Welcome to the official website of DANNY DE HEK, proudly known as “THE CRYPTO PONZI SCHEME AVENGER”—a name given to me by The New York Times and earned through battle.
I’m a YouTuber, investigative journalist, podcaster, and digital watchdog exposing the underworld of Ponzi schemes, fake gurus, and MLM fraudsters. I’ve been thriving online since 1994—long before it was trendy. I didn’t come from academia, but I’ve turned DYSLEXIA into a strength and made it my mission to outsmart con artists using the very tools they abuse.
My work has been featured in BLOOMBERG, THE NEW YORK TIMES, and other major media, spotlighting my efforts to hold criminals accountable and protect everyday people.
As a journalist protected by PROJECT SHIELD, I stand on the frontline of free speech—fighting digital deception and defending vulnerable voices. Project Shield safeguards news, human rights, and marginalized groups from DDoS attacks, allowing people like me to keep the lights on in dark places.
Most people know me from YouTube, where I crash scam Zoom meetings, expose frauds in real-time, and livestream the chaos. I don’t just talk about scams—I infiltrate them. From hate mail to lawsuits, I’ve seen it all, and I wear every threat like a badge of honour.
I’ve never invested in a Ponzi scheme—but I’ve made it my job to fight for those who have. Alongside my team of Avengers, I collect whistleblower intel, build scammer databases, and send everything to regulators and law enforcement. We investigate what governments often ignore.
I also build dropshipping e-commerce stores for people seeking legit PASSIVE INCOME, providing alternatives to the fake promises peddled by scammers.
Check out my BLOG for travel guides across NEW ZEALAND, packed with road-trip-ready ITINERARIES. Tune into my PODCAST for interviews and explosive behind-the-scenes moments from my YOUTUBE INVESTIGATIONS.
I’m available for SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, where I share my story as a cult survivor, dyslexia advocate, and relentless scam fighter—bringing truth, courage, and a little chaos to every stage.
Let’s connect—book an appointment, join the TELEGRAM or WHATSAPP Group, and be part of a global community committed to exposing fraud. If you have a tip, image, Zoom link, or video of a scam in action, send it via my CONTACT page. Together, we’re taking down the scamdemic.
