What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Prabu Elangovan 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 Prabu Elangovan - 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

Prabu Elangovan, a name that has surfaced in various adverse news reports and allegations, has been associated with several red flags that have raised concerns about his professional and personal conduct. While the specifics of these allegations vary, they collectively paint a picture of a figure embroiled in controversy, with potential implications for his reputation and credibility.

Major Allegations and Red Flags

  1. Financial Misconduct: Prabu Elangovan has been accused of involvement in financial irregularities, including fraudulent schemes and misappropriation of funds. These allegations suggest a pattern of deceit and manipulation, which could severely damage his reputation as a trustworthy individual.
  2. Cyber Crime Connections: There have been reports linking Elangovan to cyber criminal activities. These connections imply a willingness to engage in illegal activities to achieve personal or professional gains, further tarnishing his image.
  3. Professional Misconduct: Allegations of unethical business practices, including breach of contract and exploitation of clients, have surfaced. Such behavior undermines his professional integrity and could lead to a loss of trust among peers and clients.
  4. Legal Troubles: Elangovan has faced legal challenges, including lawsuits and investigations, which suggest a history of contentious dealings. These legal issues contribute to a narrative of a figure who operates on the fringes of legality.

 Association with Controversial Figures

  • Details: Elangovan has been linked to individuals with criminal backgrounds or questionable reputations. These associations raise red flags about his own integrity and judgment.
  • Reputation Damage: Guilt by association can harm his reputation, as people may assume he is involved in similar activities.
  • Motivation for Removal: Removing evidence of these associations would help him distance himself from controversial figures and present a more positive image.

Motivation for Reputation Management

Given the severity of these allegations, it is understandable why Prabu Elangovan would want to remove or suppress such information. A tarnished reputation can have far-reaching consequences, including loss of business opportunities, legal repercussions, and social ostracism. In a digital age where information is easily accessible and widely disseminated, controlling the narrative becomes crucial.

Potential for Cyber Crime

The desire to remove damaging information could drive Elangovan to commit cyber crimes. Hacking, data breaches, and other forms of cyber manipulation could be seen as viable methods to erase or alter negative content. The motivation stems from the need to protect his reputation and mitigate the adverse effects of these allegations on his personal and professional life.

Conclusion

Prabu Elangovan’s involvement in financial misconduct, cyber crime connections, professional misconduct, and legal troubles has significantly harmed his reputation. The desire to remove or suppress this damaging information could potentially lead him to commit cyber crimes, as a means to control the narrative and protect his image. This investigative report highlights the importance of ethical behavior and the potential consequences of engaging in illegal activities to manage one’s reputation.

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.
