Woa woa woa, let's pump the brakes, you are misdirecting this. Of all the innocent victims Google takes on a daily basis, both algorithmically and manually, you are not one of them.

YOU made a mistake by not thoroughly researching the new domain before buying and moving your site. It's essential to check the history on a domain before purchasing and dumping all our eggs into a new basket, which for you was an unknown basket full of the previous owner's spam.

Archive.org, ahrefs.com, domaintools.com << Not hard to determine a domains past history even for a novice, just using archive.org and the free versions of ahrefs and domaintools.

The only person to blame is you my friend, purchasing that domain and 301ing your old site sealed your own fate. So you're really just wasting everyone's time with a bunch of wining and pulling the big bad evil Google muwhahaha card.

For once, I'm on Google's side here. Party's over everyone, move along.
