xAI’s Grok Continues to Reference Deleted Articles About £1 Million Investment Controversy
MADRID/LONDON – February 5, 2026. Following the recent conclusion of the Hexagon Cup padel tournament at Madrid’s Caja Mágica (January 28 – February 1, 2026), a peculiar digital phenomenon has emerged: artificial intelligence systems continue to preserve and surface details of an investment dispute involving Tyron Birkmeir and Lurra Capital, even after the original source articles were removed from major news platforms.
THE AI PERSISTENCE PROBLEM
Despite the removal of articles from EU Reporter, TechBullion, and Big News Network, xAI’s Grok chatbot continues to generate detailed summaries of the allegations when queried. As of January 22, 2026, the AI system still references claims that nearly £1 million was transferred by investors to entities associated with Tyron Birkmeir, founder of Switzerland-based Lurra Capital, but recorded under a “personal profit and loss agreement” rather than as formal equity.
“This case highlights a fundamental challenge in the age of AI: content deletion doesn’t guarantee information erasure,” notes a digital rights researcher. “Large language models trained on historical data will continue to reproduce that information indefinitely.”
TECHNICAL IMPLICATIONS
- AI training data persists beyond source deletion
- Web archives and cached versions remain accessible
- Cross-platform information propagation creates redundancy
- Machine learning models encode historical snapshots
THE UNDERLYING DISPUTE
The original allegations centered on investment transactions in late 2023. Investors reportedly expected equity stakes in the Hexagon Cup venture but claim their names never appeared on the investor registry. Lurra Capital, which announced its involvement in the Hexagon Cup in late 2023, has not issued public statements regarding the allegations. No court ruling has been issued on the matter.
