Goliath Ventures Victims in Orlando: What a Private Investigator Can Do to Help

  • Mar 4
  • 4 min read

If you invested in Goliath Ventures — the Orlando-based blockchain firm whose CEO Christopher Alexander Delgado was arrested on February 24, 2026 — you are not alone, and you are not out of options.


Federal prosecutors allege that Delgado ran a $328 million Ponzi scheme for three years, promising investors steady monthly returns from cryptocurrency "liquidity pools" that largely never existed. Victims across Central Florida — including a Seminole County resident who lost $720,000 — are now scrambling to understand what, if anything, can be recovered. Many are waiting on the federal criminal case to resolve. That could take years.


Here is the truth: you do not have to wait.

Private Investigator for crypto currency fraud

What Rambo Investigations Does for Crypto Fraud Victims


At Rambo Investigations, we are a Florida-licensed private investigation firm (License #A3500041) based in Winter Park and Daytona Beach. We have worked alongside attorneys and forensic experts on complex financial fraud cases — and we know that in cases like Goliath Ventures, time is critical.


Here is what we can do for you right now:


Blockchain Wallet Tracing & Transaction Analysis Cryptocurrency transactions leave a permanent, public record on the blockchain. Our investigators work with forensic blockchain analysts to trace where your funds went after they were transferred to Goliath Ventures. Even when fraudsters try to conceal assets through layered wallets, shell companies, or offshore accounts, the blockchain tells a story — and we know how to read it.


Asset Location & Documentation Delgado allegedly used investor funds to purchase multiple luxury properties, vehicles, and other tangible assets. Our investigators can locate, document, and preserve evidence of those assets — information that becomes critical in civil recovery proceedings.


Evidence Gathering to Support Your Civil Claim The criminal case against Delgado is the government's case — not yours. Civil litigation is a separate, parallel track that victims can pursue independently, and it is often the most direct path to financial recovery. Our investigators gather the documentation, communications, and financial records that your legal team needs to build the strongest possible case.


Background Investigations on Perpetrators & Associates Fraud schemes rarely operate in a vacuum. Civil lawsuits in the Goliath Ventures case are already naming associates, facilitators, and third parties beyond Delgado himself. We investigate the full network — because so should your recovery strategy.


Why Civil Action Cannot Wait


The federal criminal case will move on the government's timeline. Restitution orders, if they come at all, are distributed after conviction — which could be years away. Meanwhile, our legal partners are already advising victims that civil litigation runs independently of the criminal process, and that acting sooner rather than later is critical for two reasons:


1. Asset preservation is time-sensitive. Courts have already frozen some Goliath Ventures assets and appointed a federal receiver. But the longer victims wait, the greater the risk that remaining assets are dissipated, transferred, or tied up in competing claims.


2. Statutes of limitations are real deadlines. Depending on the legal theory and jurisdiction, deadlines to file civil claims can arrive well before the criminal case concludes. Missing them can permanently forfeit your right to recovery.

Our investigators work hand-in-hand with our legal partners to ensure that the evidence we gather is properly documented, preserved, and ready to support your legal team from day one.


This Is Bigger Than Goliath Ventures


The Goliath Ventures case is the largest crypto fraud prosecution in Central Florida history — but it is far from the only one. Investment scams promising high returns from cryptocurrency liquidity pools, staking programs, and blockchain ventures have exploded across Florida and the nation. If you were defrauded by any cryptocurrency investment scheme — not just Goliath Ventures — Rambo Investigations can help.

We handle:


  • Cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme investigations

  • Crypto romance scams ("pig butchering")

  • Fraudulent NFT and token offerings

  • Unregistered crypto investment platforms

  • Digital asset theft and unauthorized wallet access
