The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has accused Goliath Ventures and its CEO, Christopher Delgado, of running a massive crypto fraud scheme. The alleged scam took in $397 million from about 1,600 customers, who were promised profits from trading Bitcoin and Ether.

According to the CFTC complaint filed in Florida, customer funds were misused and new deposits were used to mask losses. Delgado now faces parallel cases with the SEC and criminal charges.

The alleged scheme has raised concerns about security and regulatory risks for crypto investors and may weigh on adoption and trust in centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.
