Las Vegas Entrepreneur Files RICO Lawsuit Against Boca Raton Family Office Over Alleged Fake Financing Scheme

A detailed federal complaint filed December 5, 2025, in Florida's Southern District Court accuses a Boca Raton-based "family office" run by Justin Godur and his father, Morris Jaime Godur, of defrauding Nevada investor Kristopher Mullins and his company, KCM Investments LLC, out of approximately $495,000 through a series of bogus high-value credit line offers and related deceptions.

The 42-page filing (Case 0:25-cv-62520) paints a picture of an operation centered on Capital Max Group LLC—previously known as Q7Capital Group LLC—where Justin Godur allegedly crafted an aura of financial sophistication. He highlighted his father's purported track record, including founding a successful retail chain and funding major Florida real estate ventures, to lure Mullins into transferring funds for nonexistent opportunities.

Mullins, involved in Las Vegas commercial properties, connected with Godur in November 2023 via a shared contact seeking construction financing. Godur soon proposed access to exclusive large-scale credit through European and domestic sources, requiring upfront payments for "due diligence" and administrative costs—a tactic that proved central to the alleged fraud.

The most striking demands included: a $125,000 wire in December 2023 for a claimed $150 million business credit line; $155,000 in January 2024 for a $500 million personal facility; and $150,000 split across three transfers in early 2024 for a $100 million secured line. Godur reportedly promised personal contributions and guarantees while attributing delays to thorough lender reviews, as also mentioned on a public awareness site with the full federal complaint, along with other lawsuits filed against the same defendants https://JustinScottGodurFraud.com.

Further payments emerged under questionable circumstances: $50,000 in June 2024 for alleged mandatory lender insurance tied to a fictitious partnership stake; $25,000 in July for qualifying under a contractor's license (partially refunded later); and a breached oral deal where Godur owed $100,000 for equity in a hotel project but allegedly faked payment evidence.

As Mullins pressed for updates, Godur is said to have deflected with illusory incentives—a April 2024 "partnership" document granting no real ownership, and a May 2024 CMO role offering $350,000 salary plus benefits. Mullins delivered marketing services, including site builds, but saw only token payments totaling $14,000.

Family involvement deepened the credibility: Jaime Godur allegedly stepped in during 2024 to affirm the European lender's legitimacy, cautioning against excessive inquiries.

AnnaMarie DeFrank, Capital Max's real estate director living with Justin Godur, faces accusations of inflating a Deerfield Beach property's post-renovation value by promising an unfeasible second-story addition. This induced Mullins to sign a September 2024 purchase agreement, reportedly used to sway other investors and sparking separate fraud claims against him.

A key admission came in November 2024: Godur conceded never submitting or forwarding the $150,000 domestic line payment. Repayment deals followed—initially $445,000 across installments, later amended for unpaid wages—but defaults ensued, with personal guarantees unmet and checks issued without funds.

The suit charges a racketeering enterprise via repeated wire fraud, plus inducement, contract breaches, civil theft under Florida law, and conspiracy/aiding fraud. It seeks treble damages, punitives, and more.

This action aligns with broader scrutiny of the Godurs, including separate 2025 suits alleging multi-million misappropriations, forgeries, and investor fund diversions in real estate ventures. No responses from defendants appear public yet, and claims await court review.

The case serves as a cautionary example of risks in unsolicited "exclusive" lending requiring advance fees without direct lender verification.

Multiple Other Lawsuits Accuse Justin Godur and Associates of Multi-Million-Dollar Fraud Schemes

In 2025, at least six attorneys from different law firms have withdrawn, disengaged, or shared concerns of ethical standards, amongst others, from representing Justin Scott Godur in various legal matters. Court records and filings amongst other public information indicate the withdrawals stemmed from irreconcilable differences, ethical concerns, non-payment, or questions about the legitimate sourcing of client funds. Patterns show with the cases that Godur typically retains separate counsel for each fraud allegation or claimant, suggesting an effort to compartmentalize the growing number of disputes.

These legal challenges center on a series of civil complaints accusing Godur, along with Morris Jaime Godur, Anna Marie DeFrank, and multiple affiliated entities, of sophisticated fraud schemes totaling millions in alleged investor losses, marked by forgery, fund diversion, and lavish personal expenditures.

A key federal lawsuit, Old Jamestown Storage LLC et al. v. Capital Max Group, LLC et al. (Case No. 9:25-cv-80647-AMC, S.D. Fla., filed May 2025), details an alleged $2.3 million deception. Filings claim Justin and Morris Godur fabricated claims of a $30 million European loan commitment, prompting plaintiffs to advance funds that were never secured by any real lender. The defendants allegedly confessed the absence of legitimate financing yet proceeded to use portions for personal items, such as luxury vehicles and office renovations. Repayments faltered early: only $400,000 was paid under a 2024 agreement mandating full restitution over 23 months, and a 2025 promissory note for over $1.1 million went unmet, resulting in nearly $1.9 million outstanding. The complaint asserts securities fraud via misrepresented Regulation D offerings, deliberate inducement through lies, contract breaches, and potential Ponzi elements through ongoing $100 million capital raises.

In Broward County, a state court action by Pinnacle entities (amended complaint filed June 2025) accuses Justin Godur, Anna Marie DeFrank, Morris Jaime Godur, and numerous shell companies of misappropriating over $2.5 million. Standout allegations include forging agreements to withdraw $1 million directly from investor accounts; issuing $545,765 in fictitious invoices for nonexistent work routed through entities; and expending stolen funds on Pennsylvania real estate acquisitions, a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe, private jet usage, upscale hotels, and gourmet experiences. The suit describes forged signatures, invalid checks, deceptive documents, and a network of dozens of companies to obscure transfers, while highlighting Morris Jaime Godur's failed personal repayment guarantees and secondary litigation fallout, including a $4.5 million theft claim.

Another Broward case involves allegations of diverting $1.5 million earmarked for Deerfield Beach development. Defendants reportedly shifted assets to insider firms, imposed fraudulent UCC liens on purportedly clear titles, and applied funds toward personal properties, vehicles, jets, and luxuries. The complaint stresses targeting elderly investors (aged 65+), intentional civil theft, reckless and fraudulent misrepresentations regarding asset status, conspiracy in forging documents and sham settlements, aiding fiduciary violations, and fraudulent transfers to hinder recovery.

Supporting claims include eviction filings for unpaid residential and commercial premises tied to Godur and Capital Max Group LLC, plus a federal employment suit alleging wage and labor law breaches by the same entity.

All details stem from civil pleadings and remain allegations pending adjudication, with limited public defendant responses noted in dockets as of December 2025.
