Pull Money While You Can! Goliath Ventures Ponzi Exposed by FAKE Audit. Florida Ponzi Scheme SCAM
Goliath Ventures Inc. is under investigation by Homeland Security Investigations as well as US Secret Service for what appears to be a large-scale Ponzi scheme and money laundering.
Yet Christopher Delgado continues to reassure investors that their money is safe by waving around a so-called “independent audit.”
That document — produced by Matt Burks of BlackBlock Management Services, and sent to “partners” on August 15, 2025 — boldly states:
“Goliath maintained an average collective Balance of 115% or more of partners’ balances at all times.”
If that’s true, then every investor should be able to get their full principal back immediately. No excuses. No delays.
In a Response To Me, Chris Delgado publicly admitted that BlackBlock was a subsidiary of Goliath Ventures. Your subsidiary auditing your business does not constitute an independent audit (except in clown world)!
Regarding the “review of financials” and BlackBlock, de Hek landed on a valid point, although misunderstood by him and not investigated by any meaning of the word. BlackBlock was, at the outset of its relationship with Goliath, an independent company dealing in compliance related matters catering to the digital asset community. After being retained by Goliath as a third party, BlackBlock eventually became subsumed by Goliath and is now not an independent third party. As the relationship between Goliath and BlackBlock has changed, partners have and are being notified accordingly. Goliath openly provided access to the wallets containing all funds for partner deposits and were found to keep balances exceeding the partner deposit amount on average by 15% (a total balance of 115%).
This blog is designed to help investors demand their money back and test whether Goliath’s guarantees are real — or just smoke and mirrors.
How to Withdraw Your Funds
The Goliath Ventures contract makes it very clear:
- Email your withdrawal request to agreement@goliathventuresinc.com
- Clearly state you want to withdraw 100% of your principal.
- Remind them that Section 3.6 of the contract guarantees your principal will be returned in full.
- Save copies and screenshots of all correspondence.
The contract says withdrawals should be processed in 5–7 business days, with a possible delay of up to 90 days under suspicious circumstances. If they delay beyond this, you’ll have undeniable proof that the so-called “guarantee” is worthless.
Why Withdraw Your Funds?
Multiple investors have confided in me that they have made redemption requests — and are being stalled. With the redemption date of the 18th approaching, now is your chance to at least try and get your principal back.
Given the fake audit and the fact that two U.S. government agencies are investigating this so-called “investment,” it would be highly imprudent not to withdraw your money.
I’ve also been in touch with the child of one of the big whales who has invested heavily in this scheme. This person, who is incredibly wealthy, is actively convincing their parent to pull all their funds out. By my estimation, that parent represents more than 50% of all the money placed into this scam.
In addition, this family has already hired a high-powered legal team with expertise in asset tracing — a fallback plan for when Chris tries his usual routine.
The Umbrella of Goliath, Wealth MD, and BlackBlock
Through our investigation, we now have full contracts from Goliath Ventures Inc. and Wealth Management Doctors (Wealth MD), as well as records tied to BlackBlock.
What we discovered is shocking but not surprising:
- The contracts are practically identical, with only minor differences in minimum contribution amounts and profit percentages.
- Goliath Ventures Inc. claims to guarantee full return of principal.
- Wealth MD pushes the same structure, but withdrawals are processed via personal emails to Matt Burks and John “Travis” Lillie — the same Matt Burks who authored the so-called “independent audit.”
- BlackBlock, presented as an external auditor, is in fact part of the same network, effectively white-labelling the same Ponzi model.
This means many investors who believe they invested through Goliath Ventures Inc. may actually have sent money through Wealth MD or BlackBlock Management Services. It’s the same playbook, just rebranded under different names.
Why this matters
- If you’ve invested in any of these three companies, you are in the same pool of risk.
- Matt Burks (and Piers Curry while he was a partner at BlackBlock and Wealth MD) appears to be skimming profits off the top while giving the illusion of independence. It was great seeing Matt Burks at the Vault Conference the other day.
- The recycled contracts prove this is a white-label Ponzi scheme with multiple funnels feeding into the same scam.
Our Recommendation
If you have invested with Goliath Ventures Inc., Wealth MD, or BlackBlock Management Services — request your withdrawal immediately. Don’t wait. These are not three separate, safe companies. They are one interconnected scheme.
Why You Must Act Now
Christopher Delgado claims investor funds are secure, but if everyone requests their money back at once, he won’t be able to hide behind excuses.
This is the Achilles heel of every Ponzi scheme: they collapse the moment withdrawals outweigh new deposits. The longer you wait, the smaller your chance of seeing anything back.

The more names we can connect, the clearer the picture becomes of how this network operates.
Buying Legitimacy Through Sponsorships and Donations
Delgado, I believe, has been using investor funds as his personal piggy bank. The charity sponsorships you see are not his own money — they are very likely paid for with the cash victims have handed over.
This practice is common among scammers: they donate to charities, sponsor events, and attach themselves to respected institutions to buy credibility. It creates the illusion of legitimacy and reassures investors, while in reality, victims continue to lose their savings.
Chris Delgado Vs. Warren Buffet
Chris “Lord” Delgado sells an image of market genius: he speaks in buzzwords, flaunts Lambos and Rolls Royces, and posts photos from chartered Gulfstream private jets and yachts with his 20-ish year old girlfriends. The message is far from subtle and relentless — “trust me, I’m winning.” Yet when you look at Chris Delgado’s past, it’s one failed business venture after another. His most recent spectacular flameout was a crypto scam called My Liquidity Partner that crashed and burned a few years ago.
This fake-it-till-you-make-it approach isn’t about creating long-term value — it’s about creating the appearance of success using your money. It leans on theatrics: luxury toys, VIP tables, and a constant stream of self-promotion meant to blur the line between marketing and proof. If the numbers were bulletproof, the lifestyle wouldn’t need to do so much heavy lifting.
Contrast that with the world’s most respected long-term investors. Think someone like Warren Buffett: modest habits, patient compounding, transparent letters, and a near-obsessive focus on fundamentals and risk. No confetti. No countdown clocks. No Lambos. No Rolls Royces. No incentives to get you to put more money in for a higher yield. No London Private Club. Just time, discipline, and clear math. The quiet approach doesn’t photograph as well, but it endures because it’s anchored to cash flows and aligned incentives — not Instagram lies.
Also, Warren Buffett did not break securities laws by raising funds from the public illegally — like Chris Delgado obviously is.
Final Word
The facts are simple:
- Goliath Ventures Inc. is under investigation by two U.S. law enforcement agencies — Homeland Security Investigations and the Secret Service.
- Their so-called “independent audit” is a sham, created by Matt Burks, who works directly for Chris Delgado.
- Their contracts guarantee return of principal.
- Investor funds are supposedly sitting idle. If that’s true, why are they borrowing money from people?
So test them. Demand your money back now.
If this thing is truly rock solid, you have nothing to worry about. In a few months, when the dust settles, you can even decide if you want to put your money back into Goliath Ventures — if it’s still standing.
