DANNY DE HEK
Scammers rely on silence. We make noise.
Welcome to the Avengers Anti-Fraud Alliance, led by Danny de Hek, a New Zealand investigative journalist whose work exposing scams, Ponzi schemes, MLMs and financial fraud has been featured by The New York Times, Bloomberg, The Guardian, ABC Australia, RNZ and others.
This podcast takes you inside real investigations.
We follow the money, identify the people behind fraudulent operations, examine corporate records, court documents, blockchain transactions, marketing material, leaked communications and digital evidence — then put what we find into the public record.
Some investigations begin with a victim contacting me. Others start with an anonymous tip, a suspicious Zoom meeting, a cryptocurrency wallet, a court filing, or an Avenger somewhere in the world saying: “Danny, you need to look at this.”
The Avengers Anti-Fraud Alliance brings together researchers, whistleblowers, victims and ordinary people who are tired of watching scammers operate without scrutiny.
Patreon helps fund that work and gives supporters a closer look behind the investigations — including updates, evidence, developing stories and material that doesn't always fit into a YouTube video.
I don't accept payment to remove investigations. I don't sell reputation management. And when someone I investigate disagrees with my reporting, I give them the opportunity to respond.
The objective is simple:
Investigate. Analyse. Expose. Protect.
If you're a victim, whistleblower or you've discovered something that deserves investigating, get in touch.
Scams thrive in darkness. The Avengers turn on the lights.

Danny de Hek 0:29
Excellent. I’m in Danny and I’m in New Zealand and introduce our guests. So what we’re doing and familiar with my podcast is I have 12 questions I asked my visitors, and we get straight into it before we find out who they are and what they do. So my first question on the card that even I don’t know what it is, what’s one thing you will never do again?
Wendy Lynn Johnson 0:52
That’s really easy. I will never be a Jehovah’s Witness again.
Danny de Hek 0:58
Brilliant!One, I should have asked near the end that that’s, that’s going to be an interesting story coming out. Yeah. Well, I’m going to pick a nother question. That’s question number one or leaving questions to go. Right. What three items would you take with you on a desert island?
Wendy Lynn Johnson 1:16
Desert Island? Oh, that’s interesting. Um, well say clean water. Um, my crystal. Ooh. And something to make a fire.
Danny de Hek 1:41
Fire. You can cook. You can eat your crystals over them. You might

Danny de Hek 1:48
That’s good. These questions are totally random. So I, myself don’t even know what’s coming up. Really? Next. thing. Okay, what is your favourite family holiday might be when you’ve had it. Probably not much holiday and going on at the moment, unfortunately. But what’s one that comes to mind?
