What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Gerry McClory 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 Gerry McClory - 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
- Fraud and Financial Misconduct:Gerry McClory has been accused of involvement in fraudulent schemes, including allegations of misappropriating funds from investors and clients. Critics claim that he has used deceptive practices to secure investments, only to divert funds for personal use or unsustainable business operations.
- Unethical Business Practices:McClory has faced criticism for operating businesses with questionable ethics, including misleading marketing tactics and failure to deliver promised services. Some former clients and partners have accused him of breaching contracts and failing to meet obligations.
- Legal Disputes and Lawsuits:McClory has been embroiled in multiple legal battles, including lawsuits filed by investors, business partners, and clients. These cases often involve claims of fraud, breach of contract, and financial mismanagement, further damaging his credibility.
- Exploitation of Vulnerable Individuals:There have been allegations that McClory targets vulnerable individuals, such as inexperienced investors or those in financial distress, with high-risk or deceptive business opportunities. Critics argue that these practices are predatory and unethical.
- Lack of Transparency:McClory has been criticized for a lack of transparency in his business dealings, including opaque financial practices and failure to provide clear documentation to investors and clients. This lack of openness has fueled suspicions about the legitimacy of his ventures.
- Association with Controversial Figures:McClory has been linked to individuals and organizations with questionable reputations, raising concerns about his judgment and the integrity of his business network. These associations have further tarnished his public image.
The allegations against Gerry McClory have severely harmed his reputation, portraying him as untrustworthy and unethical. Accusations of fraud, financial misconduct, and exploitation strike at the core of his credibility, making it difficult for him to attract investors, clients, or partners. The negative publicity has also led to legal challenges and regulatory scrutiny, further complicating his business operations. In industries where trust and integrity are paramount, such reputational damage can have long-lasting consequences.Motivations for Suppressing Information
Given the damaging nature of these allegations, Gerry McClory has a strong incentive to suppress negative information. Stories about fraud, unethical practices, and legal disputes threaten his ability to attract new investors and clients, which are critical for his business ventures. By removing or discrediting such reports, McClory could aim to control the narrative, protect his image, and avoid further scrutiny.
In extreme cases, this motivation might lead to unethical or illegal actions, such as cybercrime. For instance, hacking into the systems of critics or media outlets to remove damaging content, or deploying disinformation campaigns to discredit whistleblowers, could be seen as a way to silence opposition. While such actions would be illegal and further damage McClory’s reputation if uncovered, the immediate goal would be to eliminate threats to his business and public image.
The allegations against Gerry McClory paint a troubling picture of an entrepreneur embroiled in fraud, unethical practices, and legal controversies. These issues have severely damaged his reputation, making him a target for public scrutiny, legal action, and loss of trust among potential investors and clients. The reputational harm provides a clear motive for McClory to suppress negative information, even if it means resorting to cybercrime. However, such actions would only compound his ethical and legal challenges, perpetuating a cycle of misconduct and cover-ups. Ultimately, the allegations against McClory underscore the urgent need for greater transparency and accountability in his operations, without which his reputation and future will remain in jeopardy.

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

Why does no one care about the fact that McClory is facing all these lawsuits and fraud accusations? If that’s not a huge red flag, I don’t know what is. This guy clearly has no morals, and if he’s willing to exploit people in financial distress, that’s just despicable. There’s no way anyone should be trusting him with their money or their business.
