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.

Thank you very much very kind. So we thought worth locked down in COVID-19, we thought it'd be a good idea to get more sort of out there. So we decided that a podcast would be good. And so I said, Alan, let's do a podcast. And then we started researching how to do a podcast had a good podcast, and it's quite complicated. So we went for a walk everyday, we've been trying to do a 60 minute walk at the moment, which has been pretty good unless, unless you Hey, let's do let's do a podcast on business networking. And then we thought, well, we built a good template together. So the time we got back from our walk, we actually had a more of an outline sketch on how to what we thought would be ways to do a good podcast. And then we decided, Well, why don't we just do a podcast on how to start a podcast for other people who might thinking about doing a podcast?
