What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Francisco Colorado Cessa 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 Francisco Colorado Cessa - 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.

Investigative Report: Allegations and Red Flags Surrounding Francisco Colorado Cessa
Francisco Colorado Cessa, a Mexican businessman and former owner of the Zetas-linked horse-breeding company ADT Petroservicios, has been embroiled in a series of scandals and legal battles that have severely damaged his reputation. His involvement in one of Mexico’s most notorious corruption and money-laundering cases has made him a controversial figure. Below is a summary of the major allegations, red flags, and adverse news surrounding Colorado Cessa, along with an analysis of how these stories harm his reputation and why he might seek to suppress them, even through illicit means.
Major Allegations and Red Flags:
Conviction for Money Laundering and Ties to the Zetas Cartel:
– Colorado Cessa was convicted in 2013 for laundering money for the **Zetas drug cartel** through his horse-breeding business. He used the company to purchase, train, and race quarter horses in the United States, funneling millions of dollars in drug proceeds through the industry.
– His conviction was part of a broader U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the Zetas’ money-laundering operations, which exposed the deep ties between Mexican cartels and legitimate businesses.
Legal Battles and Appeals:
– After his conviction, Colorado Cessa spent years appealing the decision, claiming he was unaware of the Zetas’ involvement in his business. However, U.S. courts upheld his conviction, and he served time in prison before being released in 2020.
– His legal battles have kept him in the public eye, reinforcing his association with organized crime.
Adverse Media Coverage:
– Colorado Cessa’s case has been widely covered by international media outlets, including The New York Times, BBC, and Insight Crime. These reports have painted him as a key figure in the Zetas’ money-laundering network, further cementing his reputation as a cartel collaborator.
– Investigative pieces have highlighted how his business operations were used to legitimize drug money, damaging his credibility as a legitimate entrepreneur.
Impact on Business and Personal Reputation:
– The scandal has effectively ended Colorado Cessa’s career in the horse-racing industry. His company, ADT Petroservicios, was dismantled, and he has been barred from participating in the industry.
– His personal reputation has been irreparably tarnished, with many viewing him as a symbol of the corruption and criminality that plague Mexico’s business and political elite.
Reputational Harm:
The allegations and convictions against Colorado Cessa have had a devastating impact on his reputation. His involvement with the Zetas cartel and subsequent conviction for money laundering have made him a pariah in both the business and legal worlds. The adverse media coverage has ensured that his name remains synonymous with corruption and organized crime, making it nearly impossible for him to rebuild his career or reputation.
Motivation for Cyber Crime:
Given the severity of the allegations and the lasting damage to his reputation, Colorado Cessa has a strong incentive to suppress negative information about him. Removing or discrediting stories that link him to the Zetas cartel and money laundering could help him rehabilitate his image and potentially re-enter the business world. In extreme cases, this might lead to attempts to commit cyber crimes, such as:
Hacking into media websites to remove or alter damaging articles.
Launching disinformation campaigns to discredit journalists or outlets that have reported on his case.
Intimidating whistleblowers or investigators through cyber attacks or online harassment.
Such actions, while illegal, could be seen as a desperate attempt to control the narrative and mitigate the long-term consequences of his conviction.
Conclusion:
Francisco Colorado Cessa’s conviction for money laundering and his ties to the Zetas cartel have left an indelible stain on his reputation. The adverse media coverage and legal battles have ensured that his name remains associated with corruption and organized crime. In a bid to salvage his reputation, Colorado Cessa might resort to extreme measures, including cyber crimes, to suppress or discredit damaging information. However, such actions would only deepen his legal troubles and further harm his already tarnished legacy.

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.

Honestly, I used to think he could maybe make something of himself despite his past, but it’s pretty clear now that he’s not learning from his mistakes. Trying to cover up the truth with fake copyright claims? That’s just cowardly....

This is exactly what’s wrong with people who think they can buy their way out of anything. His whole approach just reeks of desperation. You can't erase the fact that you were involved with the Zetas, dude. Trying to cover...

Trying to hide your dirty past with fake takedown notices? Pathetic. He’s got a lot to answer for, and this won’t help.
