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
Another shiny website, another smiling face,
Another promise telling you you're joining something great.
They say the future's waiting, just trust what they provide,
But every question that you ask gets pushed off to the side.
They call it copy trading, they say the risk is low,
Just follow all the signals and watch your money grow.
They've got the fancy graphics and dashboards shining bright,
But polished presentations don't always make things right.
Pre-Chorus
Before you chase tomorrow...
Ask who's holding all the cards.
Before you send your savings...
Make them show their work.
Chorus
One percent a day...
Sounds too good to be true.
If the money's really growing,
Why can't they prove it to you?
Recruit another friend...
Bring another one aboard.
When the questions start getting harder,
They just promise something more.
Don't gamble with your future...
Don't believe the perfect show.
The truth is worth far more...
Than profits they can't show.
Verse 2
The Zoom room fills with laughter,
The leaders take the stage.
Everybody's getting richer...
At least that's on the page.
Branches keep on opening,
Rewards are handed out.
Phones and trips and bonuses,
Designed to drown the doubt.
The Discord keeps on buzzing,
Withdrawals waiting still.
Support says, "Please be patient,"
While they climb another hill.
Bridge
I've seen this road before...
Different names, same game.
Another polished promise...
Another changing name.
Follow every dollar.
Follow every claim.
Truth don't fear the daylight...
Only lies do that.
Final Chorus
One percent a day...
That's the story that they sell.
But every honest answer...
Should stand up just as well.
Don't let hope replace the facts.
Don't mistake belief for proof.
Ask the questions.
Check the evidence.
Demand the honest truth.
Because fortunes built on promises...
Can disappear overnight.
And by the time you see it...
The dream is out of sight.
Outro
The logos may be different...
The faces may all change...
But the questions stay the same...
Show me the proof...
Before you take...
My money.
