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: [00:00:38] You’re in your car because you’ve got a young child. That’s made a lot of noise. So you’ve come out the car record. I want to get to know you this I’ve got these questions. If you’re not familiar with them, our listeners, basically I have a hundred questions and they’re random and I’ve grabbed 12 and we’re going to ask, they say, is there anything you wish would come back into fashion?
Cliff “Fifth” Henderson: [00:01:02] Ooh. Anything I wish would come back into fashion? I think the rap music that I grew up on, I wish that would come back that style. Music would come back and passing right now. Things are very different and I like the new wave, but yeah, I wish I wish that it was still cool to, to rap. Like some of the people that I grew up on, you know?
DANNY : DE HEK: [00:01:22] Yeah. Did you hit one of those radios that you put on your shoulder? A boom box and it had took like those D sized batteries and you’d have about 10 of them in the back of it and walk around the neighborhood.
Cliff “Fifth” Henderson: [00:01:33] Yeah, we have one of those. So that feels like more of a New York thing to me, for some reason, like on the East coast kind of thing is what I think about when I think of that. But yeah. Yeah, we definitely, you know, we have boom boxes and stuff like that and we would listen to music outside and yeah, we did OB. Yeah.
DANNY : DE HEK: [00:01:50] That’s cool. All right. Let’s see, yeah, if you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
