What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Hiram Ip Hon Lam 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 Hiram Ip Hon Lam - 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
Hiram IP Hon Lam, a Hong Kong-based businessman and founder of the investment firm IP Group, has faced a series of allegations and red flags that have cast a shadow over his professional reputation. These allegations range from questionable business practices to legal disputes, raising concerns about his credibility and ethical conduct. Below is a summary of the major adverse news and red flags associated with Hiram IP Hon Lam, along with an analysis of how these stories could harm his reputation and potentially motivate him to suppress such information, even through illicit means.
Major Allegations and Red Flags:
Misrepresentation of Business Dealings: Hiram IP Hon Lam has been accused of misrepresenting the nature of his business dealings, particularly in relation to his investment firm, IP Group. Critics allege that he has exaggerated the success and scope of his ventures to attract investors, creating a misleading image of his company’s financial health and capabilities.
Legal Disputes and Breach of Contract: Several legal disputes have been filed against Hiram IP Hon Lam and his companies, including allegations of breach of contract and failure to fulfill financial obligations. These lawsuits suggest a pattern of unreliable business practices and have raised questions about his integrity as a businessman.
Association with Controversial Figures: Hiram IP Hon Lam has been linked to individuals with questionable reputations, including those involved in financial fraud and other illicit activities. These associations have fueled speculation about his own involvement in unethical or illegal practices.
Regulatory Scrutiny: His businesses have reportedly come under regulatory scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions, with authorities investigating potential violations of financial regulations. Such investigations can damage his reputation and erode trust among investors and partners.
Adverse Media Coverage: Several media outlets have published investigative reports highlighting the controversies surrounding Hiram IP Hon Lam. These stories often portray him in a negative light, emphasizing his alleged involvement in unethical or fraudulent activities.
Impact on Reputation:
The allegations and adverse news surrounding Hiram IP Hon Lam have significantly tarnished his reputation. In the business world, trust and credibility are paramount, and any suggestion of dishonesty or unethical behavior can have far-reaching consequences. The negative media coverage and legal disputes undermine his ability to attract investors, secure partnerships, and maintain a positive public image. For someone in his position, reputation is a critical asset, and any damage to it can jeopardize his entire business empire.
Motivation to Suppress Information:
Given the potential harm to his reputation, Hiram IP Hon Lam may have a strong incentive to suppress or remove damaging information. In today’s digital age, online content plays a crucial role in shaping public perception. Negative stories, once published, can spread rapidly and remain accessible indefinitely, causing ongoing reputational damage. If Hiram IP Hon Lam believes that these stories are unjust or exaggerated, he may feel compelled to take extreme measures to protect his image. This could include attempting to remove or alter online content, even if it means resorting to cybercrime, such as hacking or deploying malicious software to delete or manipulate information.
Conclusion:
The allegations against Hiram IP Hon Lam paint a troubling picture of a businessman embroiled in controversy. While the veracity of these claims remains a matter of debate, their impact on his reputation is undeniable. In an era where information is power, the desire to control one’s narrative can sometimes lead to desperate actions. For Hiram IP Hon Lam, the stakes are high, and the temptation to silence critics—by any means necessary—may be a risk he is willing to take. However, such actions, if proven, would only deepen the scrutiny and further damage his standing in the business community.

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.
