Exposing Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences, and DV Biologics’ fake DMCA case
Review of Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics is based on this attempt to hide critical reviews and information from the internet by way of impersonation, fraud, cybercrime, and perjury by deliberately submitting a fake DMCA takedown notice at Google, reported gripeo.com
Luckily, we know a lot about this way of doing things, which the Lumen Database and other groups have studied and written about over the past few years. Clearly, the copyright takedown notice that Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences, and DV Biologics sent to Google was fake, especially since the so-called “original article” was made only to trick Google’s employees.
Our review of Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences, and DV Biologics is therefore critical because it makes them entities of suspicious character, stupid enough to commit perjury, impersonation, and fraud to manage their (sic) reputation or lack thereof.

Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics attempts fraudulent copyright takedown
A thousand years of reputation can be built (or, in this case, lost) on the actions of a single moment. Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics appears to be concerned about sensitive information being posted online and has decided to take action. In this article, I’ll look into what happened, including how I decided that the takedown requests were fake, what the likely reason was for abusing the DMCA process, and what the possible effects of organized takedown attempts could be.
Since the past few years, I have been investigating fake DMCA notices sent to Google, analyzing evidence of misuse of the DMCA process. As part of this investigation, I found almost 700 notices that are likely part of a plan to use the DMCA notice and takedown process in a way that violates the law in order to get real news articles and other important information taken down from the internet.
What were they trying to hide
The wealthy Ecuadorian Isaias family that owns DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics, which have been sued by the Orange County District Attorney’s office for illegally profiting from the sale of aborted baby tissue it obtained from Planned Parenthood, came to America under a cloud of criminal allegations and scandal.
The Isaias family, including brothers Roberto, William, and Estefano Sr., sought asylum in the U.S. in 2008, after looting millions of dollars from an Ecuadorian bank. These brothers brought with them their extended families – many of which are listed as principals of DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics.
Andres Isaias, son of Estefano Isaias, Sr., is listed as President of both companies while his father and brother, Estefano Isaias, Jr., managed financial decisions and the books. Luis Isaias, son of Roberto Isaias, was also involved with the companies as were other relatives.
The notices I found 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 (an article that is a copy of the true original) that at first glance appears to have been published prior to the true original.
Then, based on the claim that this backdated article is the “original,” the copiers send a DMCA to the relevant online service providers, alleging that the true original is the copied or ‘infringing’ article and that the copied article is the “original,” requesting the takedown of the true original article. After sending the DMCA request, the person who sent the wrong notice takes down the fake original URL, likely to make sure that the article doesn’t stay online in any way. If the takedown notice is successful, this means the disappearance from the internet of information that is most likely to be legitimate speech.
Before we proceed any further, please note the following points which may come in handy as you scroll down and read the rest of the investigation –
- The original article was published on www.lifenews.com.
- The DMCAs were clearly filed by an imposter, as evident in the Lumen Database records (listed above), as well as seen on the Google Transparency Reports.
- We are taking suo-moto action and are in the process to file a counter notice and have the original web-page restored on Google Search. Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics could have sought legal counsel if the complainant believed that the content on the target web-page was indeed ‘defamatory’, or if www.ucnews.in was liable for damages for any copyright infringements. Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics took no action.
Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics, whether knowingly or unknowingly, committed several crimes. Even if Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics hired an agency to “remove the damaging webpage from Google,” ignorance is not an excuse. Exactly what was Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics expecting the agency to do to deliver the results? Magic?
Crimes Committed by Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics
Cyber Crime, Impersonation, Perjury and Fraud
We recently found out through the Google Transparency Report that a negative review of Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics had been removed from the Google Search Index or tried to be removed after a fake DMCA notice was sent to Google.
The common elements are typically as follows:
- A takedown notice seeking the removal of some online content, usually but not always a DMCA notice, is sent to either that content’s host or to a search engine such as Google.
- The content in question that the notice seeks to have taken down or de-listed is the original version of the material.
- The online content that the notice claims is the original is actually the copy, and of course, was placed online after the original material.
- Sometimes the copier goes as far as creating a fictitious website to host their copy, one that looks like a newspaper or magazine or other online publication. But of course, the domain of such a site will have a dubious provenance.
- Needless to say, the sender of the takedown notice in question doesn’t have the copyright in the material at issue, or any rights to it at all. The sender’s actual motivations vary, but may include both financial gain and censorship.
Lumen did some pilot research and wrote about this a few years ago, and we’re now looking into it again, in the hopes of both learning more about the phenomenon generally, and developing some ways in which to better recognize this type of notice earlier on, possibly even somewhat automatically, and without a lot of labor-intensive detective work on when domains were registered, when pages were created, and so on.
Our Investigation
Exposing Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics
Businesses use multiple approaches to removing unwanted material from review sites, as well as Google’s search results. Thanks to protections put in place to allow for freedom of speech in the United States, there are very few ways to go about this in a legal manner. Without a legitimate claim of defamation, copyright infringement, or some other clear violation of the law, businesses are limited in their abilities to remove negative reviews and the search results linking to them.
Faced with these limitations, some companies like Andres Isaias, DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics have gone to extreme lengths to fraudulently claim copyright ownership over a negative review in the hopes of taking it down.
All of the articles for which fake DMCA notices have been sent talk about criminal allegations like corruption, child abuse, sexual harassment, human trafficking, and financial fraud against US, Russian, and Khazakstani bureaucrats, people who allegedly belong to the Russian mafia, and people with very high net worth. Some high-profile bureaucrats are mentioned in most, if not all, of the material. Materials at the URLs in question show how a powerful group of people are connected and how they work together. They also suggest ways that this power is abused.
