Former CEO of Goliath Ventures admits to involvement in a $400 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, fraud, and money laundering charges
According to CoinDesk, the Florida prosecutors have revealed that Christopher Alexander Delgado, the former CEO of Goliath Ventures, has pleaded guilty to a cryptocurrency investment scam involving approximately $400 million, with charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.
Prosecutors stated that the platform promised investors low-risk or guaranteed returns of 3% to 8% per month under the guise of cryptocurrency liquidity pool profits from January 2023 to January 2026, while in reality, it misappropriated funds to pay early investors, process withdrawals, and for personal luxury expenses.
In the plea agreement, Delgado admitted to causing at least $250 million in investor losses and agreed to forfeit multiple properties, vehicles, luxury watches, jewelry, and certain bank and cryptocurrency accounts. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 8.
