Regulated services, no regulator
Lafayette offers “Investment Advice”, “Financial Planning”, “Risk Management” and access to “off-market private equity, venture capital, real estate, and direct co-investment opportunities”, with a Client Area and Open Account button. In Ireland these services require Central Bank authorisation. The site does not mention one.

Irish address, Australian alert
The header gives One Molesworth Street, Dublin D02 RF29 and a phone written as “(353) 1200 3154”. The alert came from Australia’s ASIC — meaning Australians were being targeted by a firm presenting itself as Irish.
An old domain is not an old firm
lafcb.com was first registered in 2013. Older domains are bought and reused because they look established. What matters is whether the firm behind it is authorised — and here none is named.
