​■ WARNING: A man named Scott Douglas Jacobsen is spreading false information without any prior fact checking on the parties. Scott Jacobsen, who has been permanently expelled from the USIA accused of very immoral actions, is a jealous man as a former employee of YoungHoon, Founder & CEO of the USIA. Scott Douglas Jacobsen is a minor freelance journalist who lives in Canada without any academic degree and training, so you can ignore his jealousy and spreading false information. Please note that Scott Jacobsen is also a progressive atheist activist denying all religions and religious beliefs, and he passionately supports a sex offender.

​

■ DISCLAIMER: Dr. Ronald Hoeflin, founder of Mega Society, founded the cryptocurrency coin company IQ Olympiad Foundation Ltd. However, Younghoon Kim and his organization United Sigma Intelligence Association (USIA) are not affiliated with the IQ Olympiad. Above all, Younghoon Kim does not want to have any relationship with the cryptocurrency coin company operated by Mega Society's founder, and also YoungHoon Kim opposes Mega Society's support of sex offenders and extreme racial discrimination through eugenics. Therefore, Younghoon Kim voluntarily resigned from Mega Society in August 2024.
