In a civil complaint lodged on December 5, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case 0:25-cv-62520), Las Vegas-based Kristopher Mullins and KCM Investments LLC charge Justin Godur, his father Morris Jaime Godur, AnnaMarie DeFrank, and Capital Max Group LLC with executing a protracted deception that allegedly siphoned close to $500,000 through fabricated offers of enormous credit facilities and ancillary falsehoods.
The plaintiffs contend that Godur, operating from Boca Raton and controlling Capital Max (once Q7Capital Group LLC), projected an image of a robust family-run investment operation. He reportedly invoked his father’s supposed triumphs in retail and premium Florida developments to foster confidence, a portrayal echoed in associated company sites.
Mullins encountered Godur in autumn 2023 amid efforts to finance Nevada property ventures. Godur purportedly dangled privileged access to substantial lending, insisting on advance payments for processing—features that emerge as especially disturbing given their resemblance to classic upfront-fee cons, 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.
Key transactions cited include a December 2023 $125,000 disbursement for an ostensible $150 million building credit via overseas sources; a January 2024 $155,000 outlay for a purported $500 million individual line; and spring 2024 payments totaling $150,000 for a claimed $100 million asset-backed facility. Godur is said to have cited lender scrutiny for holdups while furnishing no concrete proof of submissions or lenders.
Supplementary outflows underscore the alleged breadth: $50,000 in mid-2024 ostensibly for compulsory lending coverage amid a spurious equity arrangement; $25,000 (largely unreimbursed) toward contractor credentialing; and an unmet $100,000 pledge linked to Nevada hospitality stake, involving purportedly misleading displays to associates.
As queries mounted, Godur allegedly employed ploys like invalid equity accords and a lucrative marketing executive post with scant remuneration despite rendered efforts.
Morris Jaime Godur is implicated for bolstering the narrative, including mid-2024 affirmations of the overseas lender’s reliability. DeFrank, affiliated professionally and personally with Justin Godur, allegedly exaggerated a Deerfield Beach asset’s remodel prospects—asserting a viable upper-level addition would vastly elevate worth—leading Mullins to commit contractually, a document later wielded in separate investor dealings.
A notable concession surfaced in autumn 2024: Godur acknowledged neither advancing nor pursuing the domestic $100 million application. Ensuing restitution pacts, featuring individual assurances and revisions for outstanding wages, reportedly faltered.
Invoking RICO for serial interstate fraud via transfers, the action also pursues inducement, pact violations, Florida theft remedies, and collusion. Remedies encompass multiplied awards and sanctions.
This filing joins mounting litigation against the accused, encompassing 2025 claims from entities like Old Jamestown Storage, Pinnacle-affiliated funds, and others alleging parallel deceptions involving misrepresented funding, multimillion appropriations, document fabrication, and investor harm.
Proceedings are nascent as of late 2025; assertions await adjudication and highlight perils of fee-demanding “privileged” lending absent lender corroboration.
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.
The core of these disputes involves three significant civil lawsuits accusing Justin Scott Godur, Morris Jaime Godur, Anna Marie DeFrank, and numerous affiliated entities of coordinated frauds resulting in alleged multi-million-dollar investor losses through misrepresentation, forgery, and diversion of funds for personal gain.
The federal lawsuit Old Jamestown Storage LLC et al. v. Capital Max Group, LLC et al. (Case No. 9:25-cv-80647, Southern District of Florida, filed May 2025) alleges a $2.3 million scheme based on fabricated European financing. Plaintiffs claim the Godurs misrepresented a secured $30 million loan, leading Old Jamestown Storage LLC and Rigsby Storage LLC to advance funds for nonexistent commitments. Later admissions reportedly confirmed no lender existed, yet funds were allegedly used for personal luxuries like vehicles and office upgrades. Only $400,000 was repaid under a June 2024 agreement requiring full $2.3 million over 23 months; a February 2025 promissory note for $1.114 million was similarly unmet, leaving about $1.9 million unpaid. Counts include securities fraud via false Regulation D representations, fraudulent inducement, contract breaches, and concerns over a $100 million ongoing registered offering potentially funding prior debts in a Ponzi-like fashion.
A Broward County state case brought by Pinnacle entities (Case No. CACE-25-008622) details over $2.5 million in alleged misappropriation. Highlights from filings include Justin Godur forging documents to transfer $1 million from Pinnacle accounts; creating $545,765 in fraudulent invoices for unperformed work channeled through shells; and expending funds on Pennsylvania real estate, a Chevrolet Tahoe, private jets, luxury hotels, and dining. The complaint cites extensive forgeries, bounced checks, fake term sheets, dozens of interconnected companies for concealment, Morris Jaime Godur’s unkept personal guarantees, and secondary harms like exposure to a California dispute and a $4.5 million civil theft claim from Butternut Investment Group.
In another Broward proceeding (Case No. CACE-25-006054), plaintiffs allege $1.5 million was siphoned from a Deerfield Beach real estate investment, redirected to insider companies with fraudulent UCC liens placed on assets represented as clear. Funds reportedly supported personal purchases including properties, vehicles, private travel, and luxuries. Accusations emphasize targeting elderly investors over 65, civil theft with intent, fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations on encumbrances and ownership, conspiracy through forged pledges and sham agreements, aiding fiduciary breaches, and obstructive transfers to impede recovery.
Compounding issues are eviction actions against Godur and Capital Max Group LLC for non-payment of residential and commercial spaces, plus a federal labor claim (Matoza v. Capital Max Group, LLC, Case No. 1:2025cv22248) alleging Fair Labor Standards Act non-compliance.
All specifics derive from civil complaints and related public disclosures, constituting allegations that remain contested and unadjudicated as of December 2025, with defendants’ formal responses limited in accessible dockets.
