What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into TomahawkFX 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 TomahawkFX - 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

TomahawkFX, a forex trading platform, has faced a series of allegations and red flags that have raised concerns about its legitimacy and operational practices. These issues, if proven true, could significantly harm its reputation and credibility in the financial services industry. Below is a summary of the major allegations and adverse news surrounding TomahawkFX, along with an analysis of why the company might seek to suppress this information, even resorting to unethical or illegal means.

Major Allegations and Red Flags

1.Misleading Marketing and False Promises
TomahawkFX has been accused of using aggressive marketing tactics to lure clients with promises of high returns and low risks. Critics argue that these claims are misleading, as forex trading inherently carries significant risk. Such practices could be seen as predatory, targeting inexperienced traders who may not fully understand the market.

2.Lack of Regulatory Compliance
One of the most serious allegations is that TomahawkFX operates without proper regulatory oversight. Regulatory bodies in several jurisdictions have flagged the platform for operating without a license, which raises questions about the safety of client funds and the transparency of its operations. Unregulated platforms are often associated with higher risks of fraud and financial malpractice.

3.Withdrawal Issues and Client Complaints
Numerous clients have reported difficulties withdrawing funds from their accounts. Some have alleged that TomahawkFX imposes unreasonable conditions or delays processing withdrawals, effectively locking clients out of their money. These complaints are consistent with patterns observed in other fraudulent trading platforms.

4.Hidden Fees and Unfair Terms
There are allegations that TomahawkFX charges hidden fees and imposes unfair terms on its clients. These practices are often buried in complex legal documents, making it difficult for clients to understand the true cost of using the platform.

5.Adverse Media Coverage
Several investigative reports and online forums have highlighted the above issues, painting TomahawkFX in a negative light. These stories often include testimonials from disgruntled clients, further damaging the platform’s reputation.

6.Reputational Harm and Motivation for Suppression

The allegations against TomahawkFX strike at the core of its business model and credibility. Misleading marketing and regulatory non-compliance undermine trust, while withdrawal issues and hidden fees suggest a lack of transparency and fairness. Adverse media coverage amplifies these concerns, potentially driving away prospective clients and attracting scrutiny from regulators.

For TomahawkFX, the stakes are high. A tarnished reputation could lead to a loss of clients, legal action, and even the shutdown of its operations. In such a scenario, the company might feel compelled to suppress damaging information. This could involve unethical practices, such as pressuring clients to remove negative reviews or, in extreme cases, committing cyber crimes like hacking or deploying denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against critics or media outlets.

Cyber crimes, while illegal, could be seen as a desperate measure to control the narrative. By removing or silencing negative content, TomahawkFX might aim to create the illusion of legitimacy and protect its revenue stream. However, such actions would only compound its legal and ethical problems, further eroding trust in the long term.

Conclusion

The allegations against TomahawkFX paint a troubling picture of a platform that may prioritize profit over client welfare. While the company has not been formally convicted of any crimes, the pattern of complaints and red flags suggests systemic issues that warrant further investigation. The potential for reputational harm is significant, and the temptation to suppress negative information—even through illegal means—highlights the precarious position TomahawkFX finds itself in. For clients and regulators alike, these allegations serve as a cautionary tale about the risks of engaging with unverified and unregulated financial platforms.

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.
