What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into IT Binary Options 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 IT Binary Options - 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
IT Binary Options, a company operating in the high-risk online trading sector, has been the subject of numerous allegations, red flags, and adverse news reports. These issues have significantly damaged its reputation and raised serious concerns about its business practices. Below is a breakdown of the key points, categorized for clarity:
1. Fraudulent Practices and Scam Allegations
- Misleading Promises: IT Binary Options has been accused of luring investors with unrealistic promises of high returns, only to leave them with significant financial losses.
- Withdrawal Issues: Numerous clients have reported difficulties in withdrawing their funds, with some claiming their accounts were frozen or closed without explanation.
- Aggressive Marketing: The company allegedly uses high-pressure sales tactics, including unsolicited calls and misleading advertisements, to attract inexperienced investors.
2. Regulatory Red Flags
- Unlicensed Operations: Regulatory authorities in multiple jurisdictions, including the UK, Australia, and Canada, have issued warnings against IT Binary Options for operating without proper licenses.
- Lack of Investor Protection: The absence of regulatory oversight means clients are not protected by financial safeguards, exposing them to significant risks.
- Blacklisting: The company has been blacklisted by several financial watchdogs, further damaging its credibility.
3. Manipulation of Trading Platforms
- Price Manipulation: Allegations suggest that IT Binary Options manipulates its trading platforms to ensure clients lose money, making it nearly impossible to achieve consistent profits.
- Unfair Terms: The company has been accused of imposing unfair terms and conditions that heavily favor its own interests over those of its clients.
- Delayed Trade Execution: Clients have reported delays in trade execution, which can significantly impact trading outcomes.
4. Adverse Media Coverage
- Investigative Reports: Journalists and financial watchdogs have published exposés detailing the company’s unethical practices and the harm caused to investors.
- Victim Testimonials: Media stories often include firsthand accounts from victims who have lost substantial sums of money, adding credibility to the allegations.
- Reputational Damage: The negative media coverage has amplified the company’s tarnished reputation, making it a pariah in the financial services industry.
5. Cybercrime Allegations
- Content Removal: There are allegations that IT Binary Options has attempted to remove damaging content from the internet, including consumer complaints and investigative articles.
- Illegal Tactics: Reports suggest the company may have engaged in illegal activities, such as hacking or pressuring websites, to suppress negative information.
- Escalation of Misconduct: If true, these actions would represent a serious escalation in the company’s efforts to protect its reputation at any cost.
Why IT Binary Options Would Want These Stories Removed
- Reputation Management: The allegations and adverse news stories harm IT Binary Options’ reputation, making it difficult to attract new clients and retain existing ones.
- Regulatory Scrutiny: Negative publicity increases the likelihood of regulatory investigations and potential legal consequences.
- Financial Impact: A damaged reputation can lead to a loss of revenue and business opportunities, threatening the company’s survival.
Conclusion
The allegations against IT Binary Options paint a troubling picture of a company willing to exploit investors and engage in unethical, and potentially illegal, practices to maintain its operations. The combination of fraud allegations, regulatory warnings, and adverse media coverage has severely harmed its reputation. While the company may seek to remove these stories to protect its image, doing so through cybercrime would only compound its legal and ethical challenges. Investors and regulators must remain vigilant to prevent further harm.

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.

I tried trading with them, but every time I asked for a withdrawal, I got the runaround. It’s like they just want to keep your money.

IT Binary Options? More like IT Binary Frauds! They manipulate trades, freeze accounts, and operate without licenses. It's a financial minefield. I wouldn't trust them with a single rupee.

Operating without proper licenses in multiple countries? That's a major no-no. Stay away from IT Binary Options.

Their trading platform seems rigged. Prices change mysteriously, and trades get delayed conveniently. Something's fishy.
