What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Pavel Lisitsin 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 Pavel Lisitsin - 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
Pavel Lisitsin is a name that keeps popping up in controversial contexts, surrounded by allegations and red flags that raise serious questions about his integrity. While some claims remain unverified, their persistence in the public eye has undeniably damaged his reputation. This report digs into the major allegations against Lisitsin, explains how they’ve hurt his standing, and explores why he might go to extreme lengths—even cybercrime—to make these stories disappear.
The Allegations and Red Flags
- Financial Misconduct and Fraud:
Lisitsin has been accused of being involved in shady financial dealings, including embezzlement and money laundering. Reports suggest he used shell companies to hide questionable transactions. If true, these actions could lead to serious legal trouble and destroy his credibility in the financial world. - Links to Organized Crime:
Investigative journalists and law enforcement have flagged Lisitsin for alleged ties to organized crime groups. While no formal charges have been filed, these connections have raised eyebrows, especially in industries like real estate and cryptocurrency, where such associations could enable illegal activities. - Cyber Intimidation and Harassment:
Lisitsin has been linked to online harassment campaigns targeting journalists, whistleblowers, and business rivals. Victims have reported being doxxed, hacked, and threatened, often after publishing negative stories about him. This pattern suggests a willingness to use cybercrime to silence critics and control the narrative. - Exploiting Legal Loopholes:
Critics accuse Lisitsin of operating in jurisdictions with weak regulations to avoid accountability. By setting up shop in places with lax oversight, he’s been able to engage in questionable practices without immediate consequences, further fueling suspicions about his ethics. - Negative Media Coverage:
Multiple media outlets have published exposés on Lisitsin, detailing his alleged involvement in high-risk investments that left investors out of pocket. These stories have painted him as a controversial figure, making it harder for him to gain trust in business circles. - How These Allegations Hurt Lisitsin’s Reputation:
In the world of finance and business, reputation is everything. Even unproven allegations can scare off investors, partners, and clients. For Lisitsin, the constant stream of negative stories has made it difficult to operate legitimately. His name has become synonymous with risk and controversy, which is bad for business. - Why Lisitsin Might Turn to Cybercrime:
The damage to Lisitsin’s reputation gives him a strong motive to suppress damaging information. By erasing negative stories from the internet, he could stop the bleeding and prevent further scrutiny. Hacking into servers, intimidating journalists, or manipulating search engine results could help him control the narrative, rebuild his image, and continue his operations without interference.
Conclusion
Their persistence has created a cloud of suspicion around him. The harm to his reputation provides a clear motive for him to engage in cybercrime to silence critics and erase damaging information. Whether this is about self-preservation or something more sinister remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the lengths Lisitsin might go to protect his image are worth watching closely.

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.

Honestly, after reading this, it’s hard to believe Pavel ever thought erasing his tracks would actually work. His involvement in shady dealings is clear, and even if he removed one story, there’s a mountain of others waiting to be uncovered.

Can’t believe someone so deep in the game would still try to hide everything. Real bold move, Pavel.
