The last few weeks haven’t been loud. They’ve been heavy. My inbox hasn’t been filling with speculation or curiosity — it’s been filling with confessions. People admitting they haven’t been paid since October, November, and December. People saying they stayed quiet because they wanted to believe this would resolve itself. People who were told to wait just a little longer, right up until “the end of January.”

The email is attributed to Eric Clayman, a Florida-based defence attorney listed as external corporate counsel for Goliath Ventures Inc. His name has appeared before in connection with the company, and the message was presented as a formal legal update. That matters — because attaching a lawyer’s name to an email like this is meant to create credibility, calm nerves, and slow questions. What it does not do is prove that funds exist, explain where investor money is, or justify why payments stopped months ago.

And right as more investors finally started comparing notes, sharing documents, and realising they were all being told the same rotating story, another email arrived.

This one came dressed up as a “New Company Update Message Received – Outstanding Exits & Distributions.” It carried a lawyer’s name. It sounded calm. It sounded official. And it said almost nothing of substance.

THE EMAIL THAT CHANGES NOTHING

This wasn’t a normal company update. It wasn’t openly published like earlier newsletters. It arrived as a gated document, restricted in how it could be accessed and shared. That alone matters.

The timing matters even more.

When people act alone, silence protects the company. When people talk to each other, pressure builds. These kinds of emails don’t appear to inform — they appear to slow momentum.

What the email does is repeat a familiar refrain: banking issues, MSB applications, compliance delays. What it does not do is answer the questions investors have been asking for months.

THE MSB EXCUSE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

An MSB application does not freeze money. It does not prohibit distributions. It does not override contracts. And it does not explain why some people were paid while most were not.

MSBs handle large transaction volumes every day. Capacity is not the issue. If money cannot be paid now, the real question is not when MSB approval arrives — it is where the money currently is.

That question is never answered.

THE DECEMBER PROMISE THAT NEVER ARRIVED

In December, Goliath sent an official newsletter stating that October catch-ups would be paid, November payouts would be included, and normal payment cadence would resume.

Many investors are still waiting.

That leaves us with an uncomfortable contradiction: an audit claiming over 115% coverage, a newsletter promising full catch-up, a lawyer citing MSB delays, and investors unpaid for months. All of these statements cannot be true at the same time.

SELECTIVE PAYOUTS AND SILENCE

As more people come forward, another pattern becomes impossible to ignore. Some people were paid. Not because of exit order or contract timing, but because of proximity, influence, or the ability to cause problems.

Selective payouts are not a sign of stability. They are triage — deciding who to calm and who to stall. That is not how legitimate investment operations function.

WHY COMING FORWARD NOW MATTERS

Investigations don’t move on rumours or reassurance emails. They move on evidence. Contracts. Proof of payment. Wallet transactions. Messages. Timelines. Names.

For months, people waited individually. That protected th
