The announcement explains:
“Victims were induced to give money to Goliath through personal referrals, professional marketing materials, luxury events, charitable sponsorships, and some monthly payments of purported returns, all of which were designed to establish Goliath’s bona fides with investors,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida noted. “Based on these false and fraudulent representations, Goliath obtained at least $328 million from victim investors.”
“With victim investors’ funds, Delgado purchased four residential properties each worth between $1.15 million and $8.5 million … If convicted on all counts, Delgado faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in federal prison.”
The case was announced by United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe and is being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations. Prosecutors emphasize that a criminal complaint contains allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
