by Rambo Investigations, LLC - An Orlando Based Private Investigator
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 without options.
Federal prosecutors allege Delgado ran a $328 million Ponzi scheme for three years, promising investors steady monthly returns from cryptocurrency "liquidity pools" that, according to the complaint, largely never existed.
Victims across Central Florida — including a Seminole County resident who reported losing $720,000 — are now working to understand what happened to their money. Many are waiting on the federal criminal case to resolve. That can take years.
Here is what victims should know: the federal case and your own evidence-gathering are two separate tracks. You can begin documenting your loss now.
Here is the truth: you do not have to wait.
What Rambo Investigations, LLC Does for Crypto Fraud Victims
Rambo Investigations, LLC is a Florida-licensed private investigation agency (License #A3500041) based in Winter Park and Daytona Beach, serving Orange, Seminole, Volusia, Osceola, Lake, and Brevard counties.
We work alongside attorneys and forensic experts on complex financial fraud matters.
We do not recover funds and we do not guarantee outcomes, what we do is build the documented evidence record your attorney needs.
Here is how we support Goliath Ventures victims:
Blockchain Wallet Tracing &
Transaction Analysis
Cryptocurrency transactions leave a permanent public record on the blockchain. Working with forensic blockchain analysts, our investigators trace the path of funds after they were transferred to Goliath Ventures.
Even when assets are moved through layered wallets, shell entities, or offshore exchanges, that chain of transactions can be followed and documented — and our blockchain tracing investigators know how to read it for use as civil litigation evidence.
Asset Location & Documentation
Delgado allegedly used investor funds to purchase luxury real estate, including a $3.2 million Winter Park home, along with vehicles and other tangible assets.
Our investigators locate, document, and preserve evidence of those assets through OSINT investigation and public-records research — the kind of documentation that becomes critical when your attorney pursues civil claims or files in the receivership and bankruptcy proceedings now underway.
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 advise victims that civil litigation runs independently of the criminal process, and that acting sooner matters for two reasons:
1. Asset preservation is time-sensitive.
Courts have already frozen some Goliath Ventures assets and appointed a federal receiver. 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.

Fraudulent NFT and token offerings
Unregistered crypto investment platforms
