Frank Reiher: From Wellness Coach to Crypto Shill – The Double Life of a German MLM Promoter

danny what’s wrong with you? why are you making videos about me, stalking me and publicly denouncing me?

Danny, i noticed that your article about me was written based on very superficial research and creates the false impression that we are crypto scammers.

I actually appreciate the work you do and understand that real investigative journalism is important.

But this article needs to be deleted immediately. We expect to be left alone afterwards.

If you truly have solid, verifiable evidence of fraud – bring it forward. We’re the last people who would ignore something like that. We are personally part of the projects we talk about and don’t get paid by any of them.

We’re doing this with good intentions and would never promote something we wouldn’t use ourselves.

I believe you’re someone who stands for truth and justice – maybe even sees himself a bit like part of the Avengers team. So act accordingly.

Until you bring proof, your article is nothing more than defamation and speculation.

Please delete it.

Best regards,

Frank

Dear Frank,

Thank you for your message and for taking the time to respond.

First and foremost, I take no personal pleasure in publishing material that casts someone in a negative light. I also appreciate your acknowledgment that investigative journalism is important. But it must be said: what I’ve published is not speculation. It’s based on public-facing materials—*your own videos, websites, promotional funnels, and repeated endorsements of high-risk, unregulated crypto schemes*.

Let’s be absolutely clear:

•⁠ ⁠You are not being stalked. You are a public figure, running a *public YouTube channel*, maintaining two websites, and leading a Meetup group designed to funnel people into crypto investments.

•⁠ ⁠The article does not claim you created any of these platforms. It documents your promotion of platforms that show multiple Ponzi-style red flags—*BitHarvest, DAO1, Axiome, MiningRace, FLOW, AkashX*, and others.

•⁠ ⁠Saying you are “personally involved” but “not getting paid” raises more questions than it answers. The use of affiliate links, referral codes, and platform-branded funnels suggests otherwise.

You’ve asked me to bring verifiable evidence of fraud. Fair enough. Here’s what has already been documented:

•⁠ ⁠*Your videos promote projects that promise fixed or daily returns, feature referral commissions, and operate without transparency, licensing, or independent audits.*

•⁠ ⁠*Many of these projects share overlap with previously collapsed Ponzi schemes or exhibit classic MLM fraud structures.*

•⁠ ⁠*Your disclaimers do not shield you from ethical responsibility when your content is directly influencing financial decisions.*

I appreciate that you believe in what you’re doing—but intention does not cancel impact. Promoting unlicensed financial products to unsophisticated investors under the banner of “freedom” and “mindset” is a well-worn tactic used by many before you.

I will not be removing the article. However, I remain open to publishing a formal statement from you, and you are welcome to provide *specific, verifiable evidence* that the platforms you promote are:

1.⁠ ⁠Licensed and legally registered to offer financial products;

2.⁠ ⁠Generating sustainable revenue outside of recruitment;

3.⁠ ⁠Not rewarding you in any form (tokens, tiers, perks, cash, etc.);

4.⁠ ⁠Backed by audited operations or third-party due diligence.

If you can provide that information, I will publish it—transparently and without edit—as your right of reply. But until then, calling it “defamation” does not change the facts.

I stand for truth. That’s why I published what I did.

Best regards,

Danny de Hek

Danny, u reached out to me, supposedly asking for help with purchasing a miner – related to Bit Harvest. But your request was clearly just a cover to gather information and push your own agenda.

Even more absurd is your role as a self-proclaimed ‘Avenger’. You once allowed yourself to be used in OneCoin – an obvious scam that defrauded thousands of people. How many of them lost their money because of your involvement? And now you present yourself as someone criticizing others who genuinely act with integrity, embodying values like morality, transparency, and growth?

I’m not playing your game. No discussion. No Zoom. No stage for your agenda. You don’t exist for me – and you should keep it that way.

Because sometimes, a story can spiral into an unhealthy direction faster than you think. And health – both physical and moral – is the ultimate value.

Let it go.

Frank, let’s be real. You didn’t know who I was until you searched the internet — that’s how you found those false claims trying to link me to OneCoin. For the record, I have never joined OneCoin or promoted any Ponzi scheme. What you’re referencing are smear campaigns created by people I’ve exposed. In fact, when the first article appeared, Jan Gregory commented on it within 30 minutes — which strongly suggests he was behind it. That’s not investigative work, that’s retaliation.

You clearly went digging through royalty-free footage trying to paint me as a criminal. It’s ironic, really — you’re promoting BitHarvest while struggling to identify genuine content. That speaks volumes.

Let’s talk about BitHarvest. I contacted you because your WhatsApp number was linked in the description of a YouTube video promoting BitHarvest:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDd_XDehPVU

The link you used was hidden behind this redirect:

https://tinyurl.com/Fraenck

At the time, I didn’t know who ran the channel — I contacted you as part of an investigation, not because I was interested in investing. That’s standard practice. I’ve been doing this for over four years and have published more than 2,000 videos exposing crypto Ponzi schemes and MLM scams.

You say I haven’t presented proof? Here’s the official cease and desist order issued against BitHarvest Ltd by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation:

https://dfpi.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/337/2024/08/D-R-BitHarvest-Ltd.pdf

You didn’t refute it. You just ignored it. That’s not transparency — it’s evasion.

Let’s also be clear — when I publish my findings, they won’t be limited to a single platform. The video will stream live to seven platforms, the podcast version will go to 18 directories, and the blog has already been published across six major outlets. Your name will be tied to Ponzi schemes for years to come — not because I said so, but because of the public trail of your own content.

If you want to know who I really am, stop listening to smear pieces and watch this:

Or read this:

https://www.dehek.com/general/whistleblowers/youtube-termination-of-the-crypto-ponzi-scheme-avenger-channel-a-fight-against-scammers-or-a-flawed-system/

And if you’re wondering who’s helping collect the information — I’m not alone. I work with a team. We investigate, we document, and we hold people accountable. You had an opportunity to provide a statement. Instead, you deleted your replies and tried to flip the narrative.

Also, here are the fake channels spreading misinformation about me — likely run by the very people I expose:

https://www.youtube.com/@dvirderhy4985

https://www.youtube.com/@WhatDeHek1

So before you point fingers at me, take a good look at the platforms you’re pushing — and the people you’re protecting. My advice? Delete your channels, take down your marketing, and step away from the schemes before the authorities and the press get involved.

You’re not the victim here. And if you need someone to blame, I suggest starting with the person in the mirror.

Hey Danny,

Sometimes I wonder how empty a life must be if you spend your days defaming other people rather than building something yourself.

You fall into the same trap as everyone who has nothing to offer: instead of being a lighthouse, you try to drag others into darkness.

And while you wag that moral finger, know this: people with real backbone aren’t intimidated by small internet sheriffs like you.

The fact is:

Your past casts a long shadow—and anyone who was once part of dubious networks might want to be a bit quieter when preaching morality to others.

(And no, your justifications don’t change that.)

Today you tried to lure me into a Zoom call.

Sorry, Danny—I don’t waste my time with people who are hunting drama instead of searching for solutions.

But you should know:

Everything you publish will be meticulously documented.

And when the time comes, you won’t be able to hide behind your so‑called “exposés.”

One final tip:

Instead of hunting weeds in other people’s gardens, maybe start tidying up your own field.

Because those who throw dirt usually end up standing in it themselves.

Good luck on your journey—you’re going to need it.

Frank,

You’ve now sent multiple messages filled with projection, insults, and half-baked moral analogies. Still no evidence, no accountability, and not once have you addressed the real issue: you are publicly promoting unregulated, high-risk financial platforms that show all the characteristics of Ponzi schemes. That’s not opinion — it’s documented fact.

You accuse me of having “nothing to offer,” while you offer what? BitHarvest? DAO1? Axiome? FLOW? All of them wrapped in motivational fluff and crypto hype, with no licensing, no audits, and no regulation. That’s not empowerment — it’s manipulation.

You claim I tried to “lure” you into a Zoom call. No, Frank. I offered you the chance to clarify your role. It was your opportunity to explain why you’re directing people into schemes like BitHarvest — a platform that has now received an official cease and desist order from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. You chose not to address that. Why?

You speak of “documenting everything” and make vague threats about shadows and dirt. I encourage you to document everything. Please do. Because unlike you, I don’t hide behind wellness language, vague disclaimers, or fake crypto empowerment. I stand behind everything I say, and I publish everything transparently — with sources, facts, and evidence.

You say I should focus on my own field. I do — and my field is exposing people exactly like you. People who build trust under the guise of coaching, only to funnel others into schemes that leave them broke while you cash out commissions.

Let me remind you:

I didn’t come to you. Your public activity is what triggered my investigation.

I gave you a fair chance to respond. You chose insults and bravado.

The authorities will care far more about your promotions than your metaphors.

You’re worried — and you should be. Because this isn’t going away. This isn’t about ego, drama, or dirt. This is about protecting people from financial harm — the kind that gets glossed over with smiling thumbnails and affiliate funnels.

So go ahead and watch me, document me, quote me — but do it knowing this:

The people I help thank me. The people you’ve recruited? They’ll remember you.

Frank,

Following our previous exchange, I want to make it absolutely clear that we are now escalating this matter.

We will be notifying German regulatory authorities, including BaFin, local consumer protection agencies, and European financial oversight bodies. In addition, we are compiling all relevant evidence — including video footage, promotional materials, and archived content — for submission to media outlets both within Germany and internationally.

This is not a threat. This is part of our documented process when we identify public figures promoting unlicensed, high-risk financial schemes under the guise of coaching, wellness, or digital empowerment.

You’ve made it clear you’re not interested in dialogue or accountability, and that’s your choice. But we will not ignore the harm being done to investors who are misled into these platforms through your content and your influence.

Our goal is public awareness and regulatory attention — not private back-and-forth. From this point forward, the evidence speaks for itself.
