⚠️ NEW IN: CFTC TARGETS $397M CRYPTO PONZI SCHEME

The CFTC has filed a lawsuit against Goliath Ventures and CEO Christopher Delgado, alleging the company operated a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme that took at least $397 million from approximately 1,600 customers.

Investors were allegedly told their funds would be used to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum or generate returns through crypto liquidity pools.

Instead, regulators allege new investor funds were used to pay earlier investors and finance Delgado's luxury lifestyle.

Federal authorities say Delgado purchased multiple properties, high-end vehicles, watches, jewelry and other luxury items using proceeds from the scheme.

Delgado pleaded guilty in June to federal fraud and money-laundering charges. His sentencing is scheduled for October 8, 2026.

The SEC has also filed a parallel civil action.

⚠️ NEW IN: AI-ASSISTED RED TEAM UNCOVERS 4,962 BITCOIN SECURITY FINDINGS

A 16-person Bitcoin Red Team has reported 4,962 security findings across 390 open-source projects in roughly 30 hours.

The findings include 85 critical and 635 high-severity issues.

The operation was launched following the recent Coldcard wallet exploit and combined AI-assisted code analysis with human security researchers.

More than 21% of the reported findings had already been independently reproduced, according to reports.

The campaign was supported by OpenSats, which covered approximately $40,000 in AI compute costs.

The findings are still being reviewed and validated, but the scale of the operation highlights significant security risks across the wider Bitcoin software ecosystem.
