Looking for clarity on the situation involving Chris Delgado and investor concerns

[Ashley Rivera]

I came across a long investigative piece that discusses Chris Delgado in connection with Goliath Ventures and the response to reporting about that company’s operations. The article describes a situation where, after critical reporting was published, a series of legal threat emails reportedly surfaced from Gmail accounts linked to Pakistan that claimed to act on Delgado’s behalf. Those emails, according to the article, cited legal frameworks that do not apply to journalism in the United States or to the specific content in question.


From the publicly available reporting, the central issue seems to be a conflict between a journalist’s investigation into Goliath Ventures’ business model and the company’s reaction. The investigation cited corporate filings and regulatory data while questioning certain aspects of Goliath Ventures’ compliance with U.S. securities law, although it’s important to emphasize that this thread is based on what’s been reported and not on an official adjudication.


It also appears that Goliath Ventures has filed a lawsuit in Florida against the journalist, which is a matter of public record according to secondary reporting, and that Delgado and his representatives have characterized critical reporting as defamatory. That lawsuit itself is a public court filing separate from the initial investigative report and shows that both sides are now in litigation.


What confuses me a bit is how much of the narrative in these articles stems from the reporting itself rather than independent legal outcomes. The journalist’s piece draws heavily on publicly accessible corporate and regulatory filings along with his own analysis. I’m wondering how other people here think about weighing reports like this against the existence of actual court filings and public regulatory actions. Has anyone seen primary documentation that supplements what’s been published so far?

That’s useful context. I wasn’t sure if the lawsuit referenced was actually accessible or just described by secondary sources. The fact that there are real filings means we can at least look at what the complaint says directly rather than just summaries. I suppose the next step would be checking the Florida court docket.

I’m curious whether Goliath Ventures is registered with regulators like the SEC or FinCEN in any capacity. One of the reporting threads says it was not registered as a Money Services Business, which is the kind of detail you can verify independently through those agencies’ searches. That doesn’t directly say anything about Delgado personally, but it’s the sort of public record that can anchor these discussions.

Thanks, that makes sense. I will try to delve into the SEC and FinCEN search tools to see if I can verify registrations. It feels like separating what’s publicly verifiable (like a lawsuit filing) from what’s reported (like the email campaign) is key here.
