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.

We're actually recording now. So welcome along Rob Woolley all the way from New Zealand, New Zealand, New Zealand. Excellent. Well, welcome along and thank you for coming along and I had the privilege of asking you 12 questions there. For those listeners who don't know what we're doing with our 12 questions. They are totally random. I actually have 107 questions, and we shuffle the pack. And then I ask them, so it keeps it in promptitude. So, Rob, how many languages do you speak? Question number one.
Rob Woolley 0:35
One, and I struggle with that.
Danny de Hek 0:37
I think you're a public speaker trainer and I believe that you speak two languages.
Rob Woolley 0:43
What is the other one Danny?
Danny de Hek 0:45
Body language?
Rob Woolley 0:47
Oh body language? I do try. I do try. I'm not too sure what it communicates half of the time, but I do try.
Danny de Hek 0:54
Brilliant. So they do speak two languages we ever get asked that question again on a podcast, you'll know how to answer it professionally. What's the most daring thing you have ever done?
Rob Woolley 1:05
Woah, I could read off 100 daring, things I haven't done, I'm not a very daring person actually, there we know how to take a once and the most extravagant food I had was wild pork sandwich.
Danny de Hek 1:21
Pork!
Rob Woolley 1:24
That was extravagant.
Danny de Hek 1:27
That was the Hokitika Wildfoods Festival was it?
Rob Woolley 1:29
I had wild pork, I had to force myself to eat that.
Danny de Hek 1:35
You didn't try snails or anything unusual? Because that is the point of it.
Rob Woolley 1:40
Well, you say like all these are kind of like live living things that you know had a life.
Whereas when you eat other forms of meat and animal products, you don't really think of them as being animals to you.
Danny de Hek 1:53
You know, I'm a vegan don't you.
