The campaign against fraudulent networks operating from Israel is becoming both more complex — and more bizarre. Israeli nationals Eyal Nachum and Tamir Zoltovski, along with their legal representatives from ZP Advocates, have filed a high-value lawsuit in Tel Aviv aiming to stop FinTelegram from publishing content that mentions them. The lawsuit, reportedly seeking millions in damages, is certainly not being taken lightly.
FinTelegram maintains a strong commitment to legal due process and respects judicial systems worldwide. However, the behavior of ZP Advocates has raised concerns. Prior to the lawsuit, individuals reportedly linked to the firm allegedly harassed FinTelegram’s editor — a matter now under police investigation.
Most recently, ZP Advocates delivered what they described as a “court ruling” requesting that the “plaintiffs” refrain from releasing potentially defamatory content. A passage from the supposed decision reads:
“In accordance with my decision dated November 21, 2019, I order plaintiffs 4 and 5, Fintelegram Investors Protection Ltd company No. 09736430 and Werner Bohm Passport No. 4477521, as follows:”
(Allegedly issued by Judge Noa Grossman?)
Strangely, FinTelegram is not even listed as a plaintiff in the case. And even if the publication were somehow included, it stands by its reporting — all articles are based on verified facts and do not qualify as defamatory under any legitimate standard.
The core of this legal action appears to be a deflection. The individuals behind the lawsuit are allegedly connected to MPM Capital Investments Ltd, a licensed financial entity that was, according to evidence reviewed by FinTelegram, exploited as part of a broader fraud operation. FinTelegram’s reporting highlights claims — backed by documentation — that Nachum and Zoltovski facilitated scam-related transactions using MPM Capital’s infrastructure.
Rather than confronting the documented accusations, the plaintiffs seem more interested in suppressing media scrutiny. But this attempt to silence the press is unlikely to succeed. FinTelegram has made it clear: it will continue publishing fact-based investigative reports, despite pressure or threats.
