DANNY DE HEKMy name is Danny de Hek, aka The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger. I’m on a mission to name and shame anyone running or promoting Ponzi schemes and scams.

Through my YouTube channel and online investigations, I work to protect everyday people—mum and dad investors—from losing their life savings to smooth-talking grifters in the world of multilevel marketing.

I know what it’s like to be sucked into a false reality. I was brought up in a religious cult that promised paradise but delivered control and heartbreak. Two people in my immediate family died by suicide. That’s my why.

That same cult-like illusion is now being spun through crypto scams. One of the most recent examples is “We Are All Satoshi” — a slick-talking, NFT-wrapped, affiliate-loaded, rebranded Ponzi scheme wrapped in digital utopian promises.

But today’s story isn’t about me. It’s about a man named Richard Rudecki.

Meet Richard: The Truck Driver Who Thought Crypto Could Do Good

Richard is an ordinary man with an extraordinary heart. A U.S.-based truck driver, father, and someone who genuinely wanted to use cryptocurrency to help people. When he first came across “We Are All Satoshi,” the pitch sounded like a dream: plug in a miner, sit back, and earn for 140 years. The technology, the terminology, the cult-like Zoom meetings – all of it gave the illusion of legitimacy. Richard was drawn in by the dream of using crypto to fund his charity work in Africa.

Like many victims, Richard had no prior experience with crypto. This was his first venture. He trusted what he heard in Zoom calls. He liked the idea of being part of something global and meaningful. But the deeper he got, the more he began to see the cracks.

Then came the moment of clarity.

The Turning Point

Richard reached out to me after watching one of my videos. At first, he resisted. Like many, he thought I was just another FUD creator out to kill the vibe. But curiosity turned to concern when he realized the so-called minor wasn’t doing what it promised. People were struggling to connect. Support was nonexistent. The story changed daily. And suddenly, those behind-the-scenes promises started looking a lot more like red flags.

He saw firsthand how new recruits were being spoon-fed information and emotionally manipulated on Zoom. The product—a crypto miner—wasn’t even functioning without constant hand-holding. No real tech support. No real transparency. Just endless upsells and urgency.

When Richard began asking questions, he didn’t get answers. He got stonewalled.

The Realization: A Lie Wrapped in Hype

From talk of miners lasting 140 years to claims of $260 million advertising budgets, nothing added up. Wallet balances didn’t match user numbers. Miners needed BFuel to operate, and BFuel had to be bought with real USDT—an undisclosed cost that came long after initial onboarding.

And let’s not forget the math: 70,000 supposed members, $4.2 million in the Vault Horizon, which implies a mere $60 per user. Yet they were promising outrageous ROI and rapid duplication. Richard saw through it. “How can you sell a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t suck?” he asked. Exactly.

The Emotional Cost

Richard talked openly about the emotional rollercoaster of realizing he’d been conned. He spoke about the shame, the anger, and the conversations he had with others in the group who were waking up too. The heartbreak of thinking you’re part of something world-changing, only to realize you’re fueling a scam.

He didn’t just lose money. He lost trust. But unlike many, Richard chose to speak up.

The Bigger Picture: Recycled Scams

We Are All Satoshi is not unique. It’s a rebranded continuation of previous Ponzi schemes—HyperTech, HyperCapital, HyperFund, HyperVerse, HyperNation, and now, We Global. All of them hide behind new logos, new faces, and fresh hype.

The real criminals are often anonymous. They hide in Dubai, Thailand, Cambodia—some even connected to human trafficking compounds. These aren’t one-off scammers. They’re part of organized crime networks. And every time someone speaks out, like Richard, we get one step closer to stopping them.

Red Flags to Watch For:

  • Crypto-only investments requiring USDT or Bitcoin
  • Referral commissions for bringing in new investors
  • Complicated bonus structures that make no real-world sense
  • Tech promises without tech support
  • Fake leaders with no verifiable background
  • Emotional manipulation using charities, religion, or utopian promises

Final Thoughts: Why Richard Matters

Richard is a hero in my book. Not because he’s perfect or never got duped, but because he saw the con and had the courage to speak up. Most people hide in shame. He came forward. On camera. With the goal of helping others avoid the same trap.

His story is your story. Your brother’s story. Your mum and dad’s story. This is how we fight back—not with weapons, but with truth.

Richard, keep on trucking. We see you. And we thank you.
