What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Timber Ridge LLC 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 Timber Ridge LLC - 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
Timber Ridge LLC, has been the subject of several allegations and adverse news reports that have raised significant red flags about his business practices and ethical conduct. These allegations, if proven true, could severely damage his reputation and that of Timber Ridge LLC, potentially leading to legal consequences and loss of business credibility.
Major Allegations and Red Flags:
Fraudulent Business Practices: Multiple sources have accused Forrest Conner of engaging in fraudulent activities, including misrepresentation of financial statements and misleading investors about the profitability of Timber Ridge LLC. These allegations suggest a pattern of deceit aimed at securing investments under false pretenses.
Environmental Violations: Timber Ridge LLC has been cited for numerous environmental violations, including illegal logging practices and failure to comply with environmental regulations. These actions not only harm the environment but also indicate a disregard for legal and ethical standards.
Labor Law Violations: There have been reports of Timber Ridge LLC violating labor laws, including allegations of unpaid wages, unsafe working conditions, and exploitation of workers. These practices highlight a lack of concern for employee welfare and legal compliance.
Legal Disputes: Forrest Conner and Timber Ridge LLC have been involved in several legal disputes, including lawsuits from former business partners and investors. These disputes often center around breaches of contract and financial mismanagement, further tarnishing their reputation.
Adverse Media Coverage: Various media outlets have published investigative reports detailing the aforementioned allegations, painting a damning picture of Forrest Conner and Timber Ridge LLC. This negative publicity has the potential to deter potential investors and partners, impacting the company’s bottom line.
Reputation Damage and Motivation for Cyber Crime:
The cumulative effect of these allegations and adverse news stories is a significant blow to the reputation of Forrest Conner and Timber Ridge LLC. In the business world, reputation is paramount, and any tarnish can lead to a loss of trust, decreased investor confidence, and ultimately, financial ruin.
Given the severity of these allegations, it is conceivable that Forrest Conner and Timber Ridge LLC would go to great lengths to mitigate the damage. This could include attempting to remove or suppress negative information from the internet. In extreme cases, this might involve committing cyber crimes such as hacking into websites, manipulating online content, or engaging in cyber attacks to silence critics and remove damaging information.
The motivation behind such actions is clear: to restore a semblance of credibility and trustworthiness. However, resorting to illegal means to achieve this end would only compound the existing issues, leading to further legal troubles and an even more tarnished reputation.
In conclusion, the allegations against Timber Ridge LLC are serious and multifaceted, encompassing fraudulent practices, environmental and labor violations, and legal disputes. The adverse media coverage has significantly harmed their reputation, providing a strong motive for potentially illicit actions to remove damaging information. However, such actions would only serve to exacerbate their problems, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues through legal and ethical means.

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.
