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.

Coffeezilla Exposes a $300M Scam — This Is What Real Investigative Journalism Looks Like
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
CoffeeZilla has just released one of the biggest investigations of his career, exposing the alleged $328 million Goliath Ventures Inc Ponzi scheme tied to Christopher Delgado — and this has become the biggest moment of my YouTube journey.

In this livestream, I’ll be reacting to the full CoffeeZilla documentary and breaking down what really happened behind the scenes. This wasn’t just a video about a court case. This was months of investigation, whistleblowers, lawsuits, blockchain tracing, victims coming forward, and a story that almost never got told.
THE STORY BEFORE THE HEADLINES
I started investigating Goliath Ventures Inc on 1 September 2025, long before most people had ever heard the name. What stood out from the beginning was the way the operation moved quietly through trusted personal networks rather than public advertising.
People were not being sold a random crypto deal by strangers. They were being introduced by people they trusted. That is what made it so dangerous.
The pitch was wrapped in private equity language, luxury branding, private jets, Rolls-Royces, celebrity associations, political connections, and claims of serious financial credibility. But underneath the image, the numbers did not make sense.
THE RETURNS DID NOT ADD UP
Goliath Ventures allegedly claimed investor funds were being used in liquidity pools and crypto trading strategies capable of producing extraordinary monthly returns.
CoffeeZilla independently tested those claims by tracing wallet flows and following the money. What he found was not meaningful trading activity supporting those returns.
Instead, the evidence allegedly showed new investor money being used to pay earlier investors — the classic structure prosecutors now allege formed part of a massive Ponzi scheme.
That moment in the documentary was surreal for me because it independently confirmed concerns we had been chasing for months.
RETIREMENT MONEY & FALSE SECURITY
One of the most disturbing parts of this investigation is the retirement money angle.
CoffeeZilla’s documentary explores the connection between Goliath Ventures, Blackblock, My Wealth MD, audit claims, and investors allegedly being reassured that funds were backed and secure.
Many people believed the company had already been vetted because of the branding, the events, the paperwork, and the people surrounding it.
But when withdrawals started freezing, the illusion began to collapse.
Behind the scenes, victims were frightened, embarrassed, and unsure who to trust.
THE LAWSUIT & THE PRESSURE
After I started publicly raising concerns, I was sued in the United States.
That lawsuit created enormous pressure. Not just on me, but on victims, insiders, journalists, and anyone thinking about speaking publicly.
CoffeeZilla explains in his documentary how close he came to walking away from the story because of legal risk. That part hit me hard because it shows the reality of independent journalism.
The threats are real.
The lawsuits are real.
The financial pressure is real.
The emotional toll is real.
This is why so many stories do not get told until a court filing makes them safe to repeat.
But real investigative journalism starts before the paperwork arrives.
THE CHARGES
Before CoffeeZilla released the documentary publicly, federal authorities charged Christopher Delgado in connection with what prosecutors allege was a $328 million Ponzi scheme.
Shortly after that, the lawsuit against me was dropped.
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.
