Ladson Capital – Review of the website

Ladson Capital promises on its website that after the account creation the first money deposits would have numerous tools available for the customer to work with. Thus, the financial market is supposed to be easily accessible and alleged profits would be the rule.

The brokers are presented as future-oriented and experienced. The successes of the customers would supposedly be in the first place. Information to the management or possible employees is missing however completely. Also one looks for a telephone number or address in vain.

The accounts are available to customers in six versions, which quickly demand very high cash deposits. Starting with 500€ with a Basic package and ending in the Millioner Club with at least 1,000,000€ deposits.

Ladson Capital web presence

The website of the service provider Ladson Capital is available in English and can be accessed at “ladson-capital.com”.

Query domain data

Many providers use their many years of experience to pretend to be reputable. However, such claims are often contradicted by the registration date of the domain.

Accordingly, it is necessary to investigate who the domain owner is and in which year the domain was registered.

Our lawyers have determined the facts about Ladson Capital on 04/03/2022 with this result:

  • Domain name: ladson-capital.com
  • Registry domain ID: 2616451055_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN

Management Board

According to §6 of the German Media State Treaty (MDStV), the name of the person responsible for the content of the website must be displayed in the imprint. In most cases, this is a member of the company’s management.

Identifying the responsible persons by name is not only obligatory, but also a sign of transparency.

On Ladson Capital’s website, there is no information about persons responsible for the content in March 2022.

Imprint information

In Germany, according to §5 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), there are general information obligations and mandatory details for the imprint. Consequently, this obligation for “provider identification” applies to all websites operated on a business basis.

This is because the information is intended to inform visitors to an Internet presence who they are dealing with. Finally, the address of the website owner plays a role in this context, in case legal claims are to be enforced against him.

In this context, it is important to note that the obligation to maintain an imprint also applies to foreign service providers who conduct their business activities in Germany.

At the time of March 2022, there was no imprint on the website of Ladson Capital.

Operator and Trademark

The name of the web presence or the trading platform or the offer is not necessarily congruent with the operating company. In the past, it was not uncommon for companies to appear on the market simultaneously with many different trademarks.

In addition, it is common practice for some providers to shut down the Internet presences of incriminated trademarks and to return to the market shortly thereafter using a different trademark.

Therefore, when researching news and facts about a provider beyond the trademark, it is generally advisable to also include the operating company. The relevant data can be found either in the imprint or often also in the footer of a web presence.

In the footer of the web presence one learns that Ladson Capital is the trademark of Kamuflaz Ltd.

Ladson Capital contact information

The following information could be found on Ladson Capital’s website at the time of writing:

  • Ladson Capital email address: support@ladson-capital.com
  • Kamuflaz Ltd mailing address: Beachmont Business Centre, Suite 174, Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Ladson Capital Authorization

The existence of a valid authorization from a European governmental financial supervisory authority can be an important criterion for determining whether a company is a reputable financial provider. This is because the granting of a license requires a considerable amount of economic effort on the part of the company.

Nevertheless, it does not automatically have to be fraudulent if a broker omits information about its license or its status of regulation.

The following financial regulators, among others, are responsible for granting licenses and supervising financial service providers such as Ladson Capital:

  • Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF, Luxembourg).
  • Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA, Belgium)
  • Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC, Australia)
  • Financial Conduct Authority (FCA, United Kingdom)
  • Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin, Germany)

As of March 2022, no evidence of regulatory licensing could be found on Ladson Capital’s online presence. Interested investors can discuss what this means in an exchange with legal counsel from our law firm.

Official warnings about Ladson Capital

As of early March 2022, no notifications or warnings had been issued by official financial authorities regarding Ladson Capital.

Before starting trading at Ladson Capital and others – online trading advice

Trading through online platforms like at Ladson Capital is the extension of traditional trading in financial instruments to the web. Here, as there, market participants operate on the premise of generating income by buying and selling assets.

Trading has long since ceased to be limited to shares. De facto investors also have the following assets at their disposal, for example:

Online trading is realized through interfaces such as brokers (like Ladson Capital ) or banks, which provide their clients with special trading software.

It is expected that in the future there will be more and more private investors who will consider online trading for themselves. This is because all you need is an Internet connection and a PC or tablet or smartphone.

The plus points of online trading

Digitalization also influences the financial world considerably, especially in terms of trading like Ladson Capital .

Because the technological possibilities have greatly increased the performance of trading. Whereas investors and traders used to have to place their orders by phone, fax or mail, nowadays they can do so at the click of a mouse and at a fraction of the cost.

Factors such as duration and type of trade, pricing and quantities or the key data for the account no longer have to be defined between the provider Ladson Capital and its client in a personal conversation.

At the end of the day, the possibility of online trading has brought some advantages to the fore:

  • Surpluses can be earned even with a small investment.
  • Online traders have many tools and various indicators at their disposal.
  • The risk of losses due to gaps decreases.
  • The platform executes the desired orders, you only need an Internet connection.
  • The speed of transaction execution has increased noticeably.
  • A large number of tools can be used automatically and instantly.
  • Training opportunities for online trading, knowledge pools, analyses or trading courses are part of the offer in many places.
  • The basic stock of tradable financial instruments is broader and deeper.

Bitcoin & Co. – Cryptocurrencies Move onto Investors’ Radar

But it is not only trading as such that has been strongly influenced by digitalization. Because the unstoppable technologization has provided online exchange traders with a new field of activity: trading in digital assets.

Among the best-known cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin was the very first cryptocurrency ever, which is why all other digital currencies are referred to as so-called “alt-coins,” meaning alternative coins.

Today, there are thousands of tradable crypto assets and the landscape is decidedly volatile. As a result, new coins enter the market regularly and many disappear just as quickly as they appeared.

For online traders, this includes opportunities as well as risks, but these are significantly potentiated as a result of the constant ups and downs compared to traditional investments.

Newly issued cryptocurrencies are basically like a game of chance at the roulette table for investors. With a little luck, one can multiply the stake significantly. Nevertheless, the eventuality of losing the entire capital is also enormously high.

Therefore, it might be a better choice for cautious traders to focus on the strongest crypto stocks by market value, which have been traded for quite some time and have a relatively large market capitalization.

What can the new alt-coins do?

Apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, these include the Binance Coin, Solana, Cardano or Ripple. Cardano and Solana in particular can be classified as more modern and future-oriented compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This is because while the former are under discussion primarily due to their energy-intensive “proof of work” procedure, the latter rely on the lower-energy “proof of stake” mechanism.

In addition, the blockchain-based projects Cardano and Solana enable the use of so-called smart contracts. Furthermore, additional projects are emerging in the respective ecosystems, such as Solanart, a marketplace for so-called “non-fungible tokens”, or NFTs for short.

These can be used in decentralized finance, for example. There, they help to implement security mechanisms that ensure the uniqueness of transactions and the correctness of each submitted order.

So, money investors will find an extremely wide range of cryptocurrencies to invest in. However, crypto trading is recommended especially for those investors who do not shy away from large risks.

Incidentally, the same applies to crypto trading: be careful when choosing a provider. Unfortunately, there are many documented cases of fraud and cybercrime in which crypto exchanges have played a decisive role.

The weaknesses in online trading

Where there is light, there is also shadow, and this also applies to online trading. Accordingly, apart from the advantages, there are also a number of disadvantages that inclined money investors should integrate into their considerations:

  • High losses are to be expected in case of wrong decisions.
  • Investors should keep a constant eye on the price trends.
  • Compared to classical trading it is rather hectic.
  • Investors should already be experienced in trading and build on resilient strategies.
  • The existence of fraudulent trading platforms has led to immense risks of loss.

The risk of day trading

In particular, the risky day trading is not suitable for investors who are dealing with trading for the first time. This is because the risk of misjudging the development of prices is immense, and due to time pressure it is difficult to make adjustments. Consequently, this direction of trading tends to be worthwhile for very knowledgeable or particularly risk-averse investors.

If someone belongs to this group, day trading is an option for action in order to achieve results quickly. In addition, one benefits, for example, from the elimination of fees for holding positions overnight. Finally, such costs must also be included in the holistic analysis of an investment.

Furthermore, one literally saves a rude awakening in the morning if there were immediate and drastic price changes. Such “gaps” arise quickly due to negative reports about a company. On the other hand, you quickly see successes when you can report a profit at the end of a trading day.

Furthermore, it is important for day traders to compare the trading fees of the individual brokers. It can be worthwhile to opt for a flat rate in the form of a fixed rate. This pays off especially if you trade with a high frequency and separately invoiced order fees would significantly reduce the profit.

Identify risks and dangers

In order not to increase the risks of online trading unnecessarily, it is advisable to check which company you want to trade with on the markets.

From the experience of our firm, some questions have emerged that can be used to identify possible risks. Referring to the example of Ladson Capital, these would be as follows:

  • Does Ladson Capital promise particularly high returns or a guaranteed return and conceal or downplay the dangers?
  • Are there any warnings from lawyers or law firms that support clients who have suffered losses in connection with Ladson Capital?
  • Can one find an imprint on Ladson Capital’s website and can one find credible statements about the company’s location?
  • Can one find official warnings about Ladson Capital ?
  • Is Ladson Capital regulated by a European financial supervisory authority and is the provider subject to government supervision?
  • Did the contact with Ladson Capital come about through an unsolicited phone call?
  • Are there any testimonials from other investors, what are the opinions expressed in forums?

How to act in case of losses

If you suspect that you have been defrauded in online trading, it is advisable to immediately stop any additional payments. This is especially true in the event that the provider demands additional payments to compensate for deficits.

In addition, one should attempt to recover the lost capital. In doing so, affected investors can seek investor protection and turn to the lawyers of our law firm. We consider civil law as well as criminal law options and possible claims for damages against the financial provider and against implicated payment service providers such as financial institutions.

“One can by no means speak of an exceptional case when a private investor loses money in the course of online trading. Numerous money investors are misled by the expert behavior of the providers and only realize too late that they are not responsible for their loss.”

Our recommendation is therefore not to despair, but to act quickly and actively. Because the prospect of recovering the lost money is often greater than the aggrieved investors think.
