What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Bruce Calvin Deck 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 Bruce Calvin Deck - 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

As an investigative journalist, I embarked on a deep dive into the murky waters surrounding Bruce Calvin Deck—a name that, for many, might not ring a bell, but perhaps should. My mission was straightforward: to unearth any red flags and adverse media associated with Deck and his related entities, and to understand the lengths he might be going to keep such information under wraps. What I discovered was a tapestry of regulatory run-ins, questionable practices, and attempts to sidestep scrutiny that should give any potential investor serious pause.

A History Marred by Regulatory Sanctions

Our story begins in Prince George, British Columbia, where Deck once operated under the banner of TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. In 2007, the Investment Dealers Association of Canada (IDA) imposed disciplinary penalties on Deck, amounting to a hefty $138,212. The charges? Deck admitted to violations that, while not specified in the public domain, were severe enough to warrant such a substantial fine and a two-year suspension.

Fast forward to 2014, and Deck’s name surfaces again—this time in Ontario. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) issued an alert advising investors against entering into investment management agreements with Wealth Stewards Portfolio Management Inc. (WSPMi) and its principals, Sushila Lucas and none other than Bruce Calvin Deck. The OSC had suspended the firm’s registration, effectively barring them from advising others on securities. Notably, Deck was not registered to advise in securities in any Canadian jurisdiction at the time of this decision.

In response, Deck and Lucas appealed the OSC’s decision, a move that, while within their rights, raises questions about their commitment to regulatory compliance.

The Art of Concealment: Attempts to Censor Adverse Information

It’s one thing to have a checkered past; it’s another to actively attempt to erase it. Sources indicate that Deck has made concerted efforts to suppress negative information about his professional conduct. Such attempts at censorship are not just ethically dubious but also counterproductive. The Streisand Effect—a phenomenon where attempts to hide information only amplify its visibility—comes to mind.

In today’s digital age, adverse media screening has become a cornerstone of due diligence. Financial institutions and investors alike rely on comprehensive checks to unearth any negative information that could signal potential risks. These screenings delve into news articles, blogs, social media, legal notices, and public records to paint a full picture of an individual’s or entity’s background.

Deck’s alleged attempts to censor such information suggest an acute awareness of the potential damage to his reputation and, by extension, his business dealings. However, these very efforts to conceal adverse media can serve as red flags themselves, indicating a pattern of behavior that is far from transparent.

Implications for Potential Investors

For those considering any form of investment or partnership with Deck or his associated entities, these revelations should serve as glaring warning signs. Regulatory sanctions, attempts to dodge compliance, and efforts to censor negative information collectively paint a portrait of an individual who operates in the shadows of the financial industry.

Investors are urged to conduct thorough due diligence, leveraging adverse media screening tools to uncover any hidden risks. Engaging with entities that have a history of regulatory infractions and a penchant for secrecy is akin to navigating a minefield—one misstep could lead to significant financial loss.

A Call to Action for Regulatory Bodies

The onus isn’t solely on investors. Regulatory bodies must remain vigilant, ensuring that individuals like Deck are held accountable for their actions. Continuous monitoring and swift action are essential to maintain the integrity of financial markets and protect unsuspecting investors from potential malfeasance.

Bruce Calvin Deck’s professional journey is a cautionary tale of how regulatory violations, coupled with attempts at censorship, can culminate in a precarious reputation. His history serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and compliance in the financial industry. Investors and regulatory authorities alike must remain vigilant, ensuring that those who operate in the financial sector do so with integrity and accountability.

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.
