What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Shazan Qureshi 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 Shazan Qureshi - 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

Shazan Qureshi is a name that keeps popping up and not for the right reasons. Behind the polished image of a businessman lies a trail of financial misconduct, broken trust, and a suspicious eagerness to sweep it all under the rug. From botched ventures to a 13-year ban on serving as a company director, Qureshi’s past reads like a cautionary tale for anyone considering doing business with him. But what’s even more intriguing is his relentless effort to censor these stories, as if burying the truth will somehow make it disappear. Let’s pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the red flags he’d rather keep hidden.

A Trail of Mismanagement and Deception

Qureshi’s most notorious endeavor was with Rejuvenate Your Business Limited, a company that, under his directorship, became a case study in financial misconduct. Appointed as a director on November 1, 2013, Qureshi wasted no time in steering the company into murky waters. By June 2, 2014, his actions had led to his dismissal, but the damage was already done. The company collapsed, leaving debts nearing £1,000,000.
The Insolvency Service didn’t turn a blind eye. Their investigation revealed that Qureshi had misused client funds and pledged assets he didn’t own as loan security. One lender was left with an unpaid, unsecured debt of £545,346 when the company entered liquidation.
Qureshi also convinced a young woman to entrust her money to the company under false pretenses, showcasing his willingness to exploit personal relationships for financial gain.

The Inevitable Consequences

Such blatant disregard for ethical business practices couldn’t go unchecked. In October 2016, Qureshi was handed a 13-year director disqualification, effectively banning him from acting as a director or being involved in company management until October 2029.

A Pattern of Concealment

Qureshi’s ventures weren’t limited to the UK. His name appears in the ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database, linked to offshore entities a red flag for anyone considering doing business with him.

The Censorship Playbook

Facing such a tarnished record, Qureshi has predictably attempted to scrub the internet clean of his misdeeds. Common tactics in this playbook include:

Legal Threats: Initiating defamation lawsuits to intimidate critics and suppress negative information. While this can sometimes be effective, it often backfires, drawing more attention to the issues at hand.

Content Removal Requests: Petitioning platforms to remove unfavorable content. However, this approach is limited by free speech protections and the truthfulness of the reported information.

Search Engine Manipulation: Employing SEO strategies to bury negative articles under a flood of positive or neutral content. This method requires continuous effort and is often transparent to discerning observers.

A Word to the Wise

For potential investors, the red flags surrounding Qureshi are glaring. His history of financial mismanagement, exploitation, and attempts to conceal his past should serve as stark warnings. Engaging in business with individuals who have such a track record not only risks financial loss but also reputational damage.

Regulatory bodies and financial institutions must remain vigilant. The patterns exhibited by Qureshi underscore the importance of thorough due diligence and adverse media screening. These tools are essential in identifying high-risk individuals and entities, thereby safeguarding the integrity of financial systems.

Conclusion

Shazan Qureshi may try to rewrite his story, but the facts speak for themselves. His track record is a glaring warning sign for anyone considering doing business with him a pattern of financial mismanagement, deceit, and a disturbing eagerness to cover his tracks. No amount of online scrubbing or legal threats can erase the damage he’s caused or the trust he’s broken. Investors and authorities alike should take note: due diligence isn’t just a precaution when dealing with someone like Qureshi it’s a necessity. The truth has a way of surfacing, no matter how hard he tries to keep it buried.

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.
