Goliath Ventures Inc (Christopher Delgado) and the Missing FinCEN Registration: Why It Matters

Goliath Ventures is under fire — and for good reason. As the alleged Ponzi scheme continues to unravel, one glaring omission cannot be ignored: there is no evidence that Goliath Ventures ever registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a Money Services Business (MSB).

This isn’t just a minor paperwork issue. For a crypto investment operation handling pooled customer funds, MSB registration is absolutely foundational. Without it, the entire Goliath Ventures enterprise looks like it has been operating completely outside of federal anti–money laundering (AML) oversight.

In this video, I break down what this missing registration means, why it matters, and what kind of legal exposure it could create for Chris Delgado, Matt Burks, and Piers Curry — the figures behind Goliath Ventures.

*WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO*:

- Why FinCEN MSB registration is mandatory for crypto operations handling customer funds
- The legal obligations every Money Services Business must meet (KYC, AML, SAR reporting, recordkeeping)
- How Goliath Ventures allegedly accepted investor money, pooled it, and paid out “returns” without any oversight
- The risks to investors when there is no AML, no KYC, and no regulatory compliance
- The potential criminal, civil, and personal liability Delgado, Burks, and Curry may face under U.S. law
- Why operating without MSB registration could trigger asset forfeiture, civil fines, and wire fraud charges

*WHY THIS IS SERIOUS*

- 18 U.S.C. § 1960 makes it a felony to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business.
- Penalties include up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 in fines per violation.
- The U.S. government can freeze and seize personal and corporate assets tied to the business.
- Civil fines of $5,000 per day may be assessed.
- SEC, FinCEN, and state regulators can pile on with parallel enforcement actions.

For investors, this means your money was never protected. No compliance programs. No regulators watching. No safeguards to stop fraud.

*WHY I’M COVERING THIS*

As The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, my mission is to shine a light on Ponzi schemes, MLM scams, and crypto frauds so ordinary people don’t lose their life savings. Scammers prey on trust and ignorance. By exposing their lies, we take away their power.

I’m not here to sugarcoat it — Goliath Ventures looks like compliance theater. They put on a show of being “insured,” “bonded,” and “regulated,” but the missing FinCEN registration proves otherwise.

This isn’t just sloppy paperwork. It’s one of the clearest legal traps these operators have set for themselves.

*JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST SCAMS*

My channel exists to shame the scammers and protect everyday investors. If you’ve been approached by Goliath Ventures or any other shady “investment” opportunity, take a step back and ask the tough questions:

- Where is the registration?
- Where is the oversight?
- Where is the proof?

When they can’t answer, you already know the truth.

Stay vigilant. Stay informed. And remember: if it looks too good to be true, it is.
