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.

UGC Protocol: Infinite Loop Of Money Coming In

[Verse 1]
They said welcome to the future, welcome to Web3
Smart contracts and freedom, that's what they sold to me
A single global queue, just take your place in line
Double your investment, everything will be fine
Ten turns into twenty, twenty turns to more
Every smiling presenter says they've found the secret door
They talk about transparency, liquidity and trust
But every road I followed led right back to us
[Pre-Chorus]
Who funds the profits?
Who pays the gain?
Why does every answer
Lead back to the same?
[Chorus]
It's an infinite loop of money coming in
That's the line they used while they pulled us in
New money feeds the old money, over and again
An infinite loop of money coming in
They call it freedom, they call it fate
But somebody always gets there too late
The music stops, the lights grow dim
An infinite loop of money coming in
[Verse 2]
Rubén's on the webinar, showing off the dream
Nikko talks of growth and building up the team
Jennifer is smiling while the numbers climb the screen
But where's the outside revenue behind the shiny scheme?
Three point three percent daily, that's what they proclaim
Fourteen levels deep and everybody wants the same
Recruit, duplicate, upgrade and repeat
The whole machine depends on fresh arrivals in the seat
[Pre-Chorus]
Who funds the profits?
Who pays the gain?
Why does every answer
Lead back to the same?
[Chorus]
It's an infinite loop of money coming in
That's the line they used while they pulled us in
New money feeds the old money, over and again
An infinite loop of money coming in
They call it passive income, call it blockchain gold
But every story like this follows scripts we've seen unfold
The early few celebrate, the late ones take the hit
An infinite loop of money coming in
[Bridge]
I've seen this movie before
Different logo on the door
Different names and different faces
Same old promises, different places
The queue keeps moving till it slows one day
The payouts shrink and the leaders drift away
Then everybody asks the question they should have asked at the start
Where did the money come from?
[Final Chorus]
It's an infinite loop of money coming in
Till the flow runs dry and the cracks begin
No magic code can change the math beneath the skin
An infinite loop of money coming in
The webinars end, the excuses begin
The believers wonder where the profits have been
And somewhere buried underneath the spin
Was an infinite loop of money coming in
[Outro]
Follow the wallets
Follow the claims
Follow the money
And you'll find the same
An infinite loop...
Of money coming in.
