US Regulators Target Goliath Ventures Over $400M Crypto Ponzi Scheme
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have charged Goliath Ventures Inc. and its CEO Christopher Delgado with operating a $400 million Ponzi scheme tied to crypto asset trading.
The CFTC alleged that the company and Delgado engaged in a Ponzi scheme by fraudulently soliciting and accepting funds from the public for crypto asset trading, including Bitcoin and Ether.
The SEC filed a parallel civil action alleging Goliath and Delgado raised at least $425 million from over 1,300 investors between January 2023 and January 2026, with promised monthly profit distributions of 3% to 10%, along with guaranteed principal.
