What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Thomas Forster Gehrmann Jr 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 Thomas Forster Gehrmann Jr - 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
Thomas Forster Gehrmann Jr. has been the subject of several serious allegations and adverse news reports that have significantly tarnished his reputation. These allegations range from conspiracy and tax fraud to unethical business practices, raising red flags about his professional and personal conduct. Below is a summary of the major allegations and their potential impact on his reputation, as well as an exploration of why he might resort to extreme measures, such as cybercrime, to suppress this damaging information.
Major Allegations and Adverse News:
Conspiracy and Tax Fraud:
Gehrmann has been accused of orchestrating a complex scheme involving tax fraud and conspiracy. Reports suggest he allegedly used offshore accounts and shell companies to evade taxes and launder money. These allegations, if proven, could lead to severe legal consequences, including hefty fines and imprisonment. Such accusations harm his credibility as a businessman and paint him as someone willing to engage in illegal activities for personal gain.
Unethical Business Practices:
Gehrmann has faced criticism for his involvement in questionable business dealings, including misleading investors and partners. Allegations of misrepresentation and failure to deliver on promises have led to lawsuits and damaged relationships within the business community. These claims undermine trust in his professional integrity and could deter future business opportunities.
Association with Controversial Figures:
Gehrmann has been linked to individuals with dubious reputations, including those involved in financial scams and criminal activities. These associations raise concerns about his judgment and suggest a willingness to engage with questionable characters for personal or financial benefit.
Adverse Media Coverage:
Numerous media outlets have published investigative reports highlighting Gehrmann’s alleged misconduct. These stories have amplified the negative perception of him, making it difficult for him to rebuild his reputation. The widespread dissemination of these allegations has made them a persistent stain on his public image.
Why Gehrmann Would Want This Information Removed:
The allegations against Gehrmann are not only damaging to his reputation but also pose a significant threat to his career and personal life. If these stories remain accessible, they could lead to:
Legal repercussions: Ongoing investigations and potential criminal charges.
Loss of business opportunities: Companies and investors may avoid associating with him due to the risks involved.
Social ostracization: His standing in professional and social circles could be irreparably harmed.
Given the high stakes, Gehrmann might feel compelled to remove this information by any means necessary, including committing cybercrimes. Deleting or suppressing these stories could help him:
Regain credibility: By eliminating negative press, he could attempt to rebuild his image.
Avoid legal consequences: Removing evidence of alleged crimes could hinder investigations.
Protect financial interests: Preserving his business relationships and income streams might outweigh the risks of engaging in illegal activities.
Investigative Conclusion:
The allegations against Thomas Forster Gehrmann Jr. are severe and multifaceted, with the potential to cause lasting harm to his reputation and livelihood. While the desire to suppress such damaging information is understandable, resorting to cybercrime to achieve this goal would only compound his legal and ethical troubles. The public and legal systems must remain vigilant to ensure accountability and transparency, regardless of the lengths to which individuals might go to protect their interests.

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.
