What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Any.Money 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 Any.Money - 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

Any.Money, a fintech company specializing in digital payments and cryptocurrency services, has faced a series of allegations, red flags, and adverse news reports that have raised serious concerns about its business practices, regulatory compliance, and ethical standards. These issues have significantly damaged the company’s reputation and could explain why Any.Money might resort to extreme measures, including cyber crimes, to suppress damaging information.

 Major Allegations and Red Flags

  1. Facilitation of Illegal Activities:

Any.Money has been accused of enabling money laundering and other illicit financial activities through its platform. Investigative reports have linked the company to transactions involving dark web marketplaces and fraudulent schemes, raising questions about its due diligence processes.

  1. Regulatory Non-Compliance:

The company has faced scrutiny from financial regulators for failing to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. In 2022, Any.Money was fined for inadequate compliance measures, further damaging its credibility.

  1. Security Breaches:

Any.Money has experienced multiple cybersecurity breaches, exposing sensitive customer data and funds. In one high-profile incident in 2023, hackers stole millions of dollars from user accounts, leading to accusations that the company had neglected basic security protocols.

  1. Misleading Marketing Practices:

Any.Money has been accused of using deceptive marketing tactics to attract users, including false claims about the security and profitability of its services. These allegations have eroded trust in the company and led to lawsuits from disgruntled customers.

  1. Exploitation of Users:

Critics have accused Any.Money of charging exorbitant fees and engaging in predatory lending practices, particularly targeting vulnerable populations. These claims have painted the company as exploitative and unethical.

  1. Ties to Controversial Figures:

Any.Money has been linked to individuals and entities with questionable reputations, including those involved in illegal activities and financial fraud. These associations have fueled speculation about the company’s integrity and the legitimacy of its operations.

 

 Reputational Harm and Motives for Suppression

The allegations against Any.Money have severely harmed its reputation, making it difficult for the company to attract new users and retain existing ones. The negative publicity has also made it a target for regulatory scrutiny and legal action, further complicating its business operations. For a fintech company, trust and credibility are paramount, and the loss of these can be devastating.

Given the gravity of these allegations, Any.Money has a strong motive to suppress damaging information. Negative news stories, whistleblower accounts, and regulatory actions can lead to lost users, declining revenues, and legal penalties. In extreme cases, the company might resort to cyber crimes, such as hacking or deploying malware, to remove or discredit harmful content. For instance, Any.Money could target journalists, whistleblowers, or competitors to erase evidence or intimidate critics.

 

To Conclude Any.Money’s repeated ethical and legal lapses have cast a shadow over its operations. The company’s desire to protect its reputation and financial interests could drive it to engage in illegal activities, including cyber crimes, to silence critics and erase damaging information. However, such actions would only deepen the crisis, highlighting the need for greater accountability and transparency in the fintech industry.

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.
