Goliath Ventures Ponzi: Verlin Sanciangco & My Liquidity Partner (MLP) Scam Rebranded
I’ve been investigating a $300-$500 million ponzi scheme in Orlando, FL with links to FBI Director Kash Patel, Ron DeSantis and even Andrew Tate.
This ponzi scheme, Goliath Ventures Inc, everyone thinks was started by Christopher “Chris” Delgado — but there’s more to the story.
“Behind every Ponzi scheme is not just greed, but arrogance – the belief they’ll never get caught.”
Chris Delgado with FBI Director Kash Patel
After digging deep into the $300-$500 million Goliath Ventures ponzi scheme in Orlando, I’ve uncovered evidence suggesting that Christopher “Lord” Delgado may not be the mastermind everyone thinks he is. The real puppet master may be Verlin Sanciangco, a convicted fraudster who fled to Dubai after running an identical scam called My Liquidity Partner (MLP) that ripped off thousands of people out of tens of millions.
The parallels are too striking to ignore, and they reveal a disturbing pattern: how these two ponzi schemes are almost perfect mirror images of one another.
Point of this post?
If you are an FBI/HSI agent or US government investigator this lays out how the liquidity pool scam is articulated to victims. And you can use the Referenced Lawsuit to prepare your own indictment against Chris Delgado and the Goliath Ventures scam.
If you are an investor in Goliath Ventures you can read this a few times, verify everything for yourself and recognize what an idiotic mistake it was to believe that you could make risk-free profits from “crypto liquidity pool.” And you can try and pull out your money.
If you are someone who helped rope in others into this scam/profited from this through uneconomical deals you can get ready to go to prison. Start by restricting yourself to a prison diet now so that when you’re in prison it won’t be such a shock to your system. Even if you are one of the lucky few who don’t go to prison, get ready for years of court cases!
Given what I lay out, it’s entirely likely Chris Delgado and his accomplices will face RICO charges or continuing criminal enterprise (CCE) given the long-running nature of My Liquidity Partner, which has morphed into the Goliath Ventures Inc ponzi scheme.
Fake Success: “Sir Verlin” to “Lord Delgado”
Defendant Sanciangco created a false image of himself, one where he had a flashy, expensive lifestyle and conducted business in places like Dubai and London. He used this manufactured image to induce Plaintiffs to enter into a business relationship wherein they would not only invest, but use their vast business knowledge, experience, and list of contacts to find additional investors.
Who does this sound like to you?
A funny and revealing parallel to be noted with both scams is how Verlin Sanciangco insisted investors call him “Sir Verlin,” presenting himself as some kind of crypto nobility. Chris Delgado does the SAME thing, calling himself “Lord Delgado.” It is disturbing that both scams would be so similar unless the same hand was directing both.
Chris Delgado (Founder of Goliath Ventures), Verlin Sanciangco (convicted scammer), Tina Lyu (MLP Business Dev Officer), Anastasia Nepomnyashchikh (Chief Administrative Officer of MLP) and Nick Petrillo (Chief Operations Officer of Goliath Ventures) on January 19th, 2023
The Crypto Liquidity Pool Lie: How Both Scams Claim To Generate Yield
Both My Liquidity Partner (MLP) and Goliath Ventures Inc (GVI) use the exact same fraudulent pitch about “cryptocurrency liquidity pools.” Here’s how they claim it works, according to court documents from the Resound Structured Holdings lawsuit against Smart Contract Solutions and Verlin Sanciangco:
The Supposed Business Model
Liquidity pools operate by holding pairs of cryptocurrencies (like USDC/ETH)
When traders swap currencies on decentralized exchanges, the pool collects approximately 0.3% in fees
Pool operators need cryptocurrency from “Liquidity Partners” to stake
What is “stake”? Crypto staking is a process in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains where users lock up their cryptocurrency to help validate transactions, secure the network, and in return, earn rewards.
These partners supposedly receive weekly returns – often promoted as a fixed 2.25% per week (over 117% annually!)
An introducer network gets paid to bring in new partners (dead giveaway it’s a ponzi scheme)
This is a complete lie. No legitimate liquidity pool operation can guarantee 2.25% weekly returns or the 4–8% that Goliath Ventures offers monthly. The actual returns from real DeFi liquidity pools are typically a fraction of this, and they come with significant impermanent loss risks that these schemes never mention.
Donating Stolen Money For Advertising
Both operations use the same credibility-building strategy of handing out large sums of money to charitable causes. This fools rubes into thinking that these scams are run by people with a lot of money, since philanthropy is usually something very rich people do. But this is all just part of the scam!
My Liquidity Partner claimed portions of proceeds went to the “Ruby Family Foundation” for charitable work.
Goliath Ventures sponsors high-profile charity events in Orlando, donating to children’s cancer organizations and Gandhi Day of Service, using stolen investor money to buy legitimacy. Recently, Goliath Ventures was advertised as a sponsor for the charity Kids Beating Cancer in Orlando. We contacted the charity and convinced them to remove Chris Delgado and Goliath Ventures because they would be accepting stolen funds.
The August 2024 Goliath newsletter boasts about donating $200,000 to a children’s charity – but whose money was that really? It is all stolen investor money.
The Telling Domain Registration Dates
The domain registration dates tell an interesting story:
MyLiquidityPartner.com: Registered October 29, 2021
GoliathVenturesInc.com: Registered October 9, 2021
Both domains were registered through GoDaddy within 20 days of each other. This is not conclusive proof that both ponzi schemes were started by the same party, but it’s a pretty big red flag.
It’s also very likely that MyLiquidityPartner.com expired and someone bought it after it expired. But I suspect that MyLiquidityPartner.com and GoliathVenturesInc.com were registered by the same GoDaddy user. GoDaddy can be compelled to reveal this through subpoena.
The Stolen Contact List Ponzi Recruitment Pipeline
Court documents and victim accounts reveal that My Liquidity Partner and Sanciangco obtained contact lists of potential wealthy investors through bribery. My investigation into Chris Delgado and Goliath Ventures Inc has revealed that many people working in retail in Orlando catering to wealthy people — such as Julie Artrip and Tim Robinson from Rolex Boutique Millenia, along with Amit Nayee from Tiffany & Co. — sold their wealthy clients’ private information to the scammers.
This exact same tactic appears in Goliath Ventures, where Delgado mysteriously had access to lists of high-net-worth individuals in Orlando, particularly targeting successful professionals in the medical field. He would bribe employees of companies to get contact lists of these people.
The Goliath Ventures scam has also made extensive use of real estate agents as super recruiters. Well, Verlin Sanciangco was a realtor himself!
Again, this is not conclusive evidence that Sanciangco, someone I believe to be a fugitive, engineered and is running Goliath Ventures from Dubai. I just think that all this put together creates a damning picture.
Dubai The Safe Haven For Scammers
After being convicted of wire fraud in October 2021 and sentenced to 24 months in federal prison (scheduled to begin August 30, 2022) in an unrelated real estate fraud scheme, where is Verlin Sanciangco now?
While awaiting to start his prison sentence, Sanciangco asked for permission to go to the UAE for “work,” and the Judge foolishly seems to have allowed him to go. He went to the UAE. Sources suggest he’s operating from Dubai, UAE – a jurisdiction notorious for harboring financial criminals and making extradition nearly impossible.
Dubai has become the preferred base of operations for international ponzi schemers. It offers luxury, limited law enforcement cooperation with the US, and easy access to both legitimate banking and cryptocurrency infrastructure.
Chris Delgado, based on sources, owns two apartments in Dubai along with a black Ferrari. Delgado also has extensive links to the UAE.
New Investor Money is Paying Old Investors
There is no investment that can consistently generate a 60% annual compound return with 0% risk over many years. Not in crypto, not in traditional markets. If there was, it would be competed away and revert to average returns fast.
Claiming these high returns were possible with 0% risk was the only proof you need that this was a scam.
Actual DeFi liquidity pool returns after fees and impermanent loss = typically 5–20% annually.
The Goliath Ventures scam and My Liquidity Partner both worked by simply taking money from new investors and paying it out to old investors as “profit.”
Abuse of Women, Misogyny, Check, Check
Chris Delgado and Verlin Sanciangco both have a reputation for extreme misogyny and abuse of women. As does Tomislav “Tomo” Marjanovic Jr., who is Chris Delgado’s super recruiter.
Verlin Sanciangco routinely had 4–6 Russian prostitutes working for him in the UAE, who’d be around him for business meetings and other things. Chris Delgado is notorious for spending time at a private club in Orlando, Florida that has been credibly accused by several sources of sex trafficking. Delgado has slept with employees of this club (documented fact).
When a female friend accused Delgado of running a ponzi scheme, he called her a “prostitute.” When she countered that she was not, he retorted that “all women are prostitutes.”
Delgado has also allowed women to invest into the Goliath Ventures ponzi scheme and has given them unusually high rates of return on their investment. Delgado has 8 girlfriends, many he encourages to get plastic surgery. Keep in mind — Delgado is still married.
Tomislav “Tomo” Marjanovic Jr. has a history of abusing women, cheating on his 8-month pregnant wife, and trying to name his daughter after the pornstar he cheated with. He also routinely responds with slavish, fawning, embarrassingly cringe comments to the notorious criminal, misogynist, and sex trafficker Andrew Tate, who he seems to be in business with.
According to an MLP victim who was recruited by a millionaire friend and ultimately lost $50 million, Sanciangco operated from a 700 sqft office in Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa tower on the 153rd floor. While the office appeared professional on the surface, this victim specifically noted “the bevy of Eastern European women working in the office” — an observation conspicuous enough to mention years later. The victim described it as unusual and deliberate, suggesting their presence was meant to be noticed and to serve a purpose beyond typical office administration.
Sanciangco’s top operatives included Sofya Puzhaykina (Operations Director) and Anastasia Nepomnyashchikh (Chief Administrative Officer). These weren’t merely administrative staff filling conventional roles. According to victim accounts, these women actively “helped attract and deceive investors.” Their deployment appears strategic: using attractive, professional women to disarm skeptical (primarily male) investors, providing a veneer of legitimacy and creating social dynamics where investors were less likely to aggressively question or challenge women in positions of apparent authority. The potential for romantic or sexual enticement of high-value targets cannot be dismissed given the overall operational pattern.
Sanciangco’s assistant from the Philippines, Sheryl Soriano, reportedly fled to the Philippines when the My Liquidity Partner scheme began collapsing. Sources indicate she is currently in possession of some portion of Sanciangco’s stolen funds. This raises critical questions about her role in the operation. Was she a willing accomplice who took her cut when the scheme collapsed? Was she a victim who seized an opportunity to escape with some form of compensation for her exploitation? Or was she a trusted insider who knew too much and had to be “paid off” to disappear and remain silent?
The fact that she had access to move substantial amounts of stolen money suggests she was far more than administrative support — she was trusted with access to the core money pipeline of a massive fraud operation.
Fabian Kumpusch, Carl Moon Runefelt (aka Carl Eric Martin)
Fabian Kumpusch, a German national, is a co-founder of Goliath Ventures along with Chris Delgado. He was also deeply involved in the My Liquidity Partner (MLP) scam with Verlin Sanciangco.
Kumpusch is not just a co-founder of Goliath Ventures alongside Delgado — he was also deeply embedded in the MLP scam. This makes him one of the critical links that lead us to think these aren’t two separate ponzi schemes, but rather a continuous criminal enterprise that merely rebranded after MLP collapsed.
Evidence of Kumpusch’s dual involvement includes:
Based on sources, Kumpusch was present at key meetings between the MLP and Goliath Ventures teams, helping facilitate the transition of the scam structure from one entity to the other.
He leveraged the same investor recruitment networks across both schemes, using his social media presence to attract victims — first to MLP, then seamlessly pivoting to Goliath Ventures.
Kumpusch’s involvement with Goliath Ventures intensified precisely as MLP began imploding in late 2022/early 2023, suggesting he helped orchestrate the rebrand rather than coincidentally joining a new venture.
His social media is a carefully curated facade of wealth — first-class flights, Lamborghinis, luxury watches, and exotic locations — all designed to manufacture the appearance of success that draws in new victims. This performative wealth display is a hallmark of both scams.
Fabian Kumpusch is a fervent believer in “The Secret” and the so-called “Law of Attraction” — the pseudoscientific belief that positive thinking can literally manifest wealth and success. His social media is littered with references to manifestation, visualization, and attracting abundance through thoughts alone.
This is not a coincidence. The Law of Attraction ideology has become a common thread among Goliath Ventures participants and modern ponzi schemers.
Fabian Kumpusch, Christopher Delgado, and Vance Jordan Fundora
Carl Moon Runefelt (also known as Carl Eric Martin, operating under the alias “The Moon Carl”) is another critical player connecting both schemes. A Swedish cryptocurrency influencer with a massive social media following, Moon served as a key promotional figure for both operations:
Moon actively promoted My Liquidity Partner to his hundreds of thousands of followers, lending the scam credibility through his influencer status in the crypto space.
Based on sources, Moon has played a behind-the-scenes role within Goliath Ventures using identical tactics, suggesting either complicity in the rebrand or willful blindness to the obvious red flags.
Moon received substantial compensation from both schemes (I believe!), likely through both direct payments and preferential investment terms that guaranteed returns while regular investors lost everything.
His involvement follows a disturbing pattern where crypto influencers lend legitimacy to fraudulent schemes in exchange for payment, then quietly distance themselves when the scam collapses.
I personally believe Carl Moon Runefelt (aka Carl Eric Martin) to be a sociopath who lies about being a billionaire while herding his followers from one crypto scam to another, making money from crypto-exchange referral systems.
Carl Moon Runefelt (aka Carl Eric Martin)
The fact that both Kumpusch and Moon (not to mention Delgado) were involved in promoting and operating BOTH schemes is a fascinating indicator that Goliath Ventures might be a rebranding of the My Liquidity Partner fraud.
Great — here’s the “Tyler Peters & Lauren Peters” section with only light grammar corrections and bold highlights added for easier reading:
Tyler Peters & Lauren Peters, Galaxy Investment Co and Luxury Jet Ski Rentals
There are many enablers of the Goliath Ventures ponzi scheme, but Tyler Peters and Lauren Peters have played a pernicious and prolific role in recruiting others into this scam and profiting from it mightily while being fully aware that it’s a fraud.
I may do a series on Tyler Peters & Lauren Peters, tracing their assets and how they were brought into Goliath Ventures by a high-level employee who is now having second thoughts about the role he’s playing in this scam.

Summary of the Facts
As this Goliath Ventures Inc, Chris Delgado, Orlando, FL ponzi scheme collapses, hundreds of millions in investor funds have already been siphoned off to fund lavish lifestyles, and fund other criminal enterprises like Aspire Rejuvenation Center, which is a money laundering front. The victims aren’t just losing money — they’re funding an international criminal network that preys on hopes, dreams and hard-earned savings.
The question now isn’t whether Goliath Ventures will collapse — it’s how many people will go to prison when it does, and whether the puppet masters in Dubai will ever face justice.
What is the big takeaway from this? Goliath Ventures Inc ponzi scheme has been running for a lot longer than most people realize. Chris Delgado may be just a puppet who is being controlled by the actual scammers who set this whole thing in motion. Chris Delgado, if you believe him to be a legitimate businessman, why would he be wrapped up in this My Liquidity Partner ponzi scheme for years? Why was he hanging out with Verlin Sanciangco, a financial predator? Is that something a successful businessman would do? Probably not.
