I doubt it… You know how there’s companies to boost your SEO? There’s companies that do literally the opposite - you pay them to bury things on the Internet. It’s a service basically exclusively for the rich… There’s no money to be made doing this, if a company does it after an exposure they get a brush with the Streisand effect. But if you’re rich…want the wrong face to come up on Google images? Don’t want pictures of your house? Want people to find the wrong address for you? You can pay to make it happen
I knew a guy who used to do that. This sounds like their techniques - they start by using legal threats to hopefully get the host to take stuff down, and if that doesn’t work they then generally use SEO techniques to fill the first 2 pages with misinfo
Sounds to me like a nervous billionaire offered “their guy” to help with the situation
