Federal authorities have arrested Christopher Alexander Delgado, founder and CEO of Goliath Ventures, in connection with an alleged $328 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme. According to the United States Department of Justice, Delgado faces federal charges of wire fraud and money laundering filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. If convicted on all counts, the 34-year-old Florida resident could face up to 30 years in prison.

Prosecutors allege the scheme operated from January 2023 through January 2026, during which investors were promised steady monthly returns through cryptocurrency “liquidity pools.” Authorities say only about $1 million was actually invested in legitimate crypto assets, while the majority of the funds were allegedly used to pay earlier investors and support Delgado’s luxury lifestyle, including high-end travel and multi-million-dollar homes. Federal agencies, including IRS Criminal Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations, led the probe and are now contacting victims under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.
