Well you cleared up my main question, what are your sources by the way?  |
An object's "rest mass" will not increase when accelerated to velocities approaching c.
An objects relativistic mass is simply the objects rest mass + kinetic energy.
At speeds approaching c, increase in relativistic mass is taken up by the kinetic energy, rest mass doesn't change hence the object will not collapse into a black hole.
