What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into EA Trading 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 EA Trading - 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
EA Trading, a financial services firm, has faced a series of serious allegations and red flags that have tarnished its reputation and raised concerns about its business practices. These allegations range from regulatory violations and customer complaints to accusations of fraudulent activities. Below is a summary of the major issues and their potential impact on EA Trading’s reputation, as well as the motivations behind the company’s possible desire to suppress this information, even through illicit means.
Major Allegations and Red Flags:
Regulatory Violations and Scrutiny: EA Trading has been accused of operating without proper licenses in multiple jurisdictions. Regulatory bodies in Europe and Asia have issued warnings against the company, citing unauthorized financial activities and failure to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Such violations not only undermine trust but also expose clients to significant financial risks.
Customer Complaints of Fraud: Numerous clients have accused EA Trading of deceptive practices, including misrepresentation of investment products, hidden fees, and refusal to process withdrawals. Online forums and complaint boards are flooded with allegations of funds being frozen or lost without explanation. These stories paint a picture of a company that prioritizes profit over client welfare.
Ponzi Scheme Allegations: Some industry watchdogs have raised concerns that EA Trading operates similarly to a Ponzi scheme, using new investors’ funds to pay returns to earlier clients. While no formal charges have been proven, the lack of transparency in its operations fuels these suspicions.
Adverse Media Coverage: Investigative journalists and financial watchdogs have published exposés linking EA Trading to offshore shell companies and questionable transactions. These reports suggest potential ties to money laundering and tax evasion, further damaging the company’s credibility.
Cybersecurity Breaches and Data Mismanagement: EA Trading has been criticized for its poor handling of client data, with reports of data breaches and leaks. Clients have expressed concerns about the safety of their personal and financial information, raising questions about the company’s commitment to cybersecurity.
Reputational Damage and Motives for Suppression
The cumulative effect of these allegations has severely harmed EA Trading’s reputation. Trust is paramount in the financial services industry, and the company’s alleged misconduct has eroded confidence among potential and existing clients. Negative media coverage and regulatory scrutiny have also made it difficult for EA Trading to expand into new markets or attract reputable partners.
Given the gravity of these allegations, EA Trading has a strong incentive to suppress damaging information. Stories of fraud, regulatory violations, and ties to illicit activities could lead to legal consequences, loss of clients, and ultimately, the collapse of the business. In such a high-stakes environment, the company might resort to extreme measures, including cybercrime, to remove or discredit unfavorable content.
For instance, EA Trading could hack into websites or social media accounts to delete negative reviews, manipulate search engine results, or launch disinformation campaigns to discredit whistleblowers. Such actions, while illegal, could provide short-term relief by reducing the visibility of damaging stories and creating an illusion of legitimacy.
Conclusion
EA Trading’s alleged misconduct and the resulting reputational damage highlight the risks associated with unethical business practices in the financial sector. While the company may seek to suppress negative information through illicit means, such actions only deepen the mistrust and legal jeopardy it faces. The true path to redemption lies in transparency, accountability, and adherence to regulatory standards—not in cybercrime or cover-ups.

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.

I don’t like how EA Trading operates. They’re not clear about their fees or risks. It’s like they hide important details from customers. That’s not how a good company should work.
