The CFTC alleges Goliath Ventures collected $397 million for crypto liquidity pools but used customer funds for Ponzi payments.
- The CFTC has accused Goliath Ventures and its CEO, Christopher Delgado, of operating a $397 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, defrauding approximately 1,611 customers.
- Instead of investing funds in crypto liquidity pools as promised, the company allegedly used customer money for Ponzi payments, personal expenses, and commissions, with no funds ever reaching the intended liquidity pools.
- Delgado has pleaded guilty to federal charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, and awaits sentencing, while the CFTC seeks restitution and penalties.
