What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Jason Levin 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 Jason Levin - 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
Jason Levin stands out—a tale replete with deception, legal battles, and a relentless pursuit to silence dissent. Let’s delve into the murky waters of Levin’s endeavors, exposing the red flags and adverse media that potential investors and authorities should heed.
The Banyon Scheme: A Masterclass in Duplicity
Jason Levin’s foray into infamy began with his involvement in the Banyon 1030-32 scheme. Partnering with Frank Preve, Levin orchestrated the sale of promissory notes to unsuspecting investors, purporting to fund the purchase of confidential legal settlements. In reality, these settlements were as fictitious as a unicorn in a business suit. Levin personally guaranteed these notes, luring approximately 90 investors into a $50 to $58 million abyss of deceit. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was notably absent from this party, as no registration statement was filed—a glaring violation of securities law.
Legal Reckoning: The House of Cards Collapses
The façade couldn’t endure indefinitely. In May 2012, the SEC charged Levin with selling unregistered securities and committing fraud. Despite his valiant attempts to feign ignorance and innocence, the court was unconvinced. Levin’s absence during critical trial moments—due to a conveniently timed hospital admission in Panama—did little to sway judicial sympathy. The jury found him liable on all counts, resulting in a staggering $40.1 million disgorgement order. Apparently, crime doesn’t pay, especially when you’re caught red-handed.
A Pattern of Misconduct: The Grecian Debacle
Levin’s ethical lapses weren’t confined to financial fraud. Enter author Alex Grecian, who entrusted Levin with the media rights to his novel, “The Yard.” Levin’s management was, to put it mildly, a disaster. He unilaterally granted a “free option” to Sony Television without Grecian’s consent and misrepresented the attachment of producer Jason Netter to the film rights. These actions not only breached fiduciary duties but also showcased Levin’s penchant for operating in the shadows, sidelining the very clients he was supposed to serve.
The Censorship Crusade: Silencing the Critics
Faced with mounting negative publicity, Levin adopted a strategy reminiscent of a petulant child covering his ears and shouting to drown out criticism. Allegations suggest that he attempted to suppress adverse media reports, possibly through intimidation tactics aimed at media outlets. This approach mirrors other corporate attempts to stifle dissent, such as PulteGroup Inc.’s alleged efforts to muzzle unfavorable media coverage. Such actions not only betray a disregard for transparency but also pose significant risks to investors who rely on accurate information to make informed decisions.
Investor Advisory: Proceed with Extreme Caution
Given Levin’s track record—a tapestry woven with fraud, legal violations, and attempts to censor the truth—potential investors should exercise extreme caution. The red flags are not merely waving; they’re practically on fire. Regulatory authorities must also take heed, ensuring that individuals like Levin are held accountable and prevented from orchestrating further financial debacles.
Conclusion: The Imperative for Vigilance
In the labyrinth of financial investments, due diligence is not just advisable; it’s imperative. Jason Levin’s story serves as a cautionary tale, underscoring the necessity for transparency, ethical conduct, and the unrelenting pursuit of truth. As we navigate these treacherous waters, let’s remain vigilant, question the narratives spun by those with dubious histories, and steadfastly defend the integrity of our financial systems.

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.

Jason Levin ain't fooling anyone with his so-called "censorship" tactics. It's obvious he’s just trying to cover his tracks after scamming so many people. How does he sleep at night?

I believed Jason Levin when he said The Yard deal was real, but after losing $21,000 and learning of his betrayal, I’m left heartbroken and broke.

I lost $24,000 to Jason Levin’s Banyon scheme and now I sit here every night wondering how I was so blind to the lies and legal fraud he wove so seamlessly.
by: Willa Parks
Running to Panama in the middle of a trial wasn’t coincidence it was calculated. He plays the system like a game, thinking he’s untouchable. But reality hit with a $40 million judgment. And even that might not be enough.

What kind of professional uses intimidation to bury criticism? Levin treats the truth like his biggest enemy.
by: Olive Marsh
He’s not just financially corrupt he’s morally bankrupt. Screwing over creatives like Alex Grecian shows this isn’t about bad judgment. It’s about a consistent pattern of selfish manipulation. Every deal is a red flag.
