- JPMorgan Chase is being sued for allegedly allowing a $328 million crypto “Ponzi scheme” to operate through its services.
- The lawsuit claims the bank permitted Goliath Ventures, led by Christopher Alexander Delgado, to misappropriate investor funds.
- Delgado was arrested last month on charges of wire fraud and money laundering related to the scheme.
- Goliath Ventures falsely promised returns from crypto liquidity pools but allegedly used funds for personal luxury expenses.
- The lawsuit argues that JPMorgan failed its Know Your Customer obligations by not verifying Goliath’s regulatory compliance.
