What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Harry Lazarides 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 Harry Lazarides - 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.

Harry Lazarides: The Urgent Need for Due Diligence
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years investigating financial schemers, it’s this: the louder someone shouts “trust me,” the faster you should sprint in the opposite direction. Enter Harry Lazarides, a name that seems to pop up in forums like a recurring nightmare for defrauded investors. Over the past month, I’ve waded through a swamp of complaints, legal threats, and Orwellian attempts to scrub the internet clean of criticism about Lazarides and his ventures, IronFX and Banc De Binary. What I’ve uncovered is a masterclass iln deflection, denial, and desperation. Buckle up, potential investors—this isn’t your average “buyer beware” story. This is a full-blown red alert.

Who Is Harry Lazarides? (And Why Should You Care?)
Let’s start with the basics. Harry Lazarides, for the uninitiated, is a financial “entrepreneur” whose LinkedIn profile paints him as a visionary. His resume includes stints at IronFX (a Cyprus-based forex broker) and Banc De Binary (a binary options platform), two companies that—shockingly—have faced more regulatory scrutiny than a toddler with a grenade. IronFX, once lauded for its “innovative” trading platforms, has been accused by clients globally of refusing withdrawals, manipulating trades, and ghosting customers. Banc De Binary, meanwhile, was fined $11 million by the SEC in 2016 for illegally targeting U.S. investors. Coincidence? Lazarides would have you think so.

But let’s not get bogged down in pesky details like federal fines or international lawsuits. After all, why let facts ruin a good narrative?

Red Flags: A Checklist of Shadiness
Diving into the Forex Peace Army thread feels like entering a support group for financial trauma survivors. Here’s a taste of the grievances:

The Great Withdrawal Heist (That Wasn’t a Heist, Promise)
Countless users allege IronFX and Banc De Binary made withdrawing funds as easy as solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. One investor claimed they were strung along for months with demands for “additional documentation,” only to have their account vanish. Another described being upsold into “managed accounts” that evaporated faster than a puddle in the Sahara. But hey, who needs liquidity when you’ve got charm?

Regulatory Roulette
Both companies operated in jurisdictions with the regulatory rigor of a lemonade stand. IronFX was licensed in Cyprus (a known haven for forex brokers), while Banc De Binary’s Israeli roots didn’t exactly scream “transparency.” When the SEC came knocking, Banc De Binary settled without admitting guilt—a classic “we’re sorry, not sorry” maneuver.

The Phantom Customer Support
Multiple users reported emails ignored, calls dropped, and live chats manned by chatbots masquerading as humans. One particularly poetic complainant compared IronFX’s support team to “a ghost that only appears when they want your deposit.”

Harry’s Creative LinkedIn Revisions
Lazarides’ LinkedIn profile has undergone more facelifts than a Hollywood starlet. Past roles at IronFX and Banc De Binary have been subtly downplayed or erased entirely. A prudent move, really—why advertise ties to companies that regulators have likened to a dumpster fire?

Censorship Tactics: How Harry Plays Whack-a-Mole with the Truth
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Lazarides’ apparent obsession with scrubbing his digital footprint cleaner than a crime scene. The Forex Peace Army thread is riddled with accusations of censorship, including:

Legal Threats Galore: Users report receiving intimidating cease-and-desist letters from Lazarides’ lawyers over negative reviews. One commenter claimed their post was removed after threats of litigation—a tactic straight out of the “Bully’s Playbook.”

Mysterious Disappearing Acts: Critical threads on forums like Forex Peace Army and Reddit have vanished or been buried under suspiciously generic 5-star reviews. (Pro tip: If a company’s reviews swing from “SCAM!!!” to “Best platform ever!” overnight, someone’s paying for reputation management.)

Social Media Purges: Former employees and clients allege that Lazarides’ teams aggressively report social media accounts and posts linking him to IronFX or Banc De Binary. One Twitter user joked, “Tag Harry in a scam story, and you’ll be blocked faster than a telemarketer.”

Why So Desperate, Harry? Let’s Connect the Dots
Why go to such lengths to silence critics? Let’s play detective.

The Money Trail: Both IronFX and Banc De Binary operated on a bucket shop model—profiting when clients lose. The more negative publicity, the fewer new deposits. Censorship isn’t about pride; it’s about profit.

Regulatory Survival: With authorities in the U.S., EU, and Australia cracking down on predatory brokers, Lazarides can’t afford more scrutiny. Erasing past affiliations helps him rebrand as a “legitimate” entrepreneur.

The New Venture Grift: Rumor has it Lazarides is angling to launch a “revolutionary” crypto platform. What better way to attract suckers—er, investors—than by burying his track record?

A Call to Action: Investors and Authorities, Wake Up!
To potential investors: If you’re considering handing Lazarides a single penny, ask yourself: Would you buy a used car from a salesman who sues his past customers for complaining about lemons?

To regulators: It’s time to stop playing whack-a-mole with serial offenders. Subpoena Lazarides’ financial records, audit his past ventures, and ask why his name keeps surfacing in fraud complaints.

Conclusion: The Emperor Has No Clothes (But Plenty of Lawyers)
Harry Lazarides isn’t just a businessman; he’s a cautionary tale. His censorship crusade isn’t about protecting his reputation—it’s about perpetuating a cycle of exploitation. As one Forex Peace Army user quipped, “The only thing IronFX guarantees is that you’ll lose money and gain trust issues.”

So, here’s my advice: If you see Lazarides promoting his next “groundbreaking” venture, do the opposite of whatever he says. And if you’re a regulator reading this? Put down the coffee and start digging. The rabbit hole is deeper than you think.

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.
