“Federal Lawsuit Alleges JUSTIN GODUR Engaged in Multi-Tier Fake Financing Operation — Plaintiffs Claim $500,000+ Paid for Illusory Credit Lines and Broken Funding Promises”

 

In the federal lawsuit Mullins et al. vs. Godur et al., Case No. 0:25-cv-62520, the Plaintiffs allege that JUSTIN GODUR, together with AnnaMarie DeFrank and Morris Jaime Godur, participated in what the complaint describes as a multi-tier, deception-based financing operation centered on fabricated credit programs, misleading investment representations, and repeated demands for substantial upfront payments. According to the filing, the defendants allegedly obtained more than $500,000 — including payments made by a 100% Disabled Military Veteran — while many of the promised funding submissions, approvals, and repayment commitments allegedly never existed or were never carried out. These statements reflect Plaintiffs’ allegations only and have not been proven in court.

 

 

• The lawsuit alleges that JUSTIN GODUR and AnnaMarie DeFrank operated a coordinated deception framework built around repeated financing misrepresentations and false assurances of access to large-scale credit facilities.

• Plaintiffs claim a fabricated “family office” narrative was used to solicit major upfront payments for multi-million-dollar credit lines the complaint says never existed.

• According to the filing, nearly half a million dollars in wire transfers were obtained through what Plaintiffs describe as false claims of lender approvals and ongoing funding progress.

• The lawsuit asserts that Plaintiffs were told a $150 million construction credit facility would be secured in exchange for a $125,000 fee — funds they allege were never applied to due-diligence or lender expenses.

• Plaintiffs further allege they paid $155,000 toward a purported $500 million personal credit facility that the complaint states was never submitted or processed by any financial institution.

• The filing claims that JUSTIN GODUR later acknowledged no application existed for a separate $100 million credit submission, despite having already collected $150,000 tied to that representation.

• Plaintiffs allege that a non-existent European funding source was repeatedly cited to imply applications were “under review,” even though no submission activity existed, according to the lawsuit.

• The complaint describes sham partnership titles, staged employment roles, and false compensation and equity promises allegedly used to maintain credibility while payments continued.

• According to the filing, a $50,000 “lender insurance” fee was requested — despite such insurance never being purchased or required.

• Plaintiffs claim they were charged $25,000 for a contractor license that the defendants allegedly could not verify or substantiate.

• The lawsuit states that misrepresentations relating to the Deerfield Beach property exposed Plaintiffs to additional litigation and financial harm.

• The complaint further alleges that forged or improperly-used documents were connected to the diversion of outside capital funds.

• Plaintiffs claim repayment agreements were signed, acknowledged — and later defaulted, even after alleged admissions concerning earlier misrepresentations.

• According to the lawsuit, Plaintiffs performed months of full-time professional work under promises of executive-level compensation, but received only $14,000 total.

• The filing alleges that funds represented as project, licensing, and due-diligence costs were instead converted to personal use, resulting in significant financial and reputational damage.
