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.

Salarium Life: Until Recruitment Slows
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
[Verse 1]
From ancient salt to digital gold
That's the story that we're told
Roman soldiers, empire dreams
Bitcoin flowing through the streams
Build your kingdom, join the fight
Zoom calls every single night
Megan says it's time again
Another road to easy wins
[Pre-Chorus]
Two become four
Four become eight
Everybody says you're early
Till you're suddenly too late
[Chorus]
It's the same old story in a brand-new disguise
Roman banners, crypto wallets, promises and lies
Build your empire, climb the ranks, become the emperor
But where's the customer?
Tell me where's the customer?
[Verse 2]
Miles, Optio, Centurion
Everybody's carrying on
Legatus, Tribunus too
Everybody chasing something new
Send the screenshots, share the link
Don't ask questions, don't overthink
Find your two and then their two
That's exactly what they tell you to do
[Pre-Chorus]
Duplicate and leverage
That's the language every day
But if the money needs new people
What happens when they stop to pay?
[Chorus]
It's the same old story in a brand-new disguise
Roman banners, crypto wallets, promises and lies
Build your empire, climb the ranks, become the emperor
But where's the customer?
Tell me where's the customer?
[Bridge]
Megan Lynch says here we go
Another rocket, another show
Another dream, another stage
Another chapter, another page
Zoom room buzzing, leaders cheer
Everybody says the future's here
But I've seen this movie way too many times
Different logo, same old lines
[Breakdown]
Who owns the company?
Who owns DHMedia?
Why India?
Why the matrix?
Why the secrecy?
Why the crypto?
Why the commissions?
Why no retail numbers?
[Final Chorus]
It's the same old story in a brand-new disguise
Roman banners, crypto wallets, promises and lies
The dashboards glow, the money flows
At least until recruitment slows
Build your empire if you choose
But understand the game you use
Because the question still remains
When the music stops...
Who pays the gains?
[Outro]
From ancient salt
To digital wealth
Everybody chasing freedom
Somebody else chasing your wallet
