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.

The Fall of Rory Conacher: Liquidated in Court, Exposed by Family, and Finally Held Accountable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this exclusive audio recording, Michelle Alistoun—cousin to exposed scammer Rory Conacher—breaks her silence following a landmark court ruling in Durban. On 4 August 2025, the High Court granted a provisional liquidation order against RJS Capital (Pty) Ltd after finding compelling evidence of insolvency and misconduct.
With no introduction, this episode features Michelle reading her personal statement in her own voice—raw, emotional, and unfiltered. She recounts how Rory manipulated her and others over three years with false promises, fake legal threats, and spiritual deflections while withholding hundreds of thousands of dollars, including her daughter’s university fund.
This is not just a victim’s story—it’s a call to action. Michelle funded the legal battle, formed a creditor group called The Vanguard, and now speaks out to ensure no one else falls for Rory’s deception. Her courage and clarity in the face of betrayal expose the psychology of financial abusers and the manipulative tactics they use—including DARVO, fear management, and gaslighting.
This podcast stands as a public record—because silence protects predators.
