Solinex markets itself as an established legal and forensic firm recovering stolen crypto and fiat. The marketing is confident. The company record is thin. This article sets the two side by side.
Basis of this article: everything below comes from public records, checked on 03 November 2026. Company details are from Companies House. Where something is inference rather than fact, it is marked as such.
What the marketing says
The pitch is well constructed and appears in a lot of places.
Solinex is described as a law firm or legal outfit recovering assets from fraud. The site carries case studies with figures attached. The firm is quoted claiming more than 4,800 real cases and a 97% rate of positive outcomes or partial recovery. Coverage appears across business, local news and finance outlets, much of it structured around the same small set of client quotes.
The service described is access based. Clients are walked into handing over login credentials, email access, and wallet access or seed material. The firm then operates inside the client’s account.
Read alone, it sounds like an institution.
What the record shows
Company: SOLINEX LTD
Company number: 17006164
Incorporated: 2 February 2026
Status: Active, with an active proposal to strike off
Registered office: PO Box 4385, Companies House Default Address, Cardiff, CF14 8LH
Officers: One. Hubert Jaroslaw Klarczyk, Polish national, born June 1994, appointed on incorporation
Nature of business: IT consultancy, other IT service activities, investigation activities, justice and judicial activities
That is the entire corporate footprint.
The four things worth noticing
1. It is nine months old
Not nine years. Nine months. The company was incorporated in February 2026.
A firm quoting 4,800 completed cases is claiming roughly 530 cases a month from a standing start. That is possible, but it is not the profile of a firm building slowly. It is the profile of a front end, and a front end implies a back office somewhere that is not on this record.
Worth asking: which entity actually holds the client money, and where is it registered? If the answer is an offshore company with no public filing, the UK Ltd is a shop window rather than the counterparty.
2. The registered office is the default address
PO Box 4385, “Companies House Default Address”, Cardiff, is not a trading address. It is the address Companies House uses when a company’s registered office is not properly in place, commonly because the stated address was disputed or found invalid, and the company has been moved there.
Nobody works at that postcode. It tells you nothing about where the firm operates from. A nine month old company already sitting on the default address is a company that has had an address problem early.
Worth asking: where are your offices, and can I see the address on something other than your own website?
3. There is an active proposal to strike off
This is the loudest item on the page. A proposal to strike off means the company is on a path to being removed from the register. It can be voluntary, and it can also follow a failure to file.
For a client mid case, it matters. A dissolved company is not a defendant and not a counterparty. If the proposal completes while a recovery is running, the client is dealing with a name that no longer exists.
Worth asking: has the strike-off action been discontinued, and what is the filing position?
4. One officer, appointed on day one
A sole director who has been in place since incorporation, born in 1994, with no other appointments shown on this record. For a firm claiming thousands of cases, that is one person carrying the corporate responsibility.
It is not disqualifying. Plenty of good firms are small. But it means there is no second signature, no board, and nobody else to escalate to when the director is unavailable. Combined with the default address, the picture is of a thin structure rather than a substantial one.
The wallet access problem
The corporate thinness matters more here than it would elsewhere, because of how Solinex works.
A pure tracing firm needs documents. Hashes, addresses, findings. The client keeps their keys and the worst case is a wasted fee.
Solinex needs access. Credentials, email passwords, wallet access, seed material. That shifts the risk from “did I get value” to “who is holding my keys, and what happens if the entity holding them stops existing.”
Those are different questions, and the second one is answered by the company record, which is where the record is weakest.
The practical test: ask who holds the keys at each stage, in writing, and when they come back. If that answer is vague, the corporate thinness becomes a real exposure rather than a curiosity.
The fee architecture
Fees arrive in stages, each tied to the next step, each explained as a procedural requirement. Individually modest. Cumulatively open ended.
The stages are the familiar ones. A trace report proving the funds were “located”. Then a first payment, framed as technical rather than commercial. Then a sequence of conditions, each unlocking the next.
None of this is unique to Solinex. What matters is that the client is never given a total, so they cannot budget, and stopping always means writing off what has already gone.
Worth asking: how many separate payments exist between here and the money, and what is the total?
The SEO layer
Search the firm and you find pages of near identical articles, most titled around “Solinex reviews”, most positive, several recycling the same three or four client quotes.
These are contributed placements, not journalism. They cost money and they rank. The volume manufactures the impression of consensus, and a frightened person searching at 2am reads consensus as safety.
It is not dishonest. But it means the search results are telling you the firm has a marketing budget, not that it has a track record. The track record is on Companies House, and it is nine months long.
Red flags, condensed
- Company under a year old with a large claimed caseload
- Registered at the Companies House default address
- Active proposal to strike off
- Single officer, no second signature
- Access based process rather than document based
- Staged, open ended fees with no total quoted
- Heavy contributed-press footprint instead of verifiable case history
- No clear statement of which legal entity holds client funds
How to test it in ten minutes
- Search the company number on Companies House. Check the incorporation date and status yourself.
- Look at the registered office. If it is a PO Box or the default address, ask where the firm physically is.
- Check the strike-off proposal and ask whether it is discontinued.
- Ask which entity holds client funds and where it is registered.
- Ask who holds the keys at each stage, in writing.
- Ask for the total number of payments, start to finish.
- Ask what happens to the case if the company is dissolved mid way.
If you are already involved
- Do not sign anything new until you have the entity question answered.
- Get the payment schedule in writing, with a total.
- Keep your own copy of every transaction hash and address you have paid to.
- Screenshot the portal and dashboard while they load.
- Check the filing history monthly. If a strike-off progresses, you want to know before it completes, not after.
Verdict
Solinex is not a crude operation. The marketing is polished, the process is structured, and the language is convincing. That is precisely why the company record is worth reading, because it does not match the impression the marketing creates.
Nine months old, default address, strike-off proposal in progress, one director. Set against claims of thousands of cases and a service built on handing over your keys.
A young firm is not a scam. But a young firm asking for your wallet should be asked harder questions than an old one, and the answers here are thinner than the pitch.
