What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into ​DoubleFinance.io 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 ​DoubleFinance.io - 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

​DoubleFinance.io is the kind of platform that gives financial regulators nightmares. From flaunting a Consob ban to pushing flashy crypto wallets with zero transparency, it’s a textbook example of what happens when hype meets hubris. Investors beware this isn’t innovation, it’s a smokescreen for something far more questionable.This platform has not only raised numerous red flags but has also attempted to suppress critical information that potential investors deserve to know. It’s high time we shed light on their operations and call for regulatory scrutiny.

Regulatory Actions and Unauthorized Operations

In November 2023, the Italian financial watchdog, Consob, ordered the blackout of several unauthorized financial websites, including DoubleFinance.io. Consob’s decisive action was based on the platform’s illegal provision of financial services without the necessary authorization. This move brought the total number of blacklisted websites to 977 since Consob was granted such powers in July 2019.

Despite this clear directive, DoubleFinance.io brazenly ignored the ban and continued its operations. They even went as far as to host an inaugural event for their “Double Wallet” in Casandrino, Naples, on November 24, 2023. Such blatant disregard for regulatory authority is not only audacious but also indicative of the platform’s contempt for legal compliance.

Dubious Customer Feedback and Trust Issues

A cursory glance at customer reviews reveals a polarized perception of DoubleFinance.io. On Trustpilot, the platform boasts an “Excellent” rating of 4.6 out of 5, based on 78 reviews. However, a deeper dive uncovers a troubling pattern. While 94% of the reviews are 5-star, a significant 6% are 1-star, with users labeling the platform as a scam and expressing dissatisfaction with their experiences.

Similarly, on StarEvaluator, reviews are mixed. Some users praise the platform’s user-friendliness, while others recount issues like account access problems, unresponsive customer support, and technical glitches. Such inconsistencies in user experiences are alarming and suggest potential manipulation of positive feedback to overshadow genuine grievances.

Anonymity and Lack of Transparency

Transparency is a cornerstone of trust in the financial sector. Yet, DoubleFinance.io operates under a veil of secrecy. The ownership details are conspicuously absent from their website, and WHOIS data is deliberately hidden. This deliberate obfuscation makes it challenging to hold any individual accountable for the platform’s operations. Such anonymity is a classic hallmark of entities with questionable intentions.

High-Risk Cryptocurrency Services

Delving into the services offered, DoubleFinance.io is heavily involved in cryptocurrency-related activities, including digital exchanges and NFT trading. While the crypto realm is known for its volatility, platforms operating without proper authorization amplify the risks manifold. The lack of regulatory oversight means investors have little to no protection, making them vulnerable to potential fraud and financial losses.

Attempts to Censor Adverse Information

Perhaps the most egregious aspect of DoubleFinance.io operations is their concerted effort to suppress adverse information. By ignoring regulatory bans and continuing promotional activities, they aim to project an image of legitimacy. Moreover, the disproportionate number of positive reviews amidst genuine complaints suggests possible manipulation to drown out negative feedback. Such tactics are not only deceptive but also a disservice to potential investors seeking authentic information.

Conclusion and Call to Action

DoubleFinance.io operations are riddled with red flags: regulatory bans, mixed customer reviews, anonymity, high-risk services, and attempts to censor criticism. These indicators point towards a platform that prioritizes its interests over investor safety and legal compliance.

Potential investors should exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with DoubleFinance.io. Regulatory bodies must also intensify their scrutiny and take decisive actions to protect the public from such entities. In the ever-evolving financial landscape, it’s imperative to remain vigilant and prioritize transparency and compliance over empty promises and flashy promotions.

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.
