Who else uses this address
15 other brokers in this set publish an address on Shelton Street. When that many financial firms name one building, it is usually a registered-office or mail-forwarding service, and an address of that kind tells you where the post arrives rather than where anyone works.
Across the 15 other visits to that address, the team found nothing 7 times and could not get access 8 times. Among them are ForexFlowMarket, FVP Trade and Fx Praime.
This visit ended differently from most of the others, which is worth weighing against the pattern at the address.

Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside, it was not in the building directory and reception could not say either way. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.
