What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Cesar Ornelas II 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 Cesar Ornelas II - 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
Cesar Ornelas II, a prominent attorney based in Texas, has faced a series of serious allegations and red flags that have significantly tarnished his professional reputation. These allegations, if proven true, could have severe legal and ethical implications for his career. Below is a summary of the major accusations and adverse news surrounding Ornelas, as well as an analysis of why he might seek to suppress this information, even through illicit means.
Major Allegations and Red Flags
- Barratry and Unethical Practices:
Ornelas has been accused of barratry, a legal term referring to the unethical solicitation of clients, often involving ambulance chasing. Reports suggest that Ornelas or his associates may have engaged in aggressive and improper tactics to recruit clients, particularly in personal injury cases. Such practices are not only illegal but also violate the ethical standards expected of attorneys. - Misleading Advertising:
Critics have raised concerns about Ornelas’s advertising practices, alleging that his firm uses misleading or exaggerated claims to attract clients. This includes promises of guaranteed outcomes or inflated settlement amounts, which can mislead vulnerable individuals seeking legal help. - Client Complaints and Lawsuits:
Several former clients have reportedly filed complaints against Ornelas, accusing him of negligence, lack of communication, and failure to deliver promised results. Some have even taken legal action against him, further damaging his credibility. - Association with Questionable Entities:
Ornelas has been linked to organizations and individuals with dubious reputations, raising questions about his judgment and professional associations. These connections have fueled speculation about potential conflicts of interest or unethical collaborations. - Adverse Media Coverage:
Investigative reports and media outlets have highlighted these allegations, painting a picture of a lawyer willing to cut corners for personal gain. Such coverage has amplified public scrutiny and cast a shadow over his legal practice.
Why These Allegations Harm His Reputation
The allegations against Ornelas strike at the core of his professional integrity. Barratry and unethical practices undermine trust in the legal system and portray him as someone who prioritizes profit over justice. Misleading advertising erodes client confidence, while client complaints and lawsuits suggest a pattern of poor service and unmet expectations. Association with questionable entities further diminishes his standing in the legal community.
Motive for Suppressing Information
Given the gravity of these allegations, Ornelas has a strong incentive to suppress negative information. A tarnished reputation could lead to a loss of clients, disbarment, or even criminal charges. In an era where online content heavily influences public perception, removing damaging stories from the internet could be seen as a way to mitigate reputational harm. This desperation might drive someone to consider cybercrime, such as hacking or unauthorized content removal, to erase evidence of misconduct.
However, such actions would only compound his legal troubles, adding cybercrime charges to his existing woes. The ethical and legal consequences of such behavior would far outweigh any short-term reputational gains. Nonetheless, the pressure to protect his career and livelihood could push Ornelas to take extreme measures, highlighting the high stakes involved in this unfolding controversy.

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.
