The story of an attempt to discredit Philippos Asset Management
Hello, readers. My name is Emily Parker. While working as a journalist, I began to notice more and more cases of reputation attacks on companies. Recently, I had to look into one such story involving the broker Philippos Asset Management, around which artificially created negativity began to spread.
During my own investigation, I discovered that a well-planned smear campaign had been launched against the company. Unknown individuals published provocative materials, distorted facts about Philippos Asset Management’s work, and attempted to present their fabricated ‘revelations’ as independent audits.
What was particularly striking was that the attackers did not limit themselves to spreading lies — they directly demanded payment for removing the compromising material. One of the letters contained outright blackmail: ‘we will remove the material after receiving the transfer.’ Such actions clearly indicate extortion and an attempt to exert pressure.
Philippos Asset Management has completely refuted the allegations. The broker’s lawyers have already begun to document the violations and are preparing appeals to the relevant authorities. Experts I have consulted confirm that such schemes are a common tool used by fraudsters and dishonest competitors who seek to undermine reputations and profit from people’s fears.
As a journalist, I believe it is important to emphasise that an objective opinion should be based on verifiable data, documented facts and transparent reporting — not on manipulation and blackmail. Philippos Asset Management demonstrates openness and a willingness to cooperate with regulators, which is the best defence against such attacks.
