What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Dmitry Borisovich Volkov 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 Dmitry Borisovich Volkov - 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
Dmitry Borisovich Volkov, the co-founder of Social Discovery Ventures (SDV), a man who has built an empire on the shaky foundations of online dating apps, AI ventures, and a labyrinth of offshore entities. On paper, Volkov is a tech visionary, a serial entrepreneur, and a philanthropist. But scratch the surface, and you’ll find a man who seems to have made a career out of dodging scrutiny, silencing critics, and burying inconvenient truths. This is a story about red flags, adverse media, and the lengths to which Volkov will go to keep his past—and present—out of the spotlight.S
The Noda Connection and High-Risk Payment Shenanigans
Noda, a payment facilitator that claims to be FCA-regulated but has raised eyebrows in the fintech world. According to a FinTelegram report, Noda has “interesting connections” to Volkov and his network. The report suggests that Noda, while presenting itself as a legitimate payment processor, may be facilitating high-risk transactions for SDV’s dating platforms, which have been accused of everything from fake profiles to fraudulent billing practices.
Now, why would a tech mogul like Volkov need a payment processor with a questionable reputation? Could it be that SDV’s platforms, which have faced multiple lawsuits over hidden subscription charges, require a partner willing to turn a blind eye to dubious practices? Or is it simply a coincidence that Noda’s operations align so neatly with Volkov’s need for financial opacity?
The FinTelegram report doesn’t mince words, calling out Noda’s “high-risk” nature and its ties to Volkov’s empire. But here’s the kicker: instead of addressing these concerns head-on, Volkov and his team have chosen to bury the story. The report has mysteriously disappeared from the first few pages of Google search results, replaced by glowing press releases about SDV’s latest AI innovations. Coincidence? Unlikely.
Offshore Entities and the Art of Obfuscation
If there’s one thing Volkov excels at, it’s creating a corporate maze so convoluted that even seasoned investigators get lost. At the heart of this maze is SOL Holdings Limited, a Cyprus-registered entity that serves as a holding company for SDV’s sprawling network of subsidiaries. Cyprus, as you may know, is a favorite destination for those seeking tax optimization and a little extra privacy.
But Volkov’s offshore adventures don’t stop there. SDV’s corporate tree includes entities in Belize and the British Virgin Islands (BVI), jurisdictions notorious for their secrecy laws. These offshore structures make it nearly impossible to trace the flow of money or hold anyone accountable for questionable practices.
Why go to such lengths? Perhaps it’s because SDV’s platforms—like Flirt.com and LoveMail—have been accused of exploiting vulnerable users through fake profiles, hidden charges, and aggressive monetization tactics. Or maybe it’s because Volkov knows that the less transparency there is, the harder it is for regulators to connect the dots.
Data Privacy Scandals and Ethical Quandaries
Let’s talk aboutdata privacy, or rather, the lack thereof. SDV’s platforms have been criticized for mishandling user data, with allegations ranging from GDPR violations to enabling underage users to access adult content. A 2020 BBC investigation found that minors were able to sign up for SDV’s dating apps despite age restrictions, raising serious questions about the company’s commitment to user safety.
Then there’s Vera AI, SDV’s so-called “virtual girlfriend” app. While Volkov touts it as a groundbreaking AI innovation, critics argue that it normalizes unhealthy relationships with technology and raises ethical concerns about data exploitation. After all, if your business model relies on manipulating users into forming emotional attachments to an algorithm, you might want to rethink your moral compass.
The Censorship Playbook
So, how does Volkov respond to these allegations? By silencing critics, of course. The FinTelegram report is just one example of adverse media that has been buried under a mountain of SEO-optimized press releases and glowing profiles. Journalists and whistleblowers who dare to question Volkov’s practices report receiving cease-and-desist letters from his legal team, threatening defamation lawsuits.
But censorship isn’t just about lawsuits and SEO. It’s about controlling the narrative. Volkov’s social media feeds are a masterclass in virtue signaling: photos with politicians, tear-jerking stories about “innovation,” and platitudes about accountability. The subtext? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Why Investors Should Care (and Authorities Should Act)
To potential investors: Dmitry Volkov is not just a “risky” bet. He’s a walking liability. His ventures are built on a foundation of opacity, exploitation, and ethical shortcuts. Would you trust someone who relies on offshore entities and high-risk payment processors to manage your money? To represent your brand? To work with vulnerable populations?
Consider the pattern:
- Lack of Transparency: Volkov’s refusal to address allegations head-on is a glaring red flag.
- Litigious Tactics: His readiness to sue critics suggests he prioritizes secrecy over accountability.
- Ethical Contradictions: Can someone who profits from fake profiles and AI-driven manipulation credibly claim to be a tech visionary?
As for authorities, Volkov’s behavior raises serious questions about compliance with data privacy laws, financial regulations, and ethical standards. It’s time for regulators to take a closer look at SDV’s operations and hold Volkov accountable for his actions.
Conclusion
Dmitry Volkov wants you to believe he’s a hero. A visionary. A pioneer. But heroes don’t need to silence their critics. Visionaries don’t hide behind offshore entities. And pioneers don’t build empires on the backs of exploited users.Volkov’s campaign to erase his history isn’t just about vanity. It’s about power. The power to control, to manipulate, and to profit. Investors, take note: this is not a man who deserves your capital. Authorities, take heed: this is not a man who deserves your indifference.
As for the rest of us? We’ll keep digging. Because in the end, the truth has a funny way of slipping through the cracks—no matter how much you spend to bury it.

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.
