Goliath Ventures Crypto Ponzi Scheme Lawsuit Investigation

Gibbs Mura and Silver Law Group are investigating potential investor claims against Goliath Ventures, Inc., an Orlando-based blockchain investment firm, following the arrest of its CEO, Christopher Delgado.

 

Federal prosecutors have alleged that Goliath Ventures operated a large-scale cryptocurrency investment scheme involving approximately $328 million. According to public reports, authorities claim investor funds were raised nationwide and later became unavailable for withdrawal.

 

If you invested in Goliath Ventures and are unable to access your funds, you may have legal options.

According to federal authorities and multiple media reports, Goliath Ventures allegedly raised approximately $328 million from investors through cryptocurrency-related investment programs. Goliath Ventures used alluring claims of a guaranteed 4% return to attract investors across the nation. 

 

Federal prosecutors have characterized the operation as a large-scale Ponzi scheme and have filed criminal charges against CEO Christopher Delgado in the Middle District of Florida. 

 

Public reports state that authorities allege:  

 

• Investor funds were used to pay earlier investors 
• The company misrepresented the nature and performance of its operations 
• Millions of dollars were raised nationwide through crypto-based offerings 
• Federal investigators are pursuing fraud-related charges 

Criminal proceedings are ongoing. However, investors do not need to wait for the outcome of the criminal case to evaluate potential civil recovery options. 

 

We are investigating potential claims to recover losses on behalf of Goliath Ventures investors. 

Public reports state that Christopher Delgado, CEO of Goliath Ventures, was arrested in connection with alleged wire fraud and money laundering charges. 

 

Authorities allege that investor funds were used in ways inconsistent with representations made to investors. The criminal case remains ongoing.

Our investigation focuses on whether Goliath Ventures and related individuals: 

 

• Misrepresented the nature of the investment 
• Failed to return invested principal 
• Operated an unregistered securities offering 
• Made false or misleading statements to investors 
• Violated federal and state securities laws 

You should speak with an investment fraud attorney if: 

 

• You invested money with Goliath Ventures 
• Your withdrawals were delayed or denied 
• You cannot access your funds 
• You relied on representations about the company’s operations 
• You suffered losses following the collapse of the program 

Investor claims are subject to strict time limits. Delaying action may affect your rights.

There is no financial downside to you if you pursue a legal claim—you only stand to recover additional funds. 

 

We pursue cases on behalf of our clients on a “contingency fee basis.” This means that pursuing a lawsuit for your Goliath Ventures investment will cost you nothing unless we win, and even then, you pay nothing out-of-pocket (our attorneys’ fees and costs are deducted from your recovery).
