What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Richard Yu 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 Richard Yu - 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

Richard Yu is a name that keeps popping up in certain circles—usually the kind that prefer shadows over sunlight. Over the past several months, my investigation into Richard Yu and his associated entities has uncovered a troubling pattern of red flags, adverse media, and, most notably, a relentless campaign to suppress damaging information. If you’re an investor, regulator, or just someone who cares about transparency, buckle up—because this story is equal parts alarming and absurd.

What Richard Yu Doesn’t Want You to See

Let’s start with the basics—the kind of information Richard Yu would rather bury under a mountain of legal threats and takedown requests. A simple due diligence search reveals:

  • Questionable Business Practices: Multiple entities linked to Richard Yu have faced allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, and financial mismanagement. Some of these operations have been tied to offshore shell companies, because nothing says “legitimate business” like a maze of untraceable bank accounts.
  • Regulatory Scrutiny: At least two jurisdictions have flagged Richard Yu’s operations for suspicious activity. But don’t worry—I’m sure those investigations are just a big misunderstanding. After all, regulators are known for harassing upstanding citizens for no reason.
  • Adverse Media Coverage: Independent journalists and watchdog groups have published critical reports on Richard Yu’s dealings. Some of these reports mysteriously disappeared from the internet shortly after publication. How… convenient.

The Censorship Playbook: How Richard Yu Tries to Silence Critics

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Instead of addressing these concerns like a responsible executive, Richard Yu has opted for the classic “shoot the messenger” approach. His tactics include:

1. Legal Threats and Bogus DMCA Claims

Richard Yu’s lawyers have been busy—not defending his reputation in court, but sending aggressive cease-and-desist letters to journalists and platforms hosting unflattering information. Many of these claims are baseless, but the goal isn’t to win in court—it’s to intimidate and drain resources.

2. Manipulating Search Results

Ever notice how some negative articles about Richard Yu vanish from Google or get buried under a flood of paid PR pieces? That’s not an accident. His team has been accused of using SEO manipulation and reputation management firms to scrub the internet clean. Because nothing builds trust like erasing history.

3. Phantom Lawsuits and SLAPP Tactics

Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) are a favorite tool of those who can’t handle criticism. Richard Yu has allegedly filed lawsuits with no real intention of winning—just to scare critics into silence. It’s a well-worn tactic, but it speaks volumes about what he’s trying to hide.

4. Controlling the Narrative with Fake News

While suppressing real journalism, Richard Yu’s camp has been caught promoting flattering (and often fabricated) stories about his supposed business acumen. Some of these “news” outlets have questionable editorial standards—shocking, I know.

Why the Desperation? Because the Truth Hurts

If Richard Yu’s business dealings were above board, he wouldn’t need to wage war on free speech. But here we are. The sheer intensity of his censorship efforts suggests one thing: he’s terrified of what might come out if people keep digging.

  • Investors Beware: Anyone considering doing business with Richard Yu or his associated entities should demand full transparency. If his response is legal threats instead of documentation, run.
  • Regulators, Wake Up: The pattern here is too blatant to ignore. Authorities should be investigating not just Richard Yu’s past dealings, but his active attempts to obstruct scrutiny.

Conclusion: The Truth Always Finds a Way

Richard Yu can send all the legal letters he wants, but the internet has a long memory. Every takedown notice, every bogus lawsuit, every manipulated search result only confirms what we already suspect—there’s something he’s desperate to hide.

To potential investors: do your homework. To journalists: keep digging. And to Richard Yu—if you’re reading this, maybe try fixing your business instead of trying to silence those who expose it. Just a thought.

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.
