ChainThink report, according to WFTV, Christopher Delgado, former CEO of Goliath Ventures, publicly apologized to investors, stating he "betrayed their trust," and announced his voluntary return to the United States to face charges.

He admitted that Goliath Ventures had promised investors high monthly returns, but in reality, funds were diverted to purchase Florida real estate worth $14.5 million and finance luxury, high-end travel; one investor reportedly lost approximately $720,000.

Previously, Christopher Delgado was charged by U.S. prosecutors with fraud and money laundering related to a purported $328 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, facing a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.
