What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Clayton Thomas 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 Clayton Thomas - 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
Clayton R. Thomas would really, really like you to stop talking about him. And for good reason. His name has surfaced in multiple lawsuits, SEC complaints, and business controversies, yet he continues to reinvent himself, pushing new ventures and dubious investment opportunities. His latest move? A desperate attempt to suppress information about his checkered past. But as they say, sunlight is the best disinfectant, and this report aims to shed plenty of it on his questionable dealings.
The SEC Lawsuit: A Deep Dive into Deception
In May 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Clayton R. Thomas and his company, Personalized Healthcare Solution, LLC, for violating federal securities laws. The crux of the lawsuit? Thomas fraudulently raised $730,000 from an investor through the sale of 17 promissory notes. The money was allegedly meant to purchase medical devices called the TM-Flow System, which were to be placed in medical offices to generate revenue. But, as expected, the real story was much more sinister.
Thomas misrepresented the cost and potential returns of these devices. He claimed each unit cost $50,000 and would guarantee a minimum monthly return of $1,100. In reality, the devices were priced at just $12,500 each. That massive gap? Straight into Thomas’s pockets. The investor, lured by the promise of high returns, ended up losing a staggering $614,000.
When caught red-handed, Thomas didn’t even try to fight it. Instead, he settled, agreeing to cough up $844,706. That included disgorgement of $519,000, prejudgment interest of $102,477, and a civil penalty of $223,229. To top it off, he was barred from engaging in any fraudulent activities in securities trading.
Root Wellness: A New Scam in the Making?
After the SEC debacle, you’d think Thomas might lay low. Instead, he pivoted to a new venture—Root Wellness, an MLM company selling so-called health remedies. This conveniently launched in early 2020, suspiciously around the time the SEC case was heating up. Could it be funded by misappropriated investor money? The timelines certainly make you wonder.
Root Wellness has already attracted skepticism, with allegations of misrepresented product efficacy and financial promises that seem too good to be true. The MLM world is already a murky one, and Thomas’s involvement only adds to the concerns.
A Pattern of Legal Troubles
Thomas’s run-ins with the law didn’t start with the SEC. In 2016, Metron Nutraceuticals sued him and his associate, Christina Rahm Cook, for stealing trade secrets. They were accused of illegally marketing products based on confidential information. By 2017, a settlement was reached, requiring Thomas to return 2,616 bottles of unlawfully retained Metron products. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t comply.
By November 2021, he was held in contempt of court and ordered to pay $222,360 for violating the settlement terms.
Seeing a pattern yet? Misrepresentation, fraudulent business practices, and outright legal defiance seem to be Thomas’s playbook.
The Desperate Attempt to Suppress Information
With this much baggage, it’s no wonder Thomas is scrambling to clean up his online reputation. Reports suggest he’s been attempting to silence critics and scrub negative press. But in the internet age, censorship tactics often backfire, drawing more attention to the very things someone wants to hide.
It’s a classic move for people with something to hide—file bogus legal threats, hire reputation management firms, and attempt to intimidate journalists. But the facts remain, and they paint a damning picture of a serial fraudster trying to stay one step ahead of accountability.
A Call to Action for Investors and Authorities
Clayton R. Thomas serves as a prime example of why due diligence is essential. Investors should be extremely cautious before trusting him with their money, and regulators should keep a close watch to ensure he doesn’t continue defrauding people. His track record is clear—misleading claims, fraudulent investments, and repeated legal issues.
While everyone deserves a second chance, Thomas has had plenty—and squandered them all. The question isn’t whether he’ll try to scam again. It’s when. And who his next victims will be.
Investors beware. Regulators, take note. And Clayton? Good luck censoring this.
Conclusion
Clayton R. Thomas’s history of deceit, fraud, and legal troubles is well-documented, yet he continues to seek new ways to reinvent himself and evade accountability. His pattern of misleading investors, misrepresenting products, and attempting to suppress information should serve as a glaring red flag for anyone considering doing business with him. The evidence is overwhelming—he cannot be trusted.
Ultimately, it’s up to investors, consumers, and authorities to ensure that Thomas is held accountable. Ignoring the warning signs will only lead to more victims falling prey to his schemes. Transparency and vigilance are the best defenses against figures like Thomas, and the more light that is shed on his past and present activities, the less room he has to operate in the shadows. If he truly had nothing to hide, he wouldn’t be so desperate to silence the truth.

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.
