How Investors With A Profit Will Be Forced To Return Their “Profits” From This Massive Ponzi Scheme. Anyone Who Recruited Investors Will Face Prison Time.

Note for insiders: I am currently working with US Secret Service, Homeland Security Investigations and other US Law Enforcement.

If you want to come clean and make a deal, hire a lawyer, connect with me and I’ll connect you to the special agents working on this. If you cooperate you could get a good deal. Or go to jail for Chris Lord Delgado. If you referred or recruited someone into this ponzi scheme you are an accomplice!

For at least two years, GOLIATH VENTURES INC dazzled Central Florida with its crypto-fuelled glamour. Founder Christopher Delgado threw gaudy Orlando parties, posed with his “party bro” entourage, and bragged about guaranteed returns. One week it was a “private equity company.” The next week it was “joint venture private funds.” Whatever the label, the pitch was always the same: risk-free riches.

But behind the Rolex and the ill-fitting suit, the scaffolding is collapsing. A much darker truth is emerging: Goliath Ventures appears to be a $150+ million Ponzi scheme.

And here’s the kicker: when Ponzi schemes collapse, it isn’t just the founders who face consequences. The government claws back the money — even from investors who thought they “got out in time.” Look up what happened to Ed Morse, Ted Morse and Jeffry Picower, these are folks who invested in ponzi schemes and made massive profits. But then the ponzi schemes collapsed and they/their estates were forced to pay back all the fake profits back to the bankruptcy trustee.

For the people who have taken kickbacks, I have 1 message for you, you were selling unregistered securities, you were acting as agents selling unregistered securities. You understand that this is illegal? And that you were breaking the law by doing this?

Back to clawbacks…

Clawbacks: Why All Profits Are Imaginary In A Ponzi

U.S. law allows court-appointed bankruptcy trustees to pursue what are called fraudulent transfers.

In plain English: if you withdrew more money than you put in, you’re considered a net winner. And if you’re a net winner, the government can claw back your so-called profits to repay the victims who lost everything. In the case of Goliath Ventures and Chris Delgado a lot of money has been transferred not just in the form of profits but in the form of kickbacks and other fraudulent conveyance deals.

It doesn’t matter if you:

  • Believed Goliath was legitimate,
  • Paid taxes on your returns, or
  • Already spent the money on a new house, car, or trip to Mykonos.

Ignorance is not a defense. This is how the Madoff trustee clawed back over $14 billion from investors who thought they were safe.

Why Goliath Investors Should Be Alarmed

Evidence shows Goliath Ventures and its feeder funds like WealthMD may have raised hundreds of millions from 1,500+ investors, paying out over $100 million in “dividends” in 2024 alone.

But those “dividends” weren’t profits. They were later investors’ money recycled as fake returns — textbook Ponzi mechanics. Nobody was out there doing real liquidity pool trading or making any real money; it was all just new investor money paying off old investors.

Red flags that scream clawback risk:

  • “Guaranteed” 3–10% monthly returns
  • Claims of being “insured and bonded” (spoiler: they weren’t, this was entirely deceptive, it’s like insuring a small shack for rain damage and claiming the policy also covered against crypto theft in the building next door)
  • Retirement rollovers (IRAs/401ks) funnelled into unregistered crypto pools
  • Fake “independent” audits from BlackBlock, which is a subsdairy.
  • Corporate shell games (dissolved in Florida, reincorporated in Wyoming the same day)

What Clawbacks Could Look Like

If a federal court rules Goliath a Ponzi scheme, a bankruptcy trustee could:

  • Sue all net winners — even the small fry — to return their “profits”
  • Freeze bank accounts and crypto wallets to secure clawback assets
  • Subpoena feeder funds like WealthMD to trace payouts
  • Target financial advisors, accountants, and brokers who moved the money

Think you “got out early”? Think again.

The False Sense of Safety

Many Goliath investors believe they’re safe because they withdrew funds before the collapse. They are not.

Federal clawbacks can reach back years. Trustees often move faster than regulators. By the time the SEC files charges, the clawback lawsuits will already be landing in mailboxes.

If you got more out of Goliath than you put in, that money was stolen from later victims. Courts will demand you hand it back.

What Investors Should Do Now

If you or your firm touched Goliath Ventures, BlackBlock, or WealthMD money:

  • Stop reinvesting. Freeze all new capital tied to these entities.
  • Preserve records of deposits, withdrawals, and communications.
  • Get legal counsel who understands Ponzi clawbacks and bankruptcy law.
  • Prepare liquidity — you may need to return your “profits.”

The Bottom Line

Goliath Ventures didn’t just build a house of cards. It built a trap.

And that trap hasn’t even sprung yet.

Investors who think they “won” may soon discover they’re footing the bill for everyone else’s losses. When clawbacks begin, it won’t matter if you were innocent.

It will only matter that you got paid.

So if I was a victim of the Goliath Ventures Inc/Chris Delgado ponzi scheme what would I do? I’d withdraw my principal and not a cent more and I’d take the L. If you’ve withdrawn more than your principal and are playing with house money I’d take that money and not spend it and hold it in some sequestered account.
