Odaily Planet Daily reports that Goliath Ventures, a collapsed crypto investment company, is facing a class-action lawsuit from investors for providing banking infrastructure and ignoring suspicious transactions. Investors filed a proposed class-action lawsuit on Tuesday in the Northern District of California federal court, accusing the bank of allowing Goliath Ventures to collect investor funds through its account system. The complaint states that despite JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon publicly criticizing Bitcoin multiple times, the bank failed to stop wire transfers related to crypto scams. JPMorgan Chase should have known that Goliath was operating a crypto investment fund pool in the form of “private equity” during its KYC process but did not hold the necessary sales licenses. The U.S. Central Florida District Attorney’s Office previously announced the arrest of Goliath Ventures CEO Christopher Delgado on February 24. If all charges are proven, he faces up to 30 years in federal prison. Prosecutors say the Ponzi scheme operated from January 2023 to January 2026, during which Goliath Ventures raised at least $328 million from over 2,000 investors. (Cointelegraph)
