I exposed a massive scam that has stolen more than $500 million from investors across Florida, Canada and the UAE. The company I exposed sued me and even tried to bribe me six figures after sending me death threats. But on 3/Dec/2025, the criminal behind the scam sent out a surprising message to his victims.

Let’s rewind first. On 14/Nov, investors in Goliath Ventures — many who had mortgaged their homes and sunk their life savings into this scam — failed to get their payments that were due to them. But people who threatened to go to the FBI got some of their money.

Then, on 3/Dec, Delgado sent a bizarre email telling investors they’d soon get their money. I’ve seen this sort of thing before because I’ve busted many large ponzi schemes, and this is something lot of ponzi scammers try. They try to buy a few more days because they are like gamblers hoping that one more roll of the dice they’ll be able to win it all back.

When investors opened the latest email from Christopher Delgado, they were met with a surprisingly reassuring message but if you read between the lines the truth becomes far more worrying. After weeks of silence, vanishing Telegram replies, missed payouts, and mounting anxiety, Delgado suddenly resurfaced with his usual confidence, apologies, and a promise that on 15/Dec he’d give everyone their money back.

My Key Beliefs About This Update

  1. The payouts won’t go out on 15/Dec as promised.
  2. Don’t trust these liars. I’ve seen desperate people lie like this before.
  3. Ask for your money back now. Today! Not on the 15th! Today. Right now! Threaten to go to the FBI. This is your only hope. If you wait until 15/Dec, Delgado will spend more of your money on pretending to be rich, kind, generous, big hearted… He’s using your money to fool you!
  4. Ponzi schemes never reopen and continue business as usual — especially when the FBI, HSI, SEC, CFTC, and the Canadian authorities are now involved.
  5. It is very telling that Chris Delgado and Jonathan Mason did not say when the audit report would be shared, despite promising it earlier.

To be frank, I don’t think you can trust anything Chris Delgado, Jonathan Mason, Nick Petrillo, Matthew A. Burks, or Jayson Newton tell you. These people are pathological liars, and trusting their lies further would be the height of stupidity.

Delgado’s Sudden Return After a Month of Silence

For almost a month, Delgado avoided direct communication, using his point man Jonathan Mason — an MLM criminal with a long history of schemes — to calm his spurned victims. Questions went unanswered. Concerns were dismissed.

Then, without warning, Delgado returns with phrases like “we’re fully back to our regular rhythm” and “thank you for your patience and trust.”

A Look at Who Is Really Running This Operation

Delgado is trying to sound clever, like he belongs in corporate America, when in reality he was fired from In-N-Out Burger for theft. His team — including Nick Petrillo, who has been cited by the US Department of Justice for fraud — is not exactly a picture of legitimacy.

Then you have Jonathan Mason, who is now playing a large role in the Goliath Ventures fraud. Mason has been a career scammer, working for one MLM scam after another. It appears obvious that Mason discovered Goliath Ventures was a ponzi scheme back in 2024, but still signed on to make money — knowing it was fraudulent.

When Chris Delgado bought the $8 million mansion in Windermere, Orlando, he wanted to throw a party the day he got the keys. But he had only paid about $6 million of the money owed. The owners — old-money, not impressed by Delgado’s nouveau-riche antics — told him he could not throw the party.

Delgado was so enraged that he wired $2 million within hours just to save face.

This story reveals a lot about Delgado’s insecurities. He was adopted, grew up with deep issues around status and identity, and one of his biggest triggers is losing face. My exposing his scam triggered exactly that.

Now, as a result, he is throwing everything into raising money from Canadian victims, using criminals like Jayson Newton, Oscar Salgado, James Han, Michael Chmielewski, Michael Czerniecki, Marius Chmielewski, Vince Gratta, Mike Holguin, Anthony Medeiros, Marty Birthelmer, and Sam Mraiheen, I believe.

But none of this will work. Goliath Ventures will fail, and their actions are only creating more victims.

Delgado Quietly Rewrites the Story About Missing Payouts

PDF

In his New Email, Delgado writes: “a portion of the October distribution didn’t land.”

What he really means is that investors who did not threaten to call the police didn’t get their payouts. And investors who are not in romantic relationships with Delgado and his inner circle didn’t get their payouts either.

This new explanation replaces his earlier claims — quietly and without acknowledgement.

A truth that changes retroactively is almost always a lie that has caught up with itself.

The Audit That Has Mysteriously Vanished

What about the audit, Chris? When will partners see the results?

In your last message you claimed:

“This rigorous independent review… will culminate in a comprehensive certified report, shared with all participants…”

Where is it?
Show us the report, Chris.

Ignoring the Frozen Bank Account

Perhaps the most important omission is the reality that a key Bank of America account used by Goliath Ventures has been frozen. I can state confidently that this account transacted over USD $100 million — and this wasn’t even their primary bank.

Yet Delgado still promises payouts will be completed by 15–18 December.

This contradiction is impossible to reconcile unless the plan is simply to delay panic, buy time, and hope their Canadian recruiters bring in enough fresh money to cover distributions.

I was reading about another ponzi scheme recently, and this quote jumped out at me about how victims involved in scams like this are peer pressured into acting like sheep:

“Not only are people not inclined to check, but anyone who does start checking up starts finding themselves under strong social and psychological pressure not to do so.”

The James Bond Casino Royale Christmas Party

Not much shocks me these days… but watching investors obsess over the upcoming Goliath Ventures Christmas Party — while being robbed of millions — has been astonishing.

I don’t think the party will happen. And if it does, I’ll admit I was wrong. But I am certain the company will not pay everyone on 15/Dec as promised.

This event is scheduled:

  • Days before the promised payout cycle
  • While investors are owed two months of payments
  • While an audit supposedly paused all business functions

Delgado can spend $5 million of your money on a party — but can’t pay you back?

Events cost money.
Events require planning.

This timing raises unavoidable questions:

  • Why celebrate in a liquidity crisis?
  • Why allocate resources to an event when payouts are overdue?
  • Is the purpose to calm investors before postponing payouts again?
  • Why throw a party when October distributions are still missing?

Delgado’s background running events for Grant Cardone explains a lot. He thinks a big show will convince people everything is fine.

But ponzi schemes don’t survive on showmanship. Once confidence is broken, it’s over.

One investor said it best:

“If you can host a Casino Royale party, you can pay what you owe.”

The optics are deeply inconsistent with their supposed “audit delays.”

Goliath Ventures is trying to play on the hopes of victims whose lives they’ve already shattered. They’re told: “Just trust us until 15/Dec…”

But no matter how much trust you give them, the money is not there.

A Warning You Cannot Afford to Ignore
