Jennifer Williams’ husband Christian Gold was sued by twenty-one people who accused him of running a Ponzi Scheme.

Christian Gold, AKA Christian Walden, is again in legal hot water. This week, twenty-one people filed a lawsuit against Christian in an Atlanta-area court with multiple allegations. The various plaintiffs allege Christian solicited money from each one for the pretense of an investment opportunity. However, they claim Christian failed to invest their money and engaged in a Ponzi scheme, claiming he paid earlier investors with money from newer investors.

The Plaintiffs also claim Christian obtained $120,460.86 from the alleged victims and lied about those investment opportunities. Lastly, it’s alleged Christian took money from 150 victims around the country.

According to the court document obtained by Urban Belle, Christian is accused of multiple counts of fraud and wire fraud. This is compounded by the allegation that Christian committed acts that violated the Georgia RICO Act, including allegations of racketeering, embezzlement, and fraud.

The Plaintiffs are seeking $120,460.86, plus interest, and legal fees from Christian.

Previously, Christian and “Basketball Wives” star Jennifer had dealt with the Dekalb County, Georgia court as Christian had violated the terms of his probation. The probation was violated because Christian failed to inform his probation officer about leaving the state of Georgia. Last summer, his probation officer caught him in Europe on Jennifer’s IG account. He had to serve time in the DeKalb County Jail but ultimately was allowed to leave the country for their wedding in Paris, France.

  1. Well EVERYONE tried to tell her not smarter than a 5th grader cornball goofy🫏. But she stayed on the defensive and married that scammer. He leached onto her because she’s weak minded and easy to manipulate. She wanted to be married so bad. We all knew that was too good to be true.😳. Jennifer when this ends please do some self reflection and self love.

    1. I agree with you 200 percent!! She needs to focus on herself. And get with someone equal yolk!!

    1. Jennifer keeps allowing her low self esteem and obsession with materialism to cloud her judgement just to say she has a man. She’s so male identified.

  2. I think Jennifer is a fool and Christian’s face always looks like he’s surprised he’s been getting away with scamming this long. Jennifer is his biggest hustle yet. Getting on Basketball Wives only gave him more visibility he will use to keep scamming people with his fake classes. The only people I feel sorry for are the ones he stole from. Most “day traders” are frauds. Successful investing requires longterm strategies. I suggest mutual funds over options trading. Always invest with licensed and reputable brokers. Christian isn’t even licensed to be doing what he’s doing. He’ll likely go back to jail in a year or so.

  3. I have no respect for Jennifer. She’s platforming a scammer and he’s just going to get more victims because they saw him on Basketball Wives. I can’t believe she married this man. Where is her family?!

    1. It’s really 😞 to see a beautiful black woman with so much swag. Pick the worse me in the entire world to keep attaching herself too. She don’t need no man that bad.

      1. Amen with you she so beautiful and smart, but no common sense.
        He has already show her so many red flags and she just keeps on letting them go by, I bet you he checked her background out and he went straight for her, but I do believe he does love her

  4. Woooooow Jennifer can sure pick a scammer, thief or killer to be involved with. The only man that wasn’t was her first hubby and he was fugly 🫣 that he don’t count. I feel sorry for her that she is so naive and she definitely not smarter than a 5th grader. So that makes it worse. The other ladies kept warning her. But she didn’t listen. Sad Sad saddddddddd😔😞😔😞

  5. Jennifer is an absolute joke. A pretty girl with zero brains. Reminds me of Porsha. Pretty and all mouth. Never listen to people who mean them well and try and steer them away from coming trouble. Jennifer’s first husband left her cause he saw she really had zero substance and always felt like to was better than him. She wasn’t. She picked Tim “Hips” Norman and you know from that she didn’t do her homework on him else she be running in the opposite direction. Now she claims she knows this new one. She is just a fool. I see a divorce on the horizon.

  6. I can’t feel sorry for Jennifer because she causee the forest for the trees.
    She’s going to lat his debts to society until she’s broke.

  7. Jennifer better end this marriage before she ends up paying this bill! Not that she didn’t know where the money was coming from! FOH, he never went to work, they spend most if not all their time together! She needs to stay single, cause this girl will go to the ends of the Earth to find the worse men to date, marry or Fk!
    She needs therapy not a relationship! #WAF

  8. It’s really sad. By listening to Jennifer, she was lonely after her mom passed. She said it was always her and her mom. She never speaks about aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, etc. So, with Christian I don’t think it’s just the money. Yes, she loves the lifestyle but Christian also comes with a family that also loves and supports Jen. I really believe Jen clung to Christian the way she did because she was lonely. That’s why it’s important to be alone with Christ. That way you’ll be wise with in your alone-ness. The devil preys on your vulnerability and a it’s easier for a wolf to attack a sheep when it’s alone w/o a shepherd. Make Christ your Shepherd and He will protect and guide your steps and decision-making. The truth shall come to light. In due time. If Christian is a scammer or not. I hope for her sake, he isn’t. Because all she genuinely wants to do is love and be loved.

  9. He most likely married her knowing she will be forced to pay the debt once his 🔺falls apart, which sounds like it will by March 2026.

  10. I hope she has a very well constructed pre-nup! Looks like she’s going to be sharing her money with a crook that can’t even pay child support to his children!!!
