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 vs Goliath: New Zealand Journalist Sued by Christopher Delgado’s GOLIATH VENTURES INC
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
New Zealand journalist Danny de Hek is being sued by Christopher Delgado’s GOLIATH VENTURES INC in a Florida courtroom.
This is Danny vs Goliath — a real-life David vs Goliath story where truth meets power.
On September 22, 2025, GOLIATH VENTURES INC filed a lawsuit against Danny — 7,000 miles away from his home in New Zealand — claiming he caused “millions of dollars in damages.” Their complaint accuses him of lying about their CEO, running a “smear campaign,” and publishing defamatory content.
Here’s what they didn’t mention: after months of investigating GOLIATH VENTURES INC, Danny uncovered what he believes is a large-scale Ponzi scheme breaking multiple U.S. laws and deceiving investors worldwide.
HIS REPORTING REVEALED:
- Impossible guaranteed returns (4–8% monthly)
- Unlicensed money transmission
- Unregistered securities sold to unaccredited investors
- Connections to convicted fraudsters like Verlin Sanciango (My Liquidity Partner)
- Deceptive claims of insurance and audits
- A pattern of withdrawal delays and shifting excuses
- Now, this lawsuit is being used to silence him.
In this exposé, Danny shows how Christopher Delgado and GOLIATH VENTURES INC have allegedly turned the courtroom into a publicity stunt — using the case to reassure panicked investors and attract new ones under the guise of legitimacy.
The lawsuit, filed by Oliver Birman of Perlman, Bajandas, Yevoli & Albright, reads more like an advertisement than a legal document. It describes GOLIATH as “operating at the leading edge of decentralized finance,” with “fidelity bond coverage” and “strategic Bitcoin initiatives” — phrasing that sounds suspiciously like investor bait.
Danny argues that this lawsuit is not about defamation — it’s about intimidation. It’s about silencing journalists who expose uncomfortable truths.
THIS VIDEO DIVES DEEP INTO:
- How GOLIATH VENTURES INC’s business model mirrors My Liquidity Partner, a previous Ponzi scheme.
- The background of its executives, including Nick Petrillo, who has previously appeared in DOJ indictments.
- How the lawsuit could backfire by exposing the company’s fraudulent operations to even greater public scrutiny.
- The Florida Supreme Court setting underscores a symbolic international clash — the American flag vs the New Zealand flag, justice vs corruption, truth vs manipulation.
- This is not just another scam story. It’s a test of how far financial fraudsters will go to protect their empire when exposed.
