Vito Glazers

Our review on Vito Glazers is based on his attempt to hide critical review and information from the internet, by intentionally forging a court order, impersonating a judge, doctoring his signature and submitting a fake court order to Google.

Recently, Gripeo received a couple of suspicious looking ‘court orders’ in our Google Webmaster Tool account, claiming that the Second Circuit Courts – Leon County, FL, had declared our review of Vito Glazers published at Gripeo.com to be defamatory and illegal. Since all of our reviews are based on publicly available information, there is little to no chance of any lawsuit going against us. Till date, Gripeo.com has NEVER been sued successfully anywhere across the globe for this very same reason.

Fortunately, we’re very familiar with what constitutes defamation, and how it is played inside a courtroom, in general. We immediately knew that the court order filed by Vito Glazers to Google is in fact – a forgery, especially when there were no subpoenas, notices or representation sought from Gripeo to ascertain the author’s identity, or put him/her on notice. Our review on Vito Glazers is therefore very personal because he is a businessman of suspicious character, stupid enough to commit perjury, impersonation and fraud to manage his (sic) Online Reputation.

On 27th May 2021, Gripeo published a Critical Analysis of Vito Glazers business model. The review, submitted by one of our valued Expert Reviewer, is based on publicly available data and information, including compiled reviews from other platforms. Although we never took the effort to check, we can safely assume that the review was ranking high (enough) on Google for Vito Glazers to feel uncomfortable, and generated substantial traffic to Gripeo.com.

Someone from Vito Glazers’ team must have noticed the review sometimes around August, when we first started getting ‘threats’ and ‘bribe offers’ to remove the content from our platform. Naturally, we politely declined the offer, as we always do, and advised them to resolve all issues directly with the author by posting a rebuttal on the website, if required.

By end of August, we started receiving frivolous DMCA notices designed to target this review webpage. The DMCA notices claimed that Gripeo has infringed upon Vito Glazes’ copyright by displaying his (and his girlfriend’s) photo on the aforesaid review. Here are the 4 DMCA notices filed by Vito Glazers –

We responded with a counter notice at our end, as well as replacing the allegedly ‘infringing’ images with our own creations. We acted in good faith, and as per the specified laws, to try and resolve this issue amicably. The matter ended, or so we thought.

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 –

What happened next, was utterly surprising.

On 9th Oct 2021, we received a notice from Google informing us that the Vito Glazers’ review had been removed from Google Search Index after they were served with a court order declaring the content to be illegal. As mentioned earlier, Gripeo reviews are based on publicly available data and information, and there is little to no chance of our user’s opinions being labelled as defamatory.

We immediately decided to seek legal counsel to submit our objection to this ex-parte court order and get the content re-indexed on Google Search.

Our attorney informed us that he is unable to find any record of this court order at the Second Circuit Courts – Leon County, where the order was issued from.

Furthermore, he told us that the Judge who signed the ‘alleged’ court order – Judge Terry Lewis, had actually retired many years ago. His signature was a forgery, no doubt.

Now, hold on. Vito Glazers is a serious player. He’s rich, famous, powerful and has build himself a great reputation to be an intelligent businessman. A seemingly responsible and law-abiding citizen, in a country where forging a court document is a very very serious offense.

Is this going to be his Jussie Smollet moment? We kept wondering as we dug deeper into this incident.

Soon after we confirmed that the court order was forged and Google was scammed into believing it to go ahead and enforce the judge’s order, we decided to change the webpage URL hoping that it gets indexed on Google search a second time. The new URL was – http://www.gripeo.com/vito-glazers-review/ .

We emailed Vito Glazers (and his law-firm mentioned in the court order) directly, and multiple times. We were expecting them to deny any involvement in this crime, and hopefully explain how this incident took place at all. Perhaps they had hired a rogue-offshore fly-by-night online reputation management agency who were behind this act and had no knowledge about this at all.

What happened next cleared all our doubts.

We did NOT receive any reply, acknowledgement or rebuttal from either Vito Glazers, or his attorney – AndrewsLaw regarding the fake court order. Incidentally, AndrewsLaw.com (Vito Glazer’s Lawyer) website was taken down soon after we sent this email.

Within a few days of changing the URL for Vito Glazers Review, it started ranking on Google once again. While we were waiting for Vito Glazers or someone from his team, or lawyers, to respond to our email, Google informed us on 24th Nov 2021, that they have received ANOTHER court order and have removed the new URL for the review.

Dammit, here we go again.

What makes the second fake court order submitted by Vito to Google unique is that the people committing these crimes are blatant and willing to risk serious jail time in order to knock down their competitors. Just how much success impostors like Vito Glazers find in their forged court order scams will certainly determine just how much of a scourge this could soon become on the internet.

The absolute disregard for the law, and consequences of committing such a crime, once again . We were shocked. Google had removed our Review on Vito Glazers because of a fake court document a second time. “This can’t be happening to us”, we thought.

This time though, we will ensure that there are consequences. So we dug deeper into this fake court order and here are some of our findings –

Here is the doctored and forged court order submitted by Vito Glazers –

For a forensic investigator, all it needs is to examine the meta-tags, document history and the variables in the alleged court order to determine its authenticity. Here are a few points to consider –

The court has been notified of this forgery, and we are expecting some major development in the coming weeks in this matter.

Under Florida Statute 831.01, the crime of Forgery is committed when a person falsifies, alters, counterfeits, or forges a document that carries “legal efficacy” with the intent to injure or defraud another person or entity.

Forging a document is considered a white-collar crime. It involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deceiving another person. It can also involve the passing along of copies of documents that are known to be false. In many states, including Florida, falsifying a document is a crime punishable as a felony.

Additionally, under Florida law, “fraud on the court” is where “a party has sentiently set in motion some unconscionable scheme calculated to interfere with the judicial system’s ability impartially to adjudicate a matter by improperly influencing the trier of fact or unfairly hampering the presentation of the opposing party’s claim or defense.”  Cox v. Burke, 706 So. 2d 43, 46 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998) (quoting Aoude v. Mobil Oil Corp., 892 F.2d 1115, 1118 (1st Cir. 1989)). 

The crime of Forgery is a Third Degree Felony in Florida and is punishable by up to five (5) years in prison, five (5) years of probation, and a $5,000 fine.

Just to sum up, forging a court order and a Judge’s signature is assigned a Level 1 offense severity ranking under Florida’s Criminal Punishment Code. A judge may sentence a person convicted of Forgery to probation, but may also impose a sentence up to the statutory maximum of five years in prison

Business(men) like Vito Glazers invest a lot into their Online Reputation Management, and for good reason. And it works wonders for then. However, when they fail to mitigate a critical review, unpopular opinion or a damaging public information, it hurts their ego. And for someone as ‘rich’ and ‘powerful’ as Vito Glazers, it’s all about their ego.

Gripeo.com will in our own capacity, do all we can to hold someone responsible for this incident. Here is what are we preparing for –
