  • With inequality growing exponentially over the past decades, people around the world have assumed massive debts. In Indonesia, a mysterious cult with the impressive name Swissindo World Trust International Orbit has attracted a global following for its promise to magically make one's debts go away.
    The group is led by Soegihartonotonegoro, a charismatic leader who calls himself M1, and presents himself as a godlike figure who can erase the world’s debt due to a seemingly limitless ancient inheritance. To find out the truth behind this bizarre story, VICE Indonesia correspondent Arzia traveled to visit the Swissindo Headquarters in Cirebon, Indonesia, and interviewed M1, and his followers.
    We also met with the manager of a local bank that had been targeted by Swissindo for its debt services, and a client of Swissindo's whose experience with the group was not exactly as anticipated.

      VICE Didn’t any of them realize that if you gave everyone in the world $6 million, the value of the dollar will drop and $6 million will essentially be worthless because, “everyone has it”. How much would you have to pay someone to cut your grass if everyone had $6 million. There has to be a separation of classes in society, some people live in comfort, some people do the dirty work. This SKew in lifestyle is a natural balance. The accumulation of great wealth is merely a side effect of any Currency based monetary system. Of course, I’m a capitalist/libertarian, and I know most vice readers are democratic Anarchists/socialists. But competition and wit go along way in society, even in societies that try to prevent it.

He owned some land and gathered followeres around him with promises of jobs, houses and indendency. Lots joined his cult, many of those had debts in Germany and claimed Germany as county doesn't exist, therefor they don't have to pay their debts LOL !
    Long story short, he even created his own driver licencense, passports and money. But when he created his own bank and took money from people in exchange for his fantasy money, it didn't took long to take him to prison.
    These cults are based on fantasy and false promises, never last long.

There was one person from Babahoyo, Ecuador, he was tied by debt around 2000 USD (Ecuador use USD as national currency) and then one of his friend suggested him to access Swissindo website to find a solution for his debt. So he opened the website, then that website told him to pay 1500 USD. He unconsciously desperately find that money then pay to the bank account which the website told him so. Then boom... he got fraud and report to Indonesia embassy for solution.

    The biggest problem with the world right now is the rise in debt dependency. In the US alone credit rating is important for a lot of things like house mortgage. This is forcing people who don't want debt or too dumb to manage money to buy stuff with credit. One stumble and they will live with big debt in their life and possibly falling for this kind of cult.

    What he said at the beginning is essentially true, but his appeal to stop injustice, slavery, alienation due to money, isn't really about dept, but usury and interest slavery. They don't seem to know about Marx, or economics, or that the human cost of money is an old problem which spans human history. This documentary is focusing on the wrong stuff, choosing to explore the obviously fraudulent proof they present, which isn't worth investigating. Those claims are irrelevant a priori, even if we accept some points, most of which either don't follow, or fail to make sense within the logic of their own system. If we take this "paper trail" so seriously, something that could easily be mistaken for parody, we are actually directing attention away from the tragic reality these people inhabit, and what's really going on. This kind of just fans the flames--not so much an exposé. The approach just seems off, and has a serious tone which grants a kind of respect to the cult.

    While the cult is obviously crazy, I am able to emphasize with the overall sentiment.

These fringe groups are just a warning sign for what's to come if income inequality gets any worse.

He had an Indian name and had an old show that still ran on public access occasionally until they got rid of that channel. I know he did a stint in prison for tax evasion. Can anyone remember his name?-- it would be interesting to see the parallels
