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.

[Verse 1]
It always starts with a promise...
Financial freedom...
Passive income...
A better life.
The smiles look real.
The testimonials sound convincing.
The chat fills with applause.
But behind the screens...
Behind the webinars...
Behind the fake success stories...
Another family loses everything.
A retirement disappears.
A mortgage is gone.
A lifetime of savings...
Stolen by a lie.
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the messages arrive.
"I've lost everything."
"I don't know how to tell my family."
"Can you help?"
That's where our story begins.
[Chorus]

Standing with victims.
Following the evidence.
Exposing deception.
Speaking the truth.
No false hope.
No empty promises.
Just facts.
Just evidence.
Just the truth.
[Verse 2]
We don't wait until the headlines appear.
We walk into the Zoom meetings.
We ask the questions
Nobody else will ask.
We archive the websites.
We follow the blockchain.
We trace the companies.
We preserve the evidence.
Open-source intelligence.
Digital footprints.
Corporate records.
Because scammers always leave a trail.
[Pre-Chorus]
They delete the videos.
They report the channels.
They threaten lawsuits.
They launch smear campaigns.
But facts don't disappear.
Truth leaves a permanent record.
[Chorus]
Danny de Hek...
The Avengers...
The Avengers Anti-Fraud Alliance.
Independent journalism.
Independent investigation.
Helping victims understand
What really happened.
Naming the people
Behind the lies.
Making it harder
For organised fraud
To survive.
[Bridge]
Justice moves slowly.
We don't.
We expose.
We document.
We educate.
We warn.
We disrupt.
We notify regulators.
We inform journalists.
We protect the evidence.
Because every investigation
Could stop the next victim
From losing everything.
[Final Chorus]
This isn't about revenge.
It's about accountability.
This isn't about clicks.
It's about consequences.
For every family.
For every retirement.
For every victim.
We'll keep asking questions.
We'll keep exposing fraud.
We'll keep standing up.
