Nicholas Coppola tries to hide Meta Utopia Ponzi association

Nicholas Coppola posted himself on Instagram with Meta Utopia's founder. Then he tried to erase the evidence.

When BehindMLM published its investigation into Meta Utopia—a metaverse MLM crypto Ponzi scheme—researchers tied Coppola directly to the operation through his own Instagram story. That story has since disappeared. Coppola apparently preferred to keep his involvement with the scam quiet.

He didn't take that silence lying down. Instead, Coppola hired a reputation management outfit called Copyright Support to scrub the article from the internet. Over 24 hours, BehindMLM received two emails from "Dincer Odabasi" claiming to represent the company, demanding the site remove its reporting on Coppola's Ponzi ties.

Copyright Support promises on its poorly designed website to "permanently and decisively remove negative/reputation-damaging news found on the Internet and in the Google search engine." It's a business model built for people with something to hide.

Odabasi's first email deployed the "right to be forgotten" strategy—a legal maneuver scammers increasingly use to bury their tracks. The message cited European privacy law and Turkish broadcasting regulations, arguing BehindMLM was violating Coppola's rights by reporting on him.

The notice was textbook boilerplate. Odabasi made a critical mistake: he'd apparently copied-pasted the same takedown template into an unrelated email to Amazon, referencing a different client and website. Both emails contained identical language. It's sloppy work for someone supposedly operating a professional reputation management service.

The legal arguments crumbled under inspection. Right to be Forgotten exists under EU law—a tool that legislators conceived with noble intentions but which scammers have weaponized to hide their past. Odabasi also tried to invoke Turkish law as if it carried weight in the United States. It doesn't.

BehindMLM doesn't recognize Right to be Forgotten. The site operates under US law, not European regulations. More fundamentally, Coppola sent the takedown notice just four days after publication. That timeline alone suggests he was panicking about exposure rather than pursuing a legitimate privacy claim.

This is how Ponzi operators protect themselves in the modern era. When they can't stop investigations through legal intimidation, they hire middlemen to request content removal through vague privacy claims and technical legal arguments. It's deniable. It's cheaper than actual litigation. And it works often enough to make it worth trying.

Coppola's move landed him on BehindMLM's DMCA Wall of Shame. The site documents exactly these kinds of takedown attempts—efforts by fraudsters to hide evidence of their schemes rather than answer for them in the open.

He wanted to be a crypto bro Ponzi scammer in secret. He failed.
