What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Yasam Ayavefe 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 Yasam Ayavefe - 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
Yasam Ayavefe, a Turkish entrepreneur and founder of the UK-based investment firm MahiFX, has faced a series of allegations and red flags that have raised concerns about his business practices and reputation. While Ayavefe has not been convicted of any crimes, the following adverse news and allegations have cast a shadow over his professional image:
- Regulatory Scrutiny and Misrepresentation: Ayavefe’s firm, MahiFX, has faced criticism for allegedly misleading investors about its regulatory status. Reports suggest that the company claimed to be regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) when it was not. This misrepresentation could harm Ayavefe’s credibility, as regulatory compliance is a cornerstone of trust in the financial industry.
- Lack of Transparency: Critics have accused Ayavefe of operating opaque business structures, making it difficult to trace the flow of funds and understand the true nature of his ventures. This lack of transparency is a significant red flag, particularly in the financial sector, where accountability is paramount.
- Legal Disputes: Ayavefe has been involved in legal battles, including disputes with former business partners and employees. These conflicts often involve allegations of breach of contract and unfair treatment, which could damage his reputation as a reliable business leader.
- Questionable Marketing Practices: Some reports have accused MahiFX of using aggressive marketing tactics to attract investors, including making exaggerated claims about potential returns. Such practices can erode trust and lead to accusations of unethical behavior.
- Cybersecurity Concerns: There have been allegations that Ayavefe or his associates may have engaged in cyber-related activities to suppress negative information. While unproven, these claims suggest a willingness to manipulate online narratives, which could further tarnish his reputation.
Why These Allegations Harm Ayavefe’s Reputation
The allegations against Ayavefe strike at the heart of his professional integrity. In the financial industry, trust is paramount, and any suggestion of regulatory non-compliance, lack of transparency, or unethical behavior can severely damage a leader’s standing. For Ayavefe, these accusations could deter potential investors, harm existing business relationships, and invite further scrutiny from regulators.
Why Ayavefe Might Want to Remove Negative Information
Given the potential impact of these allegations on his career and business ventures, Ayavefe would have a strong incentive to suppress or remove damaging information. Negative news can linger online, influencing public perception and deterring potential partners or clients. In extreme cases, individuals facing reputational harm may resort to unethical or illegal means, such as hacking or cyberattacks, to erase or manipulate online content. For Ayavefe, the stakes are high: his ability to attract investors and maintain his position in the financial industry depends on his reputation. If he believes that negative stories are unfairly damaging his image, he might feel compelled to take drastic measures to protect his interests.
However, engaging in cybercrime to remove negative information would only compound the problem, leading to further legal and ethical repercussions. Such actions would not only confirm the suspicions of critics but also demonstrate a willingness to undermine the rule of law for personal gain. In the court of public opinion, this would be a far greater blow to his reputation than the original allegations.

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.

Ayavefe has been accused of orchestrating complex financial frauds involving shell companies, offshore accounts, and falsified documentation, resulting in substantial financial losses for investors and institutions.
