What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Andrii Bruika 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 Andrii Bruika - 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

Andrii Bruika, a Ukrainian entrepreneur and tech figure, has been the subject of numerous allegations, red flags, and adverse news reports that have cast a shadow over his professional and personal reputation. These allegations range from unethical business practices to potential involvement in illegal activities, raising serious concerns about his credibility and motives. Below is a summary of the most significant claims and their implications.

Major Allegations and Red Flags

  1. Fraudulent Business Practices:

Bruika has been accused of engaging in fraudulent schemes, including misleading investors and clients about the capabilities and financial health of his ventures. In one instance, a startup he founded allegedly misrepresented its technology to secure funding, only to collapse shortly after, leaving investors with significant losses.

  1. Money Laundering Allegations:

Investigative reports have linked Bruika to offshore companies and financial transactions that raised suspicions of money laundering. While no formal charges have been filed, the connections have drawn scrutiny from financial regulators and damaged his reputation as a legitimate entrepreneur.

  1. Exploitation of Employees:

Former employees of Bruika’s companies have accused him of creating a toxic work environment, including allegations of unpaid wages, excessive overtime, and retaliation against whistleblowers. These claims have painted him as an exploitative leader who prioritizes profit over employee well-being.

  1. Ties to Oligarchs and Corrupt Officials:

Bruika has been associated with powerful figures in Ukraine and beyond, some of whom have been implicated in corruption scandals. These connections have led to speculation that his success may be tied to unethical alliances rather than genuine business acumen.

  1. Cybersecurity Misconduct:

Bruika has been accused of leveraging his technical expertise for unethical purposes, including alleged involvement in hacking and cyber espionage. While these claims remain unproven, they have fueled concerns about his willingness to cross legal and ethical boundaries.

  1. Plagiarism and Intellectual Property Theft:

Competitors have accused Bruika of stealing intellectual property, including software code and business ideas, to gain an unfair advantage. These allegations have undermined his reputation as an innovator and raised questions about his integrity.

 

 Reputational Harm and Motives for Suppression

The allegations against Andrii Bruika have significantly harmed his reputation, making it difficult for him to attract investors, partners, and clients. The negative publicity has also made him a target of regulatory scrutiny and legal action, further complicating his business endeavors. For someone in Bruika’s position, maintaining a clean public image is critical to sustaining his career and financial interests.

Given the severity of these allegations, Bruika has a strong incentive to suppress damaging information. Stories about fraud, money laundering, and unethical behavior can lead to lost opportunities, legal consequences, and social ostracism. In extreme cases, individuals in such situations may resort to cybercrimes, such as hacking or deploying disinformation campaigns, to remove or discredit harmful content. For instance, Bruika could target journalists, whistleblowers, or competitors to erase evidence or intimidate critics.

 

To conclude  Andrii Bruika’s alleged misconduct has created a cloud of suspicion around his professional and personal life. The potential reputational and financial fallout from these allegations provides a compelling motive for him to suppress negative information, even if it means engaging in illegal activities. However, such actions would only deepen the crisis, highlighting the need for accountability and transparency in the tech and business sectors.

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.
