What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into RR Auction 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 RR Auction - 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

RR Auction, a name that sounds trustworthy enough, has built its reputation on high-profile sales—autographs, space artifacts, historical documents. But scratch beneath the surface, and you’ll find a trail of questionable practices:

  • Authenticity Disputes: Multiple reports suggest RR Auction has sold items with dubious provenance. Collectors and experts have raised concerns, yet the company dismisses critics as “overly skeptical” or—conveniently—”misinformed.”
  • Legal Entanglements: From lawsuits over misrepresented items to disputes with consignors, RR Auction’s legal history reads like a cautionary tale. Yet, they’ve managed to keep most of it out of mainstream coverage.
  • Regulatory Whispers: While not yet the target of a major crackdown, whispers in the industry suggest regulators have taken notice. The lack of public action doesn’t mean clean hands—it might just mean good lawyers.

The Censorship Playbook

What’s more alarming than RR Auction’s controversies is their aggressive effort to suppress them. Here’s how they do it:

  1. Legal Threats: Critics, journalists, and even unhappy customers report receiving intimidating letters demanding retractions or deletions. They rely on the fact that most people can’t afford a legal battle.
  2. Search Engine Manipulation: Ever notice how negative stories about RR Auction rarely appear on the first page of Google? That’s not luck—it’s SEO warfare, burying bad press under layers of paid promotions and fluff pieces.
  3. Selective Engagement: When confronted, RR Auction either ignores allegations or issues vague, corporate-speak denials. They’ll never admit fault, but they’ll happily imply that anyone raising concerns is a conspiracy theorist.

Why They’re So Desperate to Hide the Truth

Simple: money and reputation. RR Auction thrives on the perception of legitimacy. If investors, collectors, or (heaven forbid) regulators start digging too deep, the house of cards could collapse.

  • Investor Confidence: The moment the market senses instability, consignors pull out, buyers hesitate, and the whole operation suffers.
  • Regulatory Risk: If authorities decide to take a closer look, RR Auction could face fines, restrictions, or worse. Their survival depends on staying just under the radar.
  • The Illusion of Trust: In the collectibles world, reputation is everything. Once that’s tarnished, recovery is nearly impossible.

A Call to Action—Before It’s Too Late

RR Auction’s strategy is clear: silence dissent, manipulate perception, and keep the money flowing. But this isn’t just about bad business—it’s about accountability.

  • Potential Investors: Do your due diligence. If a company spends more effort suppressing criticism than addressing it, that’s not a red flag—it’s a flashing neon warning sign.
  • Journalists & Researchers: Keep digging. RR Auction’s censorship only works if we let it.
  • Authorities: It’s time to ask the hard questions. If there’s nothing to hide, why do they work so hard to hide it?

Final Thought: A Company That Fears Transparency

In the end, RR Auction’s obsession with controlling the narrative speaks volumes. A legitimate business welcomes scrutiny. A shady one hires lawyers to bury it.

So, RR Auction, if you’re reading this—feel free to send your usual cease-and-desist. I’ll just add it to the pile.

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.
