Justin Godur Faces Multiple Federal and State Fraud Accusations Totaling Millions in Alleged Investor Losses

Federal and state courts are witnessing an unprecedented wave of civil litigation against Justin Godur, a Florida-based entrepreneur, and his associates, with allegations of orchestrated fraud schemes that have resulted in tens of millions of dollars in claimed investor losses. Court filings from late 2025 through early 2026 paint a picture of systematic deception involving advance-fee scams, forged documents, phantom lending operations, and coordinated fund diversions. Justin Godur stands at the center of these accusations, supported by his father Morris Jaime Godur and real estate associate AnnaMarie DeFrank through entities including Capital Max Group LLC and its predecessor, Q7Capital Group LLC.

The Pattern: How Justin Godur’s Schemes Allegedly Operated Across Multiple Cases

What distinguishes these cases is the repetition of tactics: Justin Godur and his network have been accused of leveraging fabricated “family office” credentials and claims of exclusive access to massive credit facilities to solicit advance payments. Court records reveal that six attorneys have withdrawn from representing Godur in 2025, citing ethical concerns, non-payment disputes, and questions about the legitimate sourcing of client funds. Notably, Godur has reportedly retained separate counsel for each fraud allegation—a pattern that legal observers suggest was designed to compartmentalize mounting disputes and limit cross-case visibility.

The approach consistently involved presenting polished professional facades through websites and corporate structures while making unverifiable claims about access to European or domestic lending sources. Once funds were transferred, Justin Godur allegedly deployed tactics including stalling claims via fabricated processing delays, displaying deceptive documentation, and producing false employment offers and partnership agreements to maintain investor confidence when doubts emerged.

The $2.3 Million Financing Fraud: Old Jamestown Storage Case Against Justin Godur

In the federal case Old Jamestown Storage LLC et al. v. Capital Max Group, LLC et al. (Case No. 9:25-cv-80647, Southern District of Florida), Justin Godur and his father are accused of orchestrating a $2.3 million financing fraud. According to the complaint, they falsely represented access to a $30 million European loan facility, inducing Old Jamestown and investor Rigsby to transfer $2.3 million based on these fabrications.

The filing alleges that both Godurs subsequently admitted that no legitimate lender or financing agreement existed. Instead of deploying the funds toward any legitimate purpose, the money was allegedly diverted toward luxury purchases including high-end vehicles and office enhancements. Court records indicate that Godur defaulted on a June 2024 repayment plan after paying only $400,000 of the owed $2.3 million over 23 months. A February 2025 promissory note for $1.114 million was also allegedly breached, leaving approximately $1.9 million outstanding. The complaint invokes securities fraud charges under SEC Regulation D and intentional misrepresentation statutes. Significantly, the suit warns of a potential Ponzi structure, alleging that Justin Godur is simultaneously soliciting new capital through a purported $100 million SEC-registered offering to offset his prior obligations.

Forged Documents and Phantom Entities: The Pinnacle Equity II Litigation

In Broward County Circuit Court, Pinnacle Equity II, LLC v. Godur et al. (Case No. CACE-25-008622) presents allegations that Justin Godur orchestrated over $2.5 million in theft through an intricate web of forged documents and shell entities. The complaint details specific allegations that Godur forged a consultation contract and signature to siphon $1 million directly from Pinnacle’s account. Additionally, he allegedly created $545,765 in fraudulent invoices for construction work that was never performed, channeling these fake charges through shell companies controlled by his network.

The misappropriated funds were purportedly diverted toward personal enrichment: Pennsylvania real estate holdings, a Chevrolet Tahoe, private aviation travel, luxury hotel stays, and fine dining expenses. Court filings highlight falsified approvals, bounced checks, and fraudulent term sheets designed to obscure the operation. Morris Jaime Godur’s unfulfilled personal guarantees and indemnifications are cited as contributing factors to the victims’ losses. The litigation has created cascading effects, leaving Pinnacle entangled in separate disputes with California lenders and facing a $4.5 million civil theft claim from Butternut Investment Group—a company itself victimized in another lawsuit involving the same defendants.

The Deerfield Beach Real Estate Conspiracy: Butternut Investment Group’s Allegations

Butternut Investment Group, LLC et al. v. Defgod LLC et al. (Case No. CACE-25-006054, Broward County) alleges a $1.5 million conspiracy targeting a Deerfield Beach real estate venture. The complaint accuses Justin Godur, AnnaMarie DeFrank, and Morris Jaime Godur of rerouting investor capital to entities they controlled, forging asset pledge documents, and filing deceptive UCC liens to encumber properties that were supposed to retain clear titles. The stolen proceeds were allegedly used to fund personal assets including real estate purchases, vehicles, and high-end international travel.

The suit emphasizes that the defendants specifically targeted elderly victims over 65 years of age. Charges include civil theft with criminal intent, negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation regarding property ownership and solvency, and coordinated conspiracy to facilitate asset conversions, breach fiduciary duties, and execute insider transfers designed to evade victim recovery efforts.

Beyond the Major Cases: Escalating Legal and Employment Disputes

The litigation against Justin Godur extends beyond these three principal civil cases. Palm Beach County Circuit Court filed an eviction suit by Via Mizner Owner I, LLC against Godur for non-payment in March 2025. A parallel real property eviction action was commenced by Kenneth Lawrence Company LLC against Capital Max Group LLC in February 2025. Additionally, a federal labor dispute, Matoza v. Capital Max Group, LLC (Case No. 1:2025cv22248, Southern District of Florida), alleges systematic violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, including withheld wages owed to employees.

The accumulation of litigation provides a comprehensive portrait of the operating methods allegedly employed by Justin Godur and his network. As of early 2026, these allegations remain unadjudicated, and no formal public responses from the defendants appear in available legal databases. The cases serve as a cautionary narrative for investors evaluating opportunities requiring substantial advance payments for promised lending facilities, particularly when direct contact with the underlying lender cannot be independently verified.
