Pros
- Operated in the forex market for around two decades before going dark

Cons

- Never held a license from a real financial regulator, only an SVG registration
- Independent reviews describe clients unable to withdraw their own money
- No official closure notice exists, so affected clients have little clarity
Larson and Holz IT Ltd began in 2004, first registered in the UK before moving to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, with a secretary office in Hong Kong. It grew into a forex, CFD, and binary options broker with branches across Russia and other former Soviet republics, winning industry awards in Asia around 2012.
The broker was never overseen by a real financial regulator. It only held an SVG company registration, plus membership of CRFIN and KROUFR, industry dispute resolution bodies in Russia, not government supervisors. Both of its main websites returned errors when checked for this review and did not load.
Independent reviews describe a pattern of clients unable to withdraw money, transaction histories being cleared, and accounts archived without payout. No official closure notice was found, so the exact date it stopped is unclear, but the evidence points to a broker no longer functioning and not open for new business.
