JPMorgan is being sued by investors for allegedly participating in a $328 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme

On Tuesday, investors filed a class-action lawsuit in the Northern District of California federal court, accusing JPMorgan of failing to stop suspicious transactions in the $328 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme operated by the now-defunct Goliath Ventures, and allowing the company to use its banking infrastructure to collect investor funds.

The complaint states that JPMorgan provided exclusive banking services to Goliath from January 2023 to May or June 2025, during which Goliath raised at least $328 million from over 2,000 investors. Approximately $253 million was deposited into JPMorgan's 0305 account, and about $123 million was transferred to Goliath's wallet held on Coinbase.

Previously, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida announced the arrest of Goliath CEO Christopher Delgado on February 24, who faces up to 30 years in federal prison. Prosecutors allege that Goliath (formerly known as Gen-Z Venture Firm) operated the scheme from January 2023 to January 2026. Another criminal complaint shows that Goliath also held a business account at Bank of America, with Delgado as a co-signer on that account.
