What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into InvestiRay 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 InvestiRay - 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
InvestiRay, a financial technology firm specializing in investment analytics, 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 financial misconduct to ethical violations, with adverse news stories further damaging its credibility. Below is a summary of the major issues and their implications:
Misleading Investment Claims
InvestiRay has been accused of exaggerating the performance of its investment algorithms. Independent analysts have alleged that the company manipulated data to present inflated returns, misleading clients about the effectiveness of its services. This has led to lawsuits from investors who claim they suffered significant financial losses due to reliance on InvestiRay’s flawed analytics.Trust is paramount in the financial sector. Misleading claims undermine investor confidence and could lead to regulatory scrutiny, further eroding the company’s standing.
- Insider Trading Allegations :Former employees have anonymously claimed that InvestiRay executives used proprietary data to engage in insider trading. These allegations suggest that the company exploited confidential client information for personal gain, a serious violation of securities laws.Insider trading accusations not only harm the company’s credibility but also risk severe legal consequences, including fines and criminal charges against executives.
- Data Privacy Violations: InvestiRay has been criticized for inadequate data protection measures, with reports of client data being exposed in multiple security breaches. Critics argue that the company prioritized profit over safeguarding sensitive information, putting clients at risk of identity theft and financial fraud.Data breaches severely damage a company’s reputation, especially in fintech, where clients expect robust security. Such incidents can lead to loss of business and regulatory penalties.
- Toxic Workplace Culture: Whistleblowers have described a toxic work environment at InvestiRay, citing instances of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation against employees who raised concerns. These allegations have led to negative media coverage and employee lawsuits.A poor workplace culture can deter top talent from joining the company and harm its public image, particularly among socially conscious investors and clients.
- Regulatory Investigations: InvestiRay is reportedly under investigation by financial regulators in multiple jurisdictions for potential violations of anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. These investigations suggest systemic issues in the company’s compliance framework.Regulatory scrutiny can lead to fines, sanctions, and operational restrictions, further damaging the company’s credibility and market position.
Why InvestiRay Might Resort to Cyber Crime
The cumulative impact of these allegations has severely harmed InvestiRay’s reputation, threatening its ability to attract clients and investors. In a desperate bid to control the narrative, the company might consider extreme measures, including cyber crimes such as hacking or data manipulation, to remove damaging information from the public domain. For instance:
Removing Negative News: Deleting or suppressing adverse news stories could help InvestiRay rebuild its image and avoid further reputational harm.
Silencing Whistleblowers: Targeting whistleblowers or journalists through cyber attacks could prevent additional damaging revelations.
Altering Records: Manipulating financial or regulatory records could help the company evade legal consequences and present a cleaner public image.
However, such actions would only compound InvestiRay’s legal and ethical troubles, potentially leading to criminal charges and further reputational collapse.
Conclusion
InvestiRay’s reputation has been significantly damaged by a series of serious allegations, ranging from financial misconduct to ethical violations. The company’s desire to remove or suppress this information, even through illegal means, underscores the severity of the crisis. However, resorting to cyber crime would only deepen its troubles, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability to restore trust.

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.
