In a federal lawsuit filed on December 5, 2025, in the Southern District of Florida (Case 0:25-cv-62520), Nevada entrepreneur and investor Kristopher Mullins and his company, KCM Investments LLC, accuse Justin Godur, his father Morris Jaime Godur, Godur's company Capital Max Group LLC (formerly Q7Capital Group LLC), and real estate professional AnnaMarie DeFrank of orchestrating a sophisticated fraud that cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars. The complaint details a series of alleged misrepresentations involving illusory multi-million-dollar lines of credit, sham business agreements, and a fraudulent real estate deal, culminating in claims under federal RICO laws, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, civil theft, and conspiracy.

The plaintiffs, residents of Las Vegas, Nevada, describe how Justin Godur, a Boca Raton resident and managing member of Capital Max, portrayed himself and his family as operators of a wealthy "family office" with extensive real estate and financing expertise. Godur claimed his father, Jaime Godur, had built success through founding ventures in eyewear and major South Florida developments, including purported lending for high-profile projects like the Versace mansion and large-scale Boca Raton developments. Websites for entities like Q7 Capital LLC reinforced this image of global networks and high-net-worth clientele.

Mullins, an investor in Las Vegas real estate, first met Godur in November 2023 through a mutual business partner. Godur quickly pitched exclusive financing opportunities, allegedly inducing Mullins to wire substantial "due diligence" fees for access to massive credit lines that never materialized—one of the most shocking elements of the scheme 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

In December 2023, Mullins wired $125,000 to Godur's company for a purported $150 million construction line of credit from a European fund, with Godur claiming he would personally guarantee it and contribute $1.5 million in collateral. Just weeks later, in January 2024, Mullins sent another $155,000 for a $500 million personal line of credit under similar pretenses. Godur repeatedly assured Mullins that applications were processing, blaming delays on extensive due diligence.

The deception escalated in March 2024 when Godur offered a third, $100 million personal line from a domestic lender, described as exclusive due to the family's elite connections. Mullins paid $150,000 in three $50,000 installments between March and April 2024. During a visit to Godur's Florida offices, Godur showcased luxury properties and lender databases to bolster credibility.

Additional payments followed under false pretenses. In February 2024, Godur agreed to pay Mullins $100,000 for an equity interest in a Las Vegas hotel purchase (The Downtowner) but never did, even falsely showing a third party a check he never delivered. In June 2024, Godur convinced Mullins—as a purported "part-owner" of Capital Max—that he needed $50,000 for mandatory "lender insurance," which was never purchased. In July 2024, another $25,000 was wired for a general contractor license qualification that was never obtained (Godur later refunded only $10,000).

Perhaps most egregiously, Godur admitted in November 2024 that he never applied for or remitted the $150,000 for the third credit line, despite prior assurances. He continued insisting the first two European applications were legitimate but failed to provide promised proof.

To delay exposure, Godur allegedly used diversions: a sham "Partnership Agreement" in April 2024 granting Mullins fake ownership in Capital Max, followed by a May 2024 employment offer as Chief Marketing Officer with a $350,000 salary and premium health benefits. Mullins performed extensive work, including website development, but received only $14,000 in sporadic payments by late 2024.

Jaime Godur's involvement added critical credibility. In July 2024, he personally reassured Mullins that the European fund was real and warned against further questions, stating, "these people have a lot of money, you don’t mess with them."

DeFrank, hired as Capital Max's Director of Real Estate in June 2024 and residing with Justin Godur, allegedly misrepresented a Deerfield Beach property renovation plan. She and Godur claimed adding a second story would dramatically increase value, inducing Mullins to sign a purchase agreement in September 2024. Mullins later discovered the foundation couldn't support it—a fact the defendants allegedly knew. This agreement was reportedly used to convince investors in Pinnacle One Capital Group to buy the property, leading to a separate lawsuit against Mullins for fraud.

When suspicions peaked in November 2024, Godur signed repayment agreements promising to return $445,000 (covering most payments except the unproven European fees) plus later amendments adding unpaid salary. He personally guaranteed them but defaulted, issuing bad checks as "good faith" gestures.

The complaint alleges a "Godur Enterprise" engaged in wire fraud via interstate transfers totaling over $495,000, forming a RICO pattern. Plaintiffs seek triple damages under RICO and Florida civil theft statutes, punitive damages for fraud, and enforcement of breached contracts.

This case highlights the dangers of upfront fees for promised financing—a common red flag in advance-fee scams. While the allegations are serious, including admissions of falsehoods and breached repayments, they remain unproven in court. The defendants have multiple other pending lawsuits accusing similar misconduct, underscoring a pattern of disputes over alleged fraud in real estate and lending.

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 most serious accusations appear in three major civil lawsuits filed against Godur, his father Morris Jaime Godur, Anna DeFrank, and related entities.

In Old Jamestown Association, LP et al. v. Godur et al. (Case No. 9:25-cv-80647, S.D. Fla.), plaintiffs allege a $2.3 million financing scam. Court documents claim Justin and Morris Godur falsely represented that they had secured a $30 million loan from European lenders. Relying on these statements, Old Jamestown and investor Rigsby wired $2.3 million for purported financing costs. The complaint states there was never a legitimate lender or loan agreement. After receiving the funds, the Godurs allegedly diverted money for personal luxuries—including a luxury vehicle and unrelated office upgrades—while making only $400,000 in partial repayments under a June 2024 agreement. A subsequent February 2025 promissory note for $1.114 million was also allegedly ignored, leaving approximately $1.9 million unpaid. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of securities fraud, common-law fraud, and breach of contract, and raises concerns that new investor funds from an ongoing $100 million SEC-registered offering may be used to pay earlier debts in a Ponzi-like manner.

In Pinnacle Equity II, LLC v. Godur et al. (Case No. CACE-25-008622, Broward County, Fla.), plaintiffs accuse Justin Godur, Anna DeFrank, Morris Jaime Godur, and others of stealing more than $2.5 million through forgery, fake invoices, and shell companies. Specific allegations include:

• Forging a consultation agreement and signature to transfer $1 million directly from Pinnacle’s bank account.
• Generating $545,765 in sham construction invoices for work that was never performed.
• Spending misappropriated funds on Pennsylvania real estate, a new Chevy Tahoe, private jets, luxury hotels, and high-end dining.
• Using dozens of shell companies to conceal transfers and perpetuate the scheme.
The complaint further claims the fraud exposed Pinnacle to additional lawsuits and a $4.5 million civil theft demand, while noting broken personal guarantees by Morris Jaime Godur.

A similar pattern appears in Shoshana v. Godur et al. (Case No. CACE-25-006054, Broward County, Fla.), where plaintiffs allege Justin Godur, Anna DeFrank, and Morris Jaime Godur diverted $1.5 million intended for a Deerfield Beach real estate project. The funds were allegedly redirected to insider entities, used for personal luxuries and travel, and shielded through forged pledges and UCC liens. The lawsuit specifically accuses the defendants of exploiting elderly investors (over age 65), civil theft with felonious intent, fraudulent transfers, and a coordinated conspiracy to obstruct repayment.

Additional actions include two residential/commercial eviction proceedings for non-payment and a federal labor lawsuit (Matoza v. Capital Max Group, LLC, Case No. 1:2025cv22248) alleging Fair Labor Standards Act violations by a Godur-owned entity.

All described conduct remains alleged in civil complaints and has not been proven in court. The defendants have not yet publicly responded to the specific claims in available filings.
