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.

Jan Gregory: Show Me The Proof
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
[Intro]
Yeah...
Another AI...
Another promise...
Another dashboard...
But where's the proof?
[Verse 1]
Brand new website, fresh paint on the wall
Talkin' hedge fund moves but the paperwork's small
Telegram bot say "trust the machine"
Whole thing polished but I'm lookin' in between
Hong Kong address with a hundred more names
Virtual office playin' corporate games
Dashboard flashin' numbers every minute
Question is...
Can anybody verify what's in it?
Twenty AI agents?
Maybe that's true.
Show me the trades—
Don't just tell me they do.
Four percent...
Twenty percent...
Monthly they claim...
I've seen this movie...
Just a different name.
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody yellin'
"Passive income!"
Everybody sayin'
"This the new one!"
History whispers...
I've heard that song.
Truth don't care
If the hype sounds strong.
[Chorus]
Show me the proof...
Show me the books...
Not another website
With professional looks.
Show me the wallets...
Show me the trades...
Not just another promise
Wrapped in AI claims.
Everybody flex...
Everybody preach...
Truth ain't measured
By the speeches you teach.
If it's real—
Then let the evidence talk.
Until then...
I'm just followin' the walk.
[Verse 2]
Bradley Peak—
Public face on the stage.
Cambridge graduate
Turn another page.
Resume say one thing...
Website say more...
That's the kinda detail
Investigators explore.
Read every contract...
Every legal line...
Withdrawal anytime?
Well...
Depends on the fine print.
Platform discretion...
Internal review...
Funny how the marketing
Don't mention that to you.
"No KYC"
Printed in bold...
Then later in the Terms
They can freeze what you hold.
That's why
I don't stop
At the homepage design...
I keep reading
Every single line.
[Bridge]
Questions...
Questions...
Still no reply.
Support email bounced
When I asked them why.
Right of reply—
Door stayed open wide.
Nobody answered
From the other side.
[Verse 3]
Then Jan walks in
Like he's back again.
Different platform...
Same old trend.
CoinMarketBull...
BitHarvest too...
CloudFi...
Vortic...
Name a few.
Every cycle
Starts the same.
Fresh new logo...
Fresh new name.
AI...
Trading...
Daily pay...
Seen that script
A hundred ways.
Not sayin'
History repeats...
But history sure
Likes recycling beats.
[Final Chorus]
Show me the proof...
Not just the hype...
Anybody can build
A beautiful site.
Show me audits...
Independent eyes...
Not internal numbers
Or polished replies.
You want trust?
Then earn it first.
Facts before feelings.
Evidence first.
Money don't care
How smooth you sound...
Truth always surfaces...
When you dig underground.
[Outro]
This ain't hate.
This ain't fear.
This is due diligence...
Crystal clear.
One question...
Before a single dollar moves...
If it's everything you claim...
Why not simply...
Show us...
