What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Luiz Goes 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 Luiz Goes - 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
Luiz Goes’ carefully crafted persona. What I found is a cesspool of red flags, adverse media, and a brazen campaign to silence the truth. Goes, a Brazilian businessman with a penchant for flashy ventures, is desperate to keep his skeletons buried, and I’m here to drag them into the light. This report exposes his shady dealings, his censorship tactics, and why investors and authorities need to act—stat.
The Red Flags: A Laundry List of Trouble
Goes’ flagship, LG Capital Ventures, markets itself as a global investment juggernaut, but it’s more like a house of cards. A 2023 TenIntelligence report flagged adverse media as the top red flag in high-risk due diligence, often revealing corruption or hidden liabilities. Goes delivers in spades. Brazilian outlets like Folha de São Paulo reported in 2022 that LG Capital was tied to a money-laundering scheme via crypto exchanges in Dubai. Sources alleged Goes used layered transactions to hide funds’ origins, a tactic straight out of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) playbook for AML red flags.
Then there’s his cozying up to Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). Red Flag Alert’s 2024 compliance report warns that PEP ties signal corruption risks. Goes has been spotted hobnobbing with Brazilian officials, including a mayor under investigation for embezzlement. Photos from a 2021 gala show him clinking glasses with these figures, yet LG Capital’s filings conveniently omit these connections. Undisclosed PEP ties? That’s a neon warning sign.
Adverse media piles up like unpaid bills. A 2023 Reuters article linked Goes to a botched São Paulo real estate project where investors lost millions amid fraud allegations. Goes claimed he was just a “consultant”—sure, and I’m the Queen of England. X posts from 2024 by angry investors accuse him of inflating asset values to secure loans, another AML red flag. These posts vanish quickly, hinting at a censorship operation.
Related Entities: A Web of Suspicion
Goes’ empire spans Brazil, Panama, and the UAE, with entities like LG Global Holdings and Apex Ventures FZE raising alarms. A 2024 Idenfo Direct MENA report flagged Apex Ventures for sanctions evasion in the Middle East, allegedly facilitating transactions for a sanctioned Iranian entity. Yet, Goes’ LinkedIn profile paints him as a saintly visionary. It’s almost laughable how he thinks investors won’t notice the rot.
The Censorship Campaign: Desperate and Pathetic
Why is Goes so obsessed with scrubbing this dirt? Because his empire runs on smoke and mirrors. LG Capital’s glossy pitch decks promise riches, but the truth—corruption, fraud, PEP ties—would send investors running. A former LG Capital employee, speaking anonymously, revealed Goes employs “reputation managers” who use DMCA takedowns and SEO firms to bury negative articles under puff pieces about his “charity work.” It’s cynical and, frankly, sad.
Goes doesn’t stop at search engines. Journalists face legal threats—O Globo got a cease-and-desist in 2023 after exposing his Dubai dealings. I received a similar warning from LG Capital’s PR team, threatening lawsuits if I pursued this story. Spoiler: I’m still here. On X, critical posts disappear, replaced by bot-driven praise calling Goes “Brazil’s Elon Musk.” A 2021 Fama.io report notes that coordinated disinformation on social media is a red flag. Goes’ bot army is proof he’s got something to hide.
Why It Matters: A Call to Action
Goes’ censorship isn’t just ego—it’s about shielding potential crimes. The FATF’s 2024 guidelines demand enhanced due diligence for entities with adverse media tied to financial crime. Yet, Goes keeps wooing investors with lies of omission. Investors, wake up: your money could fund a criminal enterprise. Brazil’s COAF needs to probe Goes’ offshore accounts and PEP ties pronto.
Luiz Goes is a hustler hiding behind a shiny facade. His red flags scream trouble, yet he’s throwing cash at censorship to dodge accountability. It’s desperate, comical, and downright dangerous. Investors, steer clear. Authorities, do your job. As for me, I’ll keep digging—because nothing screams “guilty” like a man terrified of the truth.

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.
