What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Sonny Martorana 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 Sonny Martorana - 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
Sonny Martorana, a Montreal-based figure, has been the subject of numerous allegations and adverse news reports that have cast a shadow over his personal and professional reputation. While Martorana has maintained a relatively low public profile, the allegations against him range from financial misconduct to associations with organized crime. Below is a summary of the major allegations, red flags, and adverse news associated with Martorana, along with an analysis of why he might seek to suppress this information, potentially resorting to cybercrime.
Major Allegations and Red Flags
Ties to Organized Crime: Martorana has been repeatedly linked to organized crime networks in Montreal, particularly those involved in illegal gambling, money laundering, and drug trafficking. Investigative reports and law enforcement sources have alleged that he has acted as a facilitator or enforcer for these networks, though no convictions have been publicly reported.
Fraud and Financial Misconduct: Martorana has been accused of involvement in fraudulent schemes, including real estate fraud and investment scams. Victims have alleged that he used deceptive practices to siphon funds from unsuspecting investors, leaving them with significant financial losses. These allegations have led to civil lawsuits, though criminal charges have yet to materialize.
Violence and Intimidation: Multiple sources have accused Martorana of using violence and intimidation to achieve his goals. These allegations include physical assaults, threats, and coercion against individuals who crossed him or posed a threat to his interests. Such claims have contributed to his reputation as a feared figure in certain circles.
Corruption and Bribery: Martorana has been implicated in corruption schemes, including allegations of bribing public officials to secure favorable outcomes for his business ventures. These claims suggest a pattern of leveraging illicit relationships to gain influence and avoid legal scrutiny.
Adverse Media Coverage: Investigative journalists and media outlets have published exposés detailing Martorana’s alleged criminal activities and connections. These reports have painted him as a central figure in Montreal’s underworld, further damaging his public image.
Reputation Damage and Motives for Suppression
The allegations against Martorana have severely harmed his reputation, both personally and professionally. Ties to organized crime and accusations of violence portray him as a dangerous individual, while fraud and corruption allegations undermine his credibility as a businessman. The adverse media coverage has amplified these issues, making it difficult for Martorana to operate without scrutiny.
For Martorana, the stakes are high. Negative publicity can lead to lost business opportunities, increased law enforcement attention, and social ostracism. The desire to remove or suppress damaging stories is driven by the need to protect his image, maintain his influence, and avoid legal repercussions. Given the severity of the allegations, Martorana might view cybercrime—such as hacking into media platforms, deleting incriminating information, or orchestrating disinformation campaigns—as a desperate but effective means to control the narrative.
Conclusion
Sonny Martorana’s alleged involvement in organized crime, fraud, and violence has made him a controversial figure in Montreal. The cumulative impact of these allegations has irreparably damaged his reputation, making it difficult for him to operate without attracting scrutiny. While his motivations for suppressing negative information are clear—preserving his image and avoiding accountability—the potential use of cybercrime to achieve these ends raises serious ethical and legal concerns.

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.
