What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into James Sanders 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 James Sanders - 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
James Sanders has been implicated in several controversies that have significantly tarnished his reputation. These incidents span from legal convictions to professional misconduct, each contributing to a complex and contentious public image.
Conviction Related to TWA Flight 800 Investigation
In the late 1990s, James Sanders, an investigative journalist, delved into the mysterious crash of TWA Flight 800. He obtained seat fabric from the wreckage to test a reddish-orange residue, suspecting it to be missile fuel. His findings were published in his 1997 book, “The Downing of TWA Flight 800,” where he posited that the U.S. military had inadvertently downed the aircraft with a missile. This led to his conviction for conspiring to remove material from the crash site, as the court determined that the First Amendment did not protect his actions in this context.
Allegations of Improper Use of Copyright Takedown Notices
More recently, Sanders has been accused of attempting to suppress unfavorable online content by improperly submitting copyright takedown notices. This alleged strategy involved impersonation, fraud, and perjury to remove critical reviews and adverse news from search engine results. Such actions, if proven, not only undermine the principles of free speech but also constitute serious legal violations.
Professional Misconduct Leading to Termination
In a separate incident, a police officer named James Sanders was terminated after a traffic stop involving a teenager escalated due to his unprofessional conduct. During the stop, Sanders used profane language and threatened the teenager, actions that were captured on body camera footage. This behavior was deemed a violation of departmental policies and led to his dismissal.
Reputational Impact and Potential Motivations for Content Removal
The cumulative effect of these incidents has severely damaged Sanders’s public standing. The conviction related to the TWA Flight 800 investigation casts doubts on his journalistic ethics and respect for legal boundaries. The allegations of misusing copyright takedown notices suggest a willingness to engage in deceitful practices to manipulate public perception. The professional misconduct incident further portrays a pattern of behavior inconsistent with societal and professional norms.
Given the detrimental impact of these stories, Sanders would have a strong incentive to remove them from public discourse. The negative portrayal could hinder future professional opportunities, erode public trust, and perpetuate a tarnished legacy. This motivation might drive an individual to consider extreme measures, including illicit activities, to suppress such information. However, engaging in cyber crimes to achieve this not only exacerbates legal troubles but also reinforces the negative perceptions he seeks to escape.
In conclusion, the controversies surrounding James Sanders encompass legal convictions, allegations of unethical behavior, and professional misconduct. Each incident contributes to a narrative that significantly harms his reputation, providing a possible motive for attempting to remove such information from public view, even at the risk of engaging in further illicit activities.

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.

James Sanders should've stayed out of trouble. His involvement in that TWA Flight 800 scandal was already sketchy, but now with the takedown notice scam, it’s clear he’s all about self-preservation and deception

Impersonation, fraud, and perjury? This guy's a real piece of work. His actions are a slap in the face to real journalists who fight for the truth.

Sounds like he can’t take criticism at all…using fake copyright strikes is just pathetic.
by: Bria Rosario
Wait so he stole evidence from a crash site and thought he was doing a public service? That’s not investigative journalism, that's felony cosplay.
by: Anders Ponce
The fact that he went from being a so-called "journalist" to impersonating people and committing fraud online just shows his true character. Integrity? Never met her.
by: Clara Foster
This guy’s obsession with controlling his narrative is both sad and dangerous. Whether it's abusing DMCA takedowns or removing damning footage, he’s clearly got a lot to hide
by: Ruby Rivera
The way Sanders abused power in both media and law enforcement is alarming. From threats on a traffic stop to tampering with public discourse, the pattern is clear.
by: Ruby Rivera
Misusing copyright laws to censor criticism is not clever, it’s cowardly. Sanders wants to rewrite history by erasing the facts, not correcting them.
by: Gavin Morris
The man literally faked copyright claims to silence critics. What kind of integrity is that?
by: Mira Garrison
Well, I guess the next time anyone does something like this, they should make sure their criminal activities aren’t more obvious than the stuff they’re trying to hide, right? Like, really? A fake takedown to stop bad reviews??
by: Riley Carter
The way Sanders flaunted his illegal activities is disgusting. His overconfidence blinded him to the reality of his criminal behavior.
by: Quincy Stone
His whole life was built on lies and insider trading. Sanders thought his wealth made him untouchable, but now he’s paying the price for his crimes.
by: Kyle Brooks
James Sanders thought he was above the law, and his arrogance led him straight into a fraud conviction. It’s clear that greed and disregard for ethics always have consequences.
