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.

OneTrade AI Arbitrage: New Name, Same Game
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
[Intro]
"They changed the logo...
They changed the website...
But did they change the game?"
---
[Verse 1]
I followed the breadcrumbs,
Right back through the smoke.
A brand-new promise,
Wrapped in an old joke.
New colours, new branding,
Fresh PowerPoint slides.
Same old commission,
Same old disguise.
They call it arbitrage,
They call it AI.
They promise tomorrow,
But never explain why.
The contracts look polished,
The paperwork's neat.
But polished deception,
Is still a deceit.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen this movie...
More times than I can count.
Different logo...
Same amount.
---
[Chorus]
One Trade!
Same lies!
Different logo,
Different disguise.
They sell you freedom,
They sell you dreams.
But nothing's ever,
Quite what it seems.
One Trade!
New name!
ARBCORE...
Still the same.
You can paint the walls,
You can change the sign...
Truth catches up,
Every single time.
---
[Verse 2]
Two hundred percent...
That's quite a claim.
No audited proof,
Just another name.
Blockchain trackers,
TXIDs.
Moving the money,
Doesn't prove what you need.
The bots are perfect,
The spreads are wide.
But where's the evidence,
They cannot hide?
Show us the profits.
Show us the trades.
Not another webinar,
Selling another stage.
---
[Verse 3]
Mark's on YouTube,
Selling the dream.
Another opportunity...
Or so it would seem.
I've watched his history,
Year after year.
One launch ends...
Another appears.
Polar Tensor.
BizNet too.
E1ULife...
The list grew.
One Trade today.
Tomorrow who?
The faces stay...
The logos move.
---
[Bridge]
I don't sell hope.
I don't sell fear.
I follow documents.
I follow wallets.
I follow timelines.
Because evidence...
Never needs recruiting.
---

[Final Chorus]
One Trade!
Same lies!
Different logo,
Different disguise.
The paperwork shines,
The promises glow.
But where does the money,
Really go?
One Trade!
Stand and explain!
If the business is real...
You've got nothing to fear.
Because questions...
Should never be the enemy.
Truth...
Can stand inspection.
---
[Outro]
The investigation continues...
One document.
One wallet.
One promoter.
One piece of evidence...
At a time.
