What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Weiss Consulting & Marketing Gmbh 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 Weiss Consulting & Marketing Gmbh - 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
Weiss Consulting & Marketing GmbH, a prominent German consultancy firm led by Max Weiss, has recently come under scrutiny following allegations that question the ethical integrity of its business practices. With a client base exceeding 6,000 and a strong reputation for assisting entrepreneurs in scaling their businesses, these accusations, if substantiated, could cause significant harm to the company’s credibility and public image. Below is a summary of the key allegations and adverse reports linked to Weiss Consulting & Marketing GmbH:
1.Fraudulent Copyright Takedown Notices
The company has been accused of submitting fabricated copyright infringement complaints to suppress negative online content, including critical reviews and adverse media coverage. This alleged misuse of legal mechanisms raises concerns of perjury, fraud, and impersonation, with claims that the company attempted to manipulate public perception by removing unfavorable materials from search engines and platforms.
2. Suppression of Negative Information
Evidence suggests deliberate attempts to silence critics and eliminate unflattering information about the company. Rather than addressing concerns through legitimate means, Weiss Consulting & Marketing GmbH has allegedly resorted to questionable tactics to preserve its public image.
3. Reputation Management Through Dubious Methods
The firm has faced accusations of prioritizing its online reputation over transparency, using unethical methods to ensure only positive content remains visible to potential clients and partners. Such practices could undermine the trust of stakeholders and raise doubts about the company’s commitment to integrity.
Reputational Damage and Motives for Cyber Crime
The allegations and red flags surrounding Weiss Consulting & Marketing GmbH have the potential to cause serious reputational harm. In the consulting industry, credibility and trust are essential to maintaining a strong client base and securing new business opportunities. Negative information, whether substantiated or not, can spread rapidly in the digital age, leading to a loss of trust among clients, partners, and the broader public.
The pressure to control the narrative and mitigate reputational damage could create a motive for the company to suppress unfavorable information at all costs. This might include resorting to unethical or even illegal methods, such as hacking, fabricating evidence, or manipulating online content. Such actions, while aimed at short-term damage control, would pose significant legal and ethical risks.
However, engaging in cyber crime is not only illegal but also deeply counterproductive. It contradicts the principles of transparency and accountability, which are vital for maintaining trust in the business world. If Weiss Consulting & Marketing GmbH were to engage in such activities, it would only escalate its challenges, leading to further legal scrutiny and reputational harm.
Conclusion
The allegations against Weiss Consulting & Marketing GmbH depict a troubling pattern of behavior that raises serious ethical concerns. While the desire to protect its reputation is understandable, any attempts to do so through fraudulent or illegal means would only compound the company’s problems. In an industry built on trust and integrity, Weiss Consulting & Marketing GmbH must address these issues transparently and ethically to restore public confidence and safeguard its future.

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.
