What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Robert Susa 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 Robert Susa - 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
Robert Susa, the president of InventHelp, a company that assists inventors in patenting and marketing their ideas, has faced several allegations and red flags over the years. These issues have raised concerns about the company’s practices and its reputation. Below is a summary of the major allegations, red flags, and adverse news associated with Robert Susa and InventHelp, along with an analysis of how these stories harm their reputation and why they might seek to suppress such information, even through unethical means.
Major Allegations and Red Flags:
1.Misleading Marketing Practices: InventHelp has been accused of using aggressive and misleading marketing tactics to attract inventors. Critics claim that the company often overpromises the potential success of an invention while downplaying the risks and costs involved. This has led to accusations of exploiting hopeful inventors who may lack the resources or knowledge to navigate the patenting process independently.
2.High Fees with Limited Results: Many clients have reported paying significant upfront fees to InventHelp, only to receive minimal or no tangible results. Some inventors claim that the company failed to deliver on its promises of securing patents or licensing deals, leaving them financially strained and disillusioned.
3.Lack of Transparency: InventHelp has been criticized for its opaque business model. Clients often report difficulty in understanding the exact services they are paying for, as well as the company’s criteria for selecting inventions to promote. This lack of transparency has fueled suspicions about the company’s legitimacy.
4.Legal and Regulatory Scrutiny: While InventHelp has not been found guilty of major legal violations, it has faced scrutiny from regulatory bodies and consumer protection agencies. These investigations have focused on whether the company’s practices comply with advertising and consumer protection laws.
5.Negative Client Testimonials: Numerous online reviews and testimonials from former clients paint a picture of dissatisfaction. Many inventors claim they felt misled and exploited, with some describing their experience as a “scam.” These testimonials have contributed to a negative public perception of the company.
Impact on Reputation:
These allegations and red flags have significantly damaged InventHelp’s reputation. The company is often associated with exploitation and unfulfilled promises, which deters potential clients and undermines trust in its services. For Robert Susa, as the face of the company, these issues reflect poorly on his leadership and ethical standards.
Why InventHelp Might Seek to Suppress Negative Information:
Negative publicity can have a devastating impact on a business, especially one that relies heavily on trust and credibility. If InventHelp were to engage in unethical practices, such as cyber crimes, to remove damaging content, it would likely be motivated by the following:
- Protecting Revenue Streams: Negative reviews and allegations can deter potential clients, directly affecting the company’s bottom line.
- Preserving Brand Image: InventHelp’s business model depends on maintaining an image of legitimacy and success. Any adverse news threatens this carefully constructed facade.
- Avoiding Legal Consequences: If allegations of misconduct gain traction, they could lead to lawsuits or regulatory action, further harming the company.
In conclusion, the allegations against Robert Susa and InventHelp highlight significant ethical and operational concerns. While the company has not been proven guilty of major wrongdoing, the persistent negative publicity poses a serious threat to its reputation and financial stability. This creates a potential motive for suppressing such information, even through illicit means, to protect the company’s interests.

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.
