What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Arjuna Samarakoon over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.

We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.

The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Arjuna Samarakoon - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.

In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

What are they trying to censor

Arjuna Samarakoon, A name that should ring alarm bells for authorities and investors alike. But somehow, despite years of fraudulent activity, this so-called “accountant” managed to siphon millions from taxpayers before finally getting caught. Of course, now he’s trying to bury his tracks scrubbing the internet, silencing critics, and doing whatever it takes to keep his name out of the headlines. But let’s face it, when you plead guilty to defrauding a government scheme of nearly $770,000, it’s a little hard to pretend you’re an innocent man.Arjuna Samarakoon was no ordinary tax agent. He was a highly skilled manipulator, an expert in financial deception, and a man with a sprawling web of sham companies. The fact that he was able to operate for so long without detection only proves how weak the system was at catching white-collar criminals like him.

Arjuna Samarakoon and the R&D Tax Fraud Scheme

The scam was simple yet devastating. Under the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive a $3 billion-a-year government program businesses could claim rebates for investing in research and innovation. A noble idea, right? Except Arjuna Samarakoon saw it as a golden opportunity to enrich himself at the expense of Australian taxpayers.Instead of helping legitimate businesses, Arjuna Samarakoon manufactured fraudulent claims, using a network of fake companies to siphon money into his personal accounts. According to Australian Federal Police (AFP) investigations, at least 40 companies were linked to his scam suggesting this was not just a simple oversight or accounting error but a meticulously orchestrated financial crime operation.And let’s not forget, Arjuna Samarakoon wasn’t just any fraudster. He was a repeat offender, already under investigation for multiple financial crimes. The AFP even alleged that some of the tax rebates were directly funneled into his private accounts at ANZ and Bendigo Bank, a textbook example of how white-collar criminals exploit financial loopholes while pretending to be legitimate business operators.

Arjuna Samarakoon and His Partners in Crime

It wasn’t just Arjuna Samarakoon running this racket. His business associate, Crystal Mavroyeni, was dragged into the mess as well, facing 73 charges for using forged documents. Meanwhile, investigators also linked him to Michael Pearce, a Sydney businessman with a history of multimillion-dollar fraud in the United States.Authorities eventually had to freeze multiple properties linked to him, including luxury homes in Glen Iris, St Kilda, and Port Melbourne all allegedly bought with the proceeds of crime.

Arjuna Samarakoon’s Desperate Attempts to Censor the Truth

Now that his empire of lies is collapsing, Arjuna Samarakoon is in full-blown damage control mode. He’s not just pleading guilty he’s also desperately trying to scrub his name from public records.It’s a classic tactic of white-collar criminals. First, commit fraud. Next, lawyer up. Finally, try to erase every trace of wrongdoing from the internet. Maybe he thinks if people stop talking about him, the authorities will forget too. Spoiler alert: they won’t.The irony is almost poetic. After years of manipulating the system for personal gain, Arjuna Samarakoon now wants to manipulate public perception, pretending he’s just another misunderstood businessman. But no amount of PR spin or legal threats can erase the cold, hard facts he defrauded Australian taxpayers, he got caught, and now he’s facing justice.

Red Flags Investors and Authorities Should Watch For

Suspiciously Complex Business Networks
Arjuna Samarakoon operated through at least 40 different business entities, a clear red flag for financial fraud. White-collar criminals often create multiple shell companies to move money between accounts, making it harder to trace the original source of funds. When a business structure looks overly complicated for no valid reason, it’s time to investigate.

A History of Financial Irregularities
Long before this R&D tax fraud, Arjuna Samarakoon was already on the radar for suspicious financial activities. Repeat offenders rarely change their ways; they just get better at covering their tracks. Anyone dealing with an individual or company should always check their past legal and financial history. If a person or business has been investigated before, it’s not a coincidence.

Large Sums of Money Flowing into Personal Accounts
One of the clearest indicators of fraud was the fact that millions in R&D rebates were funneled directly into Samarakoon’s private bank accounts. A legitimate business reinvests tax incentives into actual research. A fraudulent business, on the other hand, pays off personal debts and buys luxury properties.

Connections to Other Criminals
Arjuna Samarakoon wasn’t working alone. He was linked to Crystal Mavroyeni, Michael Pearce, and other known fraudsters. Criminals rarely operate in isolation, and business ties to individuals with a shady past should always be a major warning sign.

Attempts to Erase Negative Information
The most telling red flag is what happens after the crime is exposed. Arjuna Samarakoon is actively trying to suppress information about his fraud. Honest people defend themselves with evidence; fraudsters try to erase the evidence. When someone starts threatening lawsuits, filing take-down requests, or pressuring journalists, it’s a good indication that they have something to hide.Arjuna Samarakoon isn’t just about one fraudster it’s about a deeply flawed system that enables white-collar criminals to exploit government programs with minimal oversight. If 40 companies connected to him were under investigation, how many more fraudsters are still out there gaming the system?For investors, any business linked to Arjuna Samarakoon should be treated as radioactive. The sheer scale of his fraud, combined with his network of shady business associates, means that any financial involvement with his ventures is a disaster waiting to happen.And for regulators, this case should serve as a wake-up call. If a single accountant can pull off millions in fraud over multiple years, what does that say about the government’s ability to monitor financial crimes?

Arjuna Samarakoon thought he could outsmart the system. He thought he could steal millions, launder the money, and walk away untouched. But reality finally caught up with him.Now, as he faces sentencing and desperately tries to rewrite history, one thing is clear no amount of legal maneuvering or reputation management can change the truth. Arjuna Samarakoon is a convicted fraudster, and the only thing left for him to decide is whether to accept the consequences or keep pretending he’s the victim.Either way, his days of scamming taxpayers are over.

How This Was Done

The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

What Happens Next?

Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
