Investors filed a federal class-action complaint alleging JPMorgan Chase processed roughly $253 million in suspicious transfers connected to Goliath Ventures’ $328 million Ponzi scheme, according to reporting and court filings [1] [2].

The suit says Goliath — formerly Gen‑Z Venture Firm — promised investors about 4% monthly returns from purported Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDC liquidity pools that generated no real profits; CEO Christopher Alexander Delgado was arrested on Feb. 24, 2026 on wire‑fraud and money‑laundering charges [1] [3].

Plaintiffs contend more than $253 million flowed through JPMorgan accounts between 2023 and 2025 and point to irregular transaction patterns they say escaped proper scrutiny, framing the case as a test of bank liability for allegedly enabling crypto fraud [2] [4].

The lawsuit aims to hold JPMorgan accountable for its role in the transfers; upcoming court proceedings will determine the bank’s legal exposure and whether banks can be held liable for facilitating similar crypto schemes [4] [2].
