highly likely.

HelpingHands Cash Review: MLM crypto gifting scheme
HelpingHands Cash fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.
HelpingHands Cash operates from three known website domains:
- helpinghands.cash – registered in October 2023, private registration last updated on November 1st, 2024
- helpinghands10x.cash – privately registered on January 27th, 2025
- helpinghandsrewards.com – privately registered on March 3rd, 2025
Further research reveals HelpingHands Cash’s official Telegram channel is run by by “Will F”. This syncs with HelpingHands Cash marketing videos being hosted by Parmy William.
In one marketing video, Parmy William claims to be HelpingHands Cash’s “creator [and] co-founder”.
Note “Parmy William” may be an alias. I was unable to find anything further (this might tie into “Will F” on Telegram).
