Federal prosecutors charged Christopher Alexander Delgado, CEO of Orlando‑based Goliath Ventures, with wire fraud and money laundering after alleging a Ponzi‑style cryptocurrency scheme that raised at least $328 million. Authorities say funds were diverted to earlier investors and lavish personal expenditures; victims are being asked to come forward.

Federal prosecutors in the Middle District of Florida allege Christopher Alexander Delgado, chief executive of Orlando‑based Goliath Ventures, orchestrated a Ponzi‑style cryptocurrency scheme that raised a minimum of $328 million by promising monthly returns derived from purported liquidity pools. The criminal complaint charges Delgado with wire fraud and money laundering and asserts that most investor capital was redirected to pay earlier investors and to finance extravagant events, international travel and multi‑million‑dollar real estate purchases. Authorities report that the operation used marketing and investor communications to sustain redemptions while concealing outflows and that remaining assets are being traced. Investigators have opened a victim identification process to collect claims and leads to support asset recovery and potential restitution. The case underscores continuing enforcement focus on large, retail‑facing crypto investment frauds and demonstrates the use of traditional financial crime tools—wire and money laundering charges—to disrupt allegedly fraudulent digital asset schemes. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is leading prosecution and coordination with federal investigative partners.
