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.

Goliath Ventures Inc: The Deleted Video, The Rewritten Narrative, And The Quiet Exit
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A short promotional video appeared on GOLIATH VENTURES INC’s official social media accounts. Four hours later, it was gone. Before it disappeared, we secured the video and preserved the transcript. What it revealed was not transparency — it was a glimpse into how the narrative is being rewritten while investors remain unpaid.
THE VIDEO THAT SHOULDN’T HAVE LASTED
The video confidently spoke about the future — 2026, expansion, stability, and strength. It again referenced the previously disclosed $8.5 million investment into the downtown Florida Chase Building, presenting it as part of a renewed “global HQ” vision. On the surface, it looked like reassurance. In context, it raised immediate red flags.
THE CORPORATE SHIFT
On 3 September, the original Florida entity tied to GOLIATH VENTURES INC was shut down. A new company was registered in a different U.S. state. As far as we can determine, there are no operational offices tied to that new entity. Yet the video promoted a Florida-based headquarters narrative as if nothing had changed. That contradiction matters.
THE REPACKAGED ASSET
The Chase Building itself is not new information. It was purchased months earlier from Mark Nejame. What changed was how it was being presented — recycled as proof of momentum and future growth at a time when withdrawals had been frozen for months. Assets don’t equal liquidity, and buildings don’t pay investors.
THE SILENCE
Around the same time, public engagement across GOLIATH VENTURES INC’s social media quietly disappeared. Comments were disabled. Older posts were removed. Communication shifted from open promotion to controlled messaging. This is not the behaviour of a transparent operation addressing investor concerns in real time.
THE SELECTIVE PAYMENTS
We received independent intel from one individual claiming they received their initial investment back plus dividends in November, after earning more than 5% per month for over a year. This allegedly occurred while other investors — and even internal agents — had their withdrawals frozen. Selective liquidity during a freeze is never accidental.
THE CONTRACT QUESTION
Many investors believe they are protected by contracts. The uncomfortable question is simple: which company are those contracts actually with? Were they reissued after the September shutdown? And how enforceable are they against an entity that no longer exists in that jurisdiction?
THE NARRATIVE PIVOT
The removed video subtly introduced a shift away from crypto, toward “other ventures” framed as more stable. This is a familiar pattern. When promised returns collapse and liabilities mount, the story changes. The future is pushed further out. Responsibility is softened. Accountability is delayed.
THE FINAL FRAME
The last frame of the deleted video showed a Trump / JD Vance 2024 image. That wasn’t accidental. It appeared designed to signal future political cover — suggesting current failures are about timing, regulation, or the “wrong administration,” not the company’s conduct. The message was clear: hold the line now, help comes later.
The problem is that later doesn’t pay today’s bills, and deleted videos don’t erase obligations.
This video wasn’t removed because it reassured investors. It was removed because it revealed too much about how the story is being reframed while money remains missing.
The Avengers Anti-Fraud Alliance is a community supporting independent investigations into scams, Ponzi schemes, MLMs, crypto fraud and the people behind them.
Led by New Zealand investigative journalist Danny de Hek, the Avengers help uncover information, connect victims, analyse evidence and expose schemes that deserve public scrutiny.
We investigate. We expose. We protect.
