DANNY DE HEK
I investigate organised fraud and name the people behind it — no filters, no fear, no takedowns.
I’m Danny de Hek, a New York Times–featured investigative journalist exposing scams, Ponzi schemes, and MLM frauds through DANNY DE HEK
INVESTIGATIONS.
Every episode is drawn from my real investigations — solo recordings that call out scammers, dissect fraudulent networks, and uncover the digital evidence they try to hide.
There are no guests, no scripts, and no polite conversations — just raw, unfiltered truth. When you listen to this podcast, you’re hearing the same investigations that appear on my YouTube channel and website, available across 18 platforms so the truth can’t be silenced.
Expose. Protect. Take action.
