BlockBeats news, on July 1, Christopher Alexander Delgado, a man from Florida, USA, pleaded guilty to multiple charges including telecom fraud and money laundering.

Prosecutors stated that through Goliath Ventures (formerly Gen-Z Venture Firm), he carried out a Ponzi scheme under the guise of "crypto liquidity pool investment returns," raising approximately $400 million in investment funds, resulting in actual losses of about $250 million.

The funds were used to purchase multiple multi-million-dollar mansions, luxury cars such as Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces, as well as a large quantity of luxury goods and jewelry, and to cover expenses for high-end parties and travel. He has now agreed to forfeit multiple assets, including real estate, vehicles, and luxury items.
