A number of days in the past BehindMLM revealed its Meta Utopia evaluate.
Meta Utopia itself is an unremarkable “metaverse” MLM crypto Ponzi scheme.
As a part of our analysis into it nevertheless, we tied Nicholas Coppola to the Ponzi scheme’s founder.
Or slightly he did, by a since-deleted Instagram story:
Seems Coppola wasn’t proud of being publicly tied to Meta Utopia. He solely needs to be a crypto bro Ponzi scammer in secret.
Right this moment we welcome Nicholas Coppola to BehindMLM’s DMCA Wall of Disgrace.
Over the previous 24 hours BehindMLM has obtained two emails from “Dincer Odabasi” from “Copyright Help”. The emails have been despatched on behalf of Nicholas Coppola.
On its poorly designed web site, Copyright Help guarantees to
completely and decisively take away detrimental/reputation-damaging information discovered on the Web and within the Google search engine.
In his first e-mail, Odabasi makes an attempt to drag the previous “proper to be forgotten” grift.
Expensive Madam,
Due to the fitting to be forgotten and We provide and demand that the content material be blocked in line with the privateness clause.
We contacted the web site that shared the content material, however no response was obtained. Due to this fact, we provide and request you to disable the content material.
As it’s identified, in line with the primary paragraph of article 9 of the Legislation No. 5651 on the Regulation of Broadcasts Made on the Web and Combating Crimes Dedicated Via These Broadcasts, If they can’t attain it, they could apply to the internet hosting supplier and request that the content material be eliminated by warning methodology.
Once more, the second paragraph of the identical article has the availability that “the requests of people that declare that their private rights have been violated because of the content material of the published on the web are answered by the content material and/or internet hosting supplier inside twenty-four hours on the newest”.
We request that the matter filed on behalf of our consultant be eliminated. We’ve the fitting to limit entry to content material on the grounds of the European proper to be forgotten and the privateness of personal life.

It is a boilerplate discover these scammers ship out. I do know that as a result of Odabasi copied one other unrelated e-mail containing the identical discover to Amazon, referencing one other web site and shopper (ruhroh GDPR fail), into the physique of the e-mail Odabasi despatched me.
In any occasion, no matter noble concepts lawmakers might need initially had, Europe’s Proper to be Forgotten laws is, in observe, a device scammers use to cover their previous.
BehindMLM doesn’t acknowledge Proper to be Forgotten as a result of it doesn’t function underneath EU regulation. Moreover the time interval right here is 4 days from publication to receipt of a Proper to be Forgotten takedown discover.
Maybe preempting pushback, Odabasi went on to misrepresent Turkish regulation as having any bearing within the US.
As acknowledged within the Structure, we refuse to take away the content material we now have notified you because of the Proper to be Forgotten and the USA Authorized Content material Elimination Request Pursuant to Legislation No. 5651.
Placing apart that sentence doesn’t even make sense, “the Proper to be Forgotten and the USA Authorized Content material Elimination Request” isn’t a factor. It’s solely made up.
Legislation No. 5651 is a few regulation Turkey handed in 2020. It’s localized to Turkey and once more has nothing to do with the US.
Odabasi adopted up his unique e-mail a couple of hours later, this time threatening copyright associated motion.
We ask you to take away your content material that violates the privateness of our consultant’s personal life.
Sadly for you if you happen to don’t take away the information content material ,We’ll contact your internet hosting firm, Google, and file a copyright declare.
I’m asking you, please, to place the story away.
