Investors were allegedly lured with marketing materials promising monthly returns from crypto liquidity pools. However, the complaint states the vast majority of funds were not invested as advertised.

Consequently, only about $1.5 million of the investor capital was sent to the decentralized exchange Uniswap. Meanwhile, the DOJ alleges most money was diverted to sustain the fraud and fund Delgado’s lifestyle.

The scheme allegedly used new investor funds to pay purported returns to earlier participants. It also financed extravagant business gatherings, luxury travel, and the purchase of four high-value residential properties.

The DOJ has invited potential victims to self-identify themselves via a dedicated site. Meanwhile, law enforcement will notify identified victims of their rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.
