Tailored Investigation

We find that the whole tech investment scene is a breeding platform for fraud, that can be easily misused by bad actors.
It is mandatory to weed them out to avoid loss of funds, and increase support towards credible funders and companies.

Industry knowledge and an eye for
detail makes us unique

"If we have the truth, it cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed." - J. Reuben Clark

  • Financial Crime Investigations

    All cases need evidence, and Zsolt Nemeth Ltd provides a complete service which includes financial crime investigations. We can work closely with your own firm’s investigators or we can provide investigative assistance (overt or covert) through well-respected and experienced financial crime investigators.

    Financial crime investigators include private investigators, forensic accountants and auditors.
    Forensic accountants provide expertise in financial reporting systems, accounting and auditing standards and procedures and can also give expert evidence.

    We are experienced and well respected experts who are familiar with the IT/Startup business’s industry sector and with this knowledge can complement the direction and content of your financial crime investigation.

Why we do what we do

Zsolt-nemeth.com is the first of its kind non-profit digital newspaper and investigative company focused on financial crimes. Throughout the years we learned that many investors are tricked to financially back dubious persons. These individuals established methods to channel investors' hard earned money into their own pockets and legally shield their harmful acts and scams behind offshore entities or simply behind the corporate shield.

Our journey started when we got notified about a hungarian serial entrepreneur, Zsolt Nemeth who had been doing harmful acts over years. In 2016 he falsely claimed his involvement with venture capital firms trying to trick companies into acquisitions or sell of shares. His efforts failed and left unpaid legal fees and damaged reputation on the table. In 2017 he started an IT security company called R3security, where he accumulated eur350k+ investment and unpaid third party bills before he decided to shut the project in mid 2018. Since then multiple questionable actions of Zsolt nemeth came to light: he transferred company assets between multiple offshore entities, suppliers were contracted with different companies with none zero revenue or aim for payment, claimed clients and partnership never materialized. His acts are under investigation by the police and prosecution in multiple jurisdictions. All the legal matters did not scare him to simply rename the old R3security project to R6security aka Phoenix DNS in 2020 to start his fundraising again. A clear damaging behavioural pattern of Zsolt Nemeth can be seen and this highlights how poorly startup and tech investment due diligence is performed.

We find that the whole tech investment scene is a breeding platform for fraud, that can be easily misused by bad actors. It is mandatory to weed out people like Zsolt Nemeth to avoid loss of funds, and increase support towards credible funders and companies. This is why our team decided to support the community and investors with validated, truthful information to stop people like him.
