What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Blakely Page 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 Blakely Page - 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
Blakely Page’s professional journey has been punctuated by instances of misrepresentation that raise serious concerns about his integrity and reliability as a financial advisor. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) found that between October 2017 and October 2018, Page made negligent misrepresentations about the performance of an investment fund to prospective investors. Specifically, he distributed marketing materials containing inflated performance figures without verifying their accuracy, leading to a six-month suspension and a $5,000 fine .
The Downfall of Spouting Rock Capital Advisors
The repercussions of Page’s actions extended beyond personal sanctions. Spouting Rock Capital Advisors, where Page was a key figure, faced multiple lawsuits from lenders by October 2024, leading to its eventual closure. This collapse not only affected the firm’s employees but also left investors grappling with the fallout of mismanagement and potential financial losses.
Attempts at Digital Erasure
In the aftermath of these events, Page embarked on a mission to cleanse his online presence of negative coverage. He reportedly employed tactics such as submitting dubious copyright takedown notices to Google, aiming to remove or suppress unfavorable news articles and reviews. This strategy, often referred to as “reputation laundering,” involves manipulating digital platforms to present a sanitized version of one’s history .
The Mechanisms of Reputation Laundering
Reputation laundering exploits the mechanisms of search engines and content platforms to suppress negative information. By filing fraudulent copyright claims or court orders, individuals can compel platforms like Google to de-index or remove content, effectively burying unfavorable information from public view. This practice not only misleads the public but also undermines the integrity of information available online .
Implications for Investors and Regulatory Bodies
For investors, Page’s actions underscore the critical importance of thorough due diligence. Relying solely on online information, especially when it can be manipulated, is fraught with risk. It’s imperative to seek out multiple sources, verify claims independently, and remain vigilant for signs of information suppression.
Regulatory bodies must also adapt to these evolving tactics. The digital landscape offers new avenues for obfuscation and deceit, necessitating robust mechanisms to detect and counteract reputation laundering. Ensuring the transparency and accuracy of publicly available information is paramount to maintaining trust in financial markets.
Conclusion
Blakely Page’s narrative serves as a stark reminder of the lengths to which individuals may go to conceal their misdeeds. His attempts to manipulate digital platforms to rewrite history not only highlight personal culpability but also expose systemic vulnerabilities in information dissemination. For the financial community and regulators, this case underscores the necessity of vigilance, integrity, and adaptability in the face of ever-evolving challenges.

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.

Hard to trust someone advising on millions when they couldn’t even fact-check their own fund’s performance numbers. Negligence or strategy? Either way, investors paid the price.
