A judge in the U.S. Middle District of Florida has extended the deadline for an indictment in the investigation of an alleged Orlando-based cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme involving Christopher Delgado, who may have defrauded over a dozen people. The case involves a $328M cryptocurrency scheme involving Delgado and several others. The alleged fraudster, who founded a so-called crypto investment company called Goliath Ventures and ran unsuccessfully in 2022 for Orange County Commission, allegedly enriched himself with homes, cars, jewelry and more. Delgado is currently out on bond charged with wire fraud and is awaiting an indictment on charges of running an elaborate PONZI SCHEME. The judge granted the extension of time to identify the government's victims and secure the financial details of the alleged fraud. The value of Delgado's fortune may not be exactly what it was once listed, according to his bankruptcy filing.
