YouTube Termination of “The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger” Channel: A Fight Against Scammers or a Flawed System?

On January 21, 2025, YouTube terminated my channel, “The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger,” citing violations of their sex and nudity policy.

The decision has left me, Danny de Hek, shocked and disappointed, as my channel—with 1,900 videos exposing cryptocurrency-based Ponzi schemes—has been a beacon of public awareness and justice.

What Happened?

YouTube’s message read:

“We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our sex and nudity policy. Because of this, we have removed your channel from YouTube.”

While YouTube allows appeals, previous experiences with their automated systems and opaque policies give me little hope for reinstatement.

Context: The Strikes That Led Here

December 2024 Incident

In December, during an interview with Ryan “Ryzn” Conley discussing WEB3, Conley exposed his hairy bottom on camera. While the exposure was brief and not explicit, technically, it could be considered nudity. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention as I was live-streaming and chose to leave the video online, believing it to be no different from other content commonly seen on YouTube—like half-naked individuals in G-strings. However, YouTube flagged the video and issued a Community Guidelines strike. I appealed the strike, but it was upheld, with an expiration date of February 7.

January 20, 2025 Incident

While live-streaming a Zoom meeting hosted by Megan Lynch—known for promoting scams—my broadcast was infiltrated by “TUGMAN,” an individual who posted explicit content, no doubt intending to force the closure of the Zoom meeting. Due to YouTube’s processing limitations, I couldn’t edit the footage immediately, and it remained viewable for about three or four hours before I set the video to private. The following morning, after YouTube processing, I successfully edited and blurred out all explicit content to comply with YouTube’s policies. Despite these precautions, YouTube issued another strike. Lynch, with her significant online following, publicly urged her supporters to report my channel, an effort that appears to have succeeded in silencing my voice.

A History of Attacks and Challenges

Over the years, my work as “The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger” has faced relentless pushback from scammers, fraudulent actors, and even platforms unwilling to fully address the challenges of tackling crypto-based Ponzi schemes. This resistance has manifested in various forms, from platform bans to coordinated smear campaigns and legal threats.

Subscriber Manipulation and Correspondence with YouTube

My subscriber count on YouTube experienced inexplicable fluctuations, surging from 8,500 to 25,000 within a few days. I contacted YouTube, notifying them of the unusual activity. Shortly after, my subscriber count dropped to 9,750—still about 1,000 more than I had two days earlier. Over the next two to three weeks, the count continued climbing, eventually reaching 28,000.

I suspected these fluctuations were driven by bots deployed by scammers attempting to flag my account as suspicious. Despite my repeated efforts to alert YouTube, no meaningful action was taken to resolve the issue, raising concerns about their automated moderation systems.

Correspondence with YouTube Support

I reached out to YouTube Support multiple times to address these irregularities. Below is an excerpt of the exchanges:

Initial Email to YouTube Support:

YouTube Support, I am following up on my previous ticket regarding unusual activity on my YouTube channel. At one point, my subscriber count increased to 25,000, but it has since been adjusted back to 9,700. However, it is climbing again, and my current subscriber count is now 11,113 (+1,976 in the last 24 hours). Additionally, nine of my videos still appear to have fake views, ranging from 8,000 to 32,000.

I want to reiterate that I have not engaged in any activity to artificially inflate my subscriber count or video views. I appreciate your efforts to investigate this matter and hope the issue will be fully resolved soon.

Response from YouTube Support:

Hi Danny,

I understand your concern about the unusual activity on your YouTube channel. It’s frustrating to see your subscriber count fluctuating and to have to deal with fake views. Please share a screenshot of the data you are reviewing, showing the date range and affected videos.

We take the relationship between creators and subscribers seriously and work hard to ensure subscriber numbers are accurate. To keep the platform fair, our systems analyze traffic to your videos to determine whether it’s valid or invalid. Invalid traffic is filtered out regularly to maintain the integrity of YouTube’s platform.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Best, Adam, Google YouTube Team

Follow-Up Email:

Dear YouTube Support Team,

I’m writing to express my deep frustration and seek urgent assistance with the ongoing issues affecting my YouTube channel. Despite my efforts to communicate with support, I feel caught in a loop of generic responses, with no meaningful resolution.

Subscriber Issues: My subscriber count has exceeded 20,000—a sharp increase from the 8,500 genuine subscribers I worked hard to gain. This growth is clearly the result of fake accounts targeting my channel. Will your system automatically remove these fake accounts and restore my legitimate subscriber count?

Defamation Reports and Video Restrictions: I provided links to three specific cases where scammers reported my videos for defamation. These videos contain no names or identifiable images, yet they’ve been blocked in certain countries based on baseless claims.

I urgently request the following:

• A thorough review of my channel to address the influx of fake subscribers.
• Assistance in restoring blocked videos and reviewing the reports against them.
• Dedicated support from a team member who can provide personalized attention.

This work is incredibly important to me, and I’m fighting scammers who exploit unsuspecting audiences. Without meaningful support from YouTube, my efforts are being undermined.

Sincerely, Danny de Hek

Despite my repeated attempts to escalate these concerns, the responses I received remained formulaic and failed to address the specific issues affecting my channel. YouTube’s reliance on automated systems and lack of personalized support has left me frustrated and questioning their commitment to protecting creators from targeted attacks.

DDoS Attacks

After having my YouTube channel removed, Facebook accounts deactivated, and Zoom accounts terminated, the scammers didn’t stop there—they always find a way to kick you when you’re down.

This isn’t the first time I’ve faced such malicious attempts. Two years ago, a scammer named Stephen Mccullah tried to sue me in the New Zealand High Court for $3.8 million. During that time, my website, dehek.com, came under a series of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks aimed to overwhelm the site’s servers and take it offline, a common tactic used by scammers to silence critics.

Fast forward to today, and the DDoS attacks have returned, now targeting lquidpay.com, a website I created to warn people about WE ARE ALL SATOSHI—a fraudulent scheme founded by Sam Lee and currently run by Shavez Anwar. Bloomberg BusinessWeek recently interviewed Anwar, who made grand claims about his rebranded project, LquidPay (formerly 9Pay). However, Bloomberg’s investigation revealed that Visa, which Anwar claimed to have partnered with, had no association with him or his companies.

Within days of launching lquidpay.com, the site experienced a significant DDoS attack. This attempt to take down the website underscores the desperation of the scammers. Meanwhile, the official LquidPay portal at lquid.finance shows signs of chaos, with broken links, non-functional navigation, and email addresses that bounce back.

On January 1, 2025, another DDoS attack hit lquidpay.com, prompting swift action from my hosting provider. Their engineering team implemented DNS-level mitigations and firewall rules to stabilize the site and ensure it stayed online.

As if that weren’t enough, dehek.com also became a target again, with malicious traffic traced to various countries, including Kazakhstan, Japan, and India. My hosting provider’s team enabled “Under Attack Mode,” blocked the malicious traffic, and monitored the situation closely.

These attacks may be disruptive, but they serve as a badge of honor, proving that exposing scams like WE ARE ALL SATOSHI strikes a nerve. No matter how many denial-of-service attacks they throw at me, the fight to reveal the truth continues.

Podcast Takedowns: A Battle Beyond Scammers

In addition to enduring Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on my websites and relentless attempts by scammers to silence me, I have faced mounting challenges with my podcast host, Buzzsprout. The platform, which I have relied on for over five years to share investigative content about scams and Ponzi schemes, has recently taken actions that call into question its commitment to creators’ rights and freedom of speech.

Timeline of Events: The Removal of My Podcast Episodes

The issues began on January 15, 2025, when I received an email from Buzzsprout notifying me that two episodes—Exposing the Truth: My Experience with Class Action Recovery Services: Legit or Fraudulent? and Rory Conacher & Craig Wotton: Serial Ponzi Promoter Turned Fake Crypto Recovery Leader(s)—were flagged for violating their terms of service. The email claimed the episodes contained “harmful content” and gave me 48 hours to save the content before its removal.

Buzzsprout’s email read:

Hello Danny,
My name is Priscilla, and I am with the Buzzsprout support team. We have had complaints about your podcast, specifically two episodes (listed below). We have reviewed those complaints and the content in question and have concluded that those episodes are in violation of our terms of service.

Exposing the Truth: My Experience with Class Action Recovery Services: Legit or Fraudulent?
Rory Conacher & Craig Wotton: Serial Ponzi Promoter Turned Fake Crypto Recovery Leader(s)

At this point, I will need to delete the episodes that are in violation. I can give you 2 days to save any content from those episodes before they are deleted. Please either remove the episodes or respond to this email before Thursday, January 16th at 3 pm EST. We will need to delete the episodes at that time.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Priscilla
Counting down the days until Spring Training!

In response, I immediately defended the content, emphasizing its basis in investigative journalism and public interest. My reply on the same day included a detailed argument about the importance of transparency and my commitment to defending the accuracy of my work. I also pointed out Buzzsprout’s protection under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields platforms from liability for user-generated content.

Despite my detailed response, Buzzsprout reiterated their decision on January 16, stating:

Hey Danny,
Thank you for your quick response.

We take content complaints and violations very seriously and have decided to remove the two episodes in question. We would hate to see you lose your content, so that is why we have given you 48 hours to save those episodes on your end.

We value your loyalty to Buzzsprout over the last 5 years and would love for you to remain hosted here. But I also understand if you feel that moving to a new host would be preferable to losing these episodes.

Please let me know what you decide and if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Priscilla
Counting down the days until Spring Training!

On January 17, Buzzsprout confirmed the episodes were removed, revealing an unexpected factor:

Danny,
As the deadline has passed, we have removed the two episodes in question from your Buzzsprout account. Just so you know, we also received notice from Spotify about complaints about these episodes.

Please let us know if you need anything in the future.
Thanks,
Priscilla
Counting down the days until Spring Training!

This admission shed light on the underlying reason for their decision. It was not merely about the validity of complaints or adherence to terms of service but rather the influence of a larger player—Spotify. It became clear that Buzzsprout was prioritizing its relationship with Spotify over standing up for freedom of speech and supporting creators like me.

A New Complaint: The Fight Continues

On January 25, 2025, I received another email from Buzzsprout, this time regarding my latest episode, Exposing YouTube’s Flawed Policies: Why “The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger” Was Terminated. Once again, the episode was flagged for “harmful and defamatory content” and slated for removal.

Buzzsprout’s email read:

Good afternoon Danny,
I hope you’re doing well. I am sorry to have to reach out again, but we have had complaints about your most recent episode of THE CRYPTO PONZI SCHEME AVENGER – Exposing YouTube’s Flawed Policies: Why “The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger” Was Terminated.

We will be removing this episode from your account as it contains harmful and defamatory content and is in violation of our terms of service. I don’t want you to lose your work, so I can give you until 3 pm EST on Monday, January 27th, 2025 to save any content from that episode before it is deleted.

As you continue hosting your podcast on Buzzsprout, please be mindful of the content in your episodes and the Buzzsprout Policies so we do not run into future complaints.

If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Priscilla
Counting down the days until Spring Training!

The Real Issue: Conformity Over Integrity

These events underscore a troubling reality: platforms like Buzzsprout are more concerned with maintaining relationships with larger organizations like Spotify than with supporting creators who use their platforms to expose wrongdoing. The complaints about my episodes were merely a trigger—Buzzsprout’s true motivation seemed to be preserving their business partnership rather than defending my rights as a content creator.

It is frustrating and disheartening to see a platform I trusted for years act as a “puppet on a string,” bending to external pressures at the expense of free speech. My work is rooted in factual reporting and has been recognized internationally, yet these efforts are met with resistance not because of inaccuracies but because of corporate politics.

Moving Forward

Despite these challenges, I remain steadfast in my mission to expose scams and protect the public. Every takedown and every attempt to silence me only strengthens my resolve. The fight continues—not just against scammers but against the systemic barriers that hinder transparency and truth.

If platforms like Buzzsprout and Spotify choose conformity over integrity, it is up to independent creators and supporters to find alternative ways to keep the truth alive.

Legal Battles

In 2023, a scammer named Stephen Mccullah, the founder of a cryptocurrency token called LunaOne, filed a $3.8 million defamation lawsuit against me in New Zealand’s High Court. Mccullah had previously run an extensive marketing campaign with YouTube influencers known as the RunwayGuys, promoting a presale of LunaOne tokens at $15 each. The campaign promised that the tokens would launch at $25 each, creating significant hype and encouraging early investments. However, on launch day, the tokens were priced at just $5 each, with Mccullah claiming that professional advice recommended launching at that price. This sudden and drastic devaluation caused early investors to lose significant amounts of money.

Three investors who suffered losses contacted me and shared their experiences in interviews published on my YouTube channel. Following these interviews, I received a cease-and-desist letter from Mccullah, demanding that I remove the videos. Instead, I responded by creating a comprehensive, four-hour, 47-minute, and 19-second video detailing the history of his fraudulent activities. This video prompted Mccullah to escalate his threats and ultimately file the defamation lawsuit against me.

Despite the stress of facing a landmark legal case, my legal team mounted a robust defense, leading to the case being withdrawn mere hours before the hearing. The judge Awarded Me $27,500, which covered 90% of my legal costs, while condemning Mccullah’s tactics. However, the total cost of the case was $33,600, leaving me responsible for the remaining balance. The Judge Ruled that we had spent an excessive amount of time preparing for the case, which influenced the decision not to reimburse all costs.

I was incredibly fortunate to have an outstanding legal team backing me throughout this ordeal. Peter McKnight and Ali Romanos, barristers based in Wellington and experts in media law and defamation, took on my case with remarkable dedication. Normally charging $800 an hour, they agreed to represent me at $200 an hour, demonstrating their shared passion for fighting scammers and protecting public interest. My case also marked a significant milestone as it became the first of its kind to qualify for legal aid in New Zealand, showcasing the importance of access to justice in defending against baseless accusations.

McKnight and Romanos are recognized for their work with authors, publishers, and producers, ensuring safe publishing and broadcasting. They specialize in guiding individuals and businesses through legal and public relations crises, making them uniquely equipped to handle cases like mine. Their expertise and commitment were invaluable, and I cannot overstate my gratitude for their support during this challenging time.

The case drew attention from a New Zealand university as part of a study on Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs). A lecturer plans to present my case to the New Zealand Law Society to advocate for legislative changes that would prevent overseas entities from filing SLAPPs against New Zealand citizens. Such changes could help ensure that legal systems cannot be misused to silence critics and whistleblowers.

While the majority of my legal fees were covered by legal aid, I was still required to pay the remaining balance at $15 per week. Adding to the irony, legal aid later contacted me to ask if I had Mccullah’s address so they could send him a bill for the $27,500 he was ordered to pay. Given that Mccullah is based overseas and has no jurisdiction or accountability in New Zealand, it is unsurprising that he has not paid a cent. To date, I am unsure whether legal aid ever located him to send the bill.

Interestingly, LunaOne has since rebranded itself as Fourth Star. This rebranding raises further questions about the legitimacy of the project and appears to be an attempt to distance itself from its controversial past and the backlash it received from the LunaOne token launch. While the new branding may mislead potential investors, the history of the individuals involved and their deceptive practices cannot be erased.

This legal battle, while financially and emotionally taxing, demonstrated the importance of standing up against baseless accusations and defending the truth. It reaffirmed my commitment to exposing scams and protecting victims, with the incredible support of a legal team dedicated to justice.

Other Social Media Terminations

Facebook

My account was disabled with the following message:

“We’ve disabled your account. We’ve reviewed your account and found that it still doesn’t follow our Community Standards on fraud and deception. You cannot request another review of this decision.”

While I understand Facebook’s decision, it’s ironic given my efforts to expose scams rather than commit fraud. Years ago, I managed to set my account name to “Danny” to maintain anonymity, which may have been flagged as deceptive. I suspect multiple false reports by scammers contributed to the ban.

Zoom

My account was terminated after exposing illegal multi-level marketing (MLM) activities conducted via their platform. Zoom’s official statement read:

“We uncovered behavior on your Zoom accounts that violates our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Guidelines… including sharing private information and disrupting meetings.”

Despite providing evidence of scams, including government documents and victim testimonies, my actions to expose fraud were flagged as breaches of Zoom’s policies. The irony of banning a user combating scams while allowing scam meetings to continue is disheartening.

Coordinated Campaigns to Discredit My Work

A troubling trend has emerged in recent months, as individuals and groups with vested interests in discrediting my work have resorted to creating YouTube channels, fake websites, and unverified content, all aimed at tarnishing my reputation. These platforms propagate misinformation, distribute defamatory material, and undermine the legitimacy of my investigations into cryptocurrency-based Ponzi schemes.

Examples of these efforts include YouTube channels like Danny De Hek Facts, and Dvir Derhy which hosts videos with inflammatory titles such as “The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger: The Biggest Liar, Danny De Hek” and “Danny De Hek Ponzi Scheme: What New York Times Revealed.” Another channel, Mai Summer Vue Exposing Cyberbully, falsely portrays me as a cyberbully while promoting hashtags like #StopDannyDeHek and claiming to advocate for online safety.

On other platforms, SlideShare (e.g., Danny De Hek’s Web of Lies) and MuckRack (Danny De Hek Portfolio) host presentations and articles that spread baseless allegations. A particularly egregious example is the website Danny De Hek – New OneCoin Cryptocurrency Promoter, which falsely claims I am a promoter of OneCoin, a notorious scam I have consistently worked to expose.

These attacks go beyond YouTube and websites, extending to blogs like Dvir Derhy’s WordPress site, which perpetuate narratives that are entirely untrue and unverified. PowerPoint presentations with titles like “Fear-Mongering and Manipulation” and “Crypto False Prophet” are widely circulated, presenting a curated web of falsehoods to undermine my work.

Despite dedicating substantial time to reporting these platforms, the process yields minimal results. Filing complaints with platforms and content hosts has proven to be a time-consuming task, with little action taken against the perpetrators. The persistence of these malicious campaigns highlights the difficulty whistleblowers face when combating coordinated smear tactics in the digital age.

While these efforts may seek to discredit my mission, they only reaffirm the importance of exposing fraud and protecting victims from financial exploitation. I remain steadfast in my commitment to transparency and consumer protection, undeterred by the relentless efforts of those attempting to silence me.

False Claims by Craig Wotton and Rory Conacher

This battlefield often feels like a solo fight, but I believe we are making a difference. These individuals make a living by misleading people, and exposing them remains my mission. By spreading false information, such as claiming credit for my YouTube channel’s termination, they only highlight their lack of credibility and raise even more red flags about their promises to help victims recover lost funds.

Recently, an email has been circulating from individuals, including Craig Wotton and Rory Conacher, claiming credit for my YouTube channel’s removal and promoting a class-action lawsuit to recover scam victims’ funds. However, their operations have been discredited in detailed blogs I have published:

• Exposing the Truth: My Experience with Class Action Recovery Services
• Rory Conacher & Craig Wotton: Serial Ponzi Promoter Turned Fake Crypto Recovery Leader(s)

These false claims further discredit their activities and highlight the red flags surrounding their promises to victims. The email circulating also calls for additional defamation complaints against me, urging others to join their cause, which only underscores their desperation to suppress my efforts.

Trespass Notice and Moira Sutherland KINCAID

Two months ago, two policemen arrived at my door to deliver a trespass notice from Moira Sutherland KINCAID. The notice informed me that I am not allowed on her property. I vehemently deny ever being there. In one of my videos, I mentioned knowing her address, as I’ve been transparent about exposing the identities of scammers. KINCAID is heavily involved with “We Are All Satoshi,” a Ponzi scheme associated with Sam Lee, who has been charged in connection to the $1.9 billion Hyperverse scam. KINCAID frequently appears in Australian and New Zealand Zoom meetings promoting this flagged scheme, which has been denounced by regulatory bodies like the State of California (DFPI), New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority (FMA), Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) and MoneySmart in Australia.

Additionally, I have evidence of KINCAID actively encouraging people in Christchurch to get involved in crypto investments, which I can only imagine were likely connected to “We Are All Satoshi.” This further demonstrates her role in promoting fraudulent schemes and reinforces the need for regulatory intervention.

Ironically, KINCAID is a former police officer, reportedly working in a police call center. When I suggested authorities investigate her activities, the response was dismissive, claiming they did not want to get involved. This lack of action is as baffling as it is concerning, especially given the scale of the fraud being promoted.

Physical and Mental Challenges: The Hidden Toll of Exposing Scams

Two months before my YouTube channel was terminated, I visited my doctor after experiencing persistent dizziness for weeks. Standing up felt like I might faint, as though I was slightly intoxicated. I initially thought it would pass, but it didn’t. After several tests and consultations over three days, the doctor told me I was physically fine and that stress was likely the culprit. To this day, these dizzy spells persist. Reflecting on the endless late nights and early mornings spent working on YouTube lives, sometimes going to bed at 2 or 3 a.m. and waking up at 6 a.m. to start again, it’s clear my body was sounding an alarm. Now, I try to let myself wake up naturally, but I remain consumed by thoughts of financial pressures, my future, and the fear of missing critical moments in this fight. Despite the challenges, I know the work I’m doing matters—I truly believe I’m making a difference.

The physical toll is compounded by the emotional weight of the stories I hear daily. People reach out to me, desperate for help recovering funds lost to scams. Many are ashamed, embarrassed, and overwhelmed. Early in my journey, after being featured in The New York Times, an organization contacted me and shared a sobering statistic: one scam they tracked had led to the suicides of 11 people. That revelation has stuck with me, shaping every conversation I have. When I speak with victims, I ask the hard questions: Are you thinking about ending your life?

One story that stands out is of a man who borrowed $375,000 USD from his family, hoping to grow it through crypto trading. He managed to turn that money into $5 million NZD and initially cashed it out, but as the cryptocurrency market climbed, he couldn’t resist reinvesting. When the market crashed, he was left with approximately $1.5 million NZD—a significant sum by most standards, but far from what he needed. On top of that, he faced a substantial tax bill, and the original $375,000 was not his—it belonged to his family, who had pinned their hopes on immigrating to New Zealand, a goal that required $5 million. Not only had he lost the bulk of the money, but he had also shattered his family’s dream.

This man, part of a social club I used to run that helped combat loneliness, confided in me face-to-face. His story was devastating. He rarely left his bedroom, entirely consumed by the highs and lows of trying to make money online. Hearing his story reconfirmed just how volatile and dangerous the crypto market can be, not only financially but also emotionally.

Scams and financial losses don’t just steal money—they destroy lives, relationships, and hope. I’ve witnessed the damage caused when victims recruit friends and family into Ponzi schemes. These scams, often lasting just a few months, collapse and leave a wake of broken relationships, isolation, and mistrust. Loneliness becomes the silent killer, as people are gaslit and brainwashed into chasing unattainable passive income. They lose their sense of reality, and when the house of cards falls, they’re left to pick up the pieces alone. The psychological impact of scams goes far beyond financial loss—it’s a ripple effect that devastates entire communities. This is why I keep going, despite the toll it takes.

The Broader Implications

My YouTube channel’s termination represents more than personal loss. It’s a blow to the fight against cryptocurrency scams that have defrauded countless individuals. My team of “Avengers” has:

• Exposed scams like Hyperverse, “We Are All Satoshi,” and Trage Technology.
• Built a database shared with law enforcement across six countries.
• Disrupted Zoom meetings promoting illegal activities, such as “Boomerang” and “9Pay.”
• Investigated 114 Ponzi schemes and scams currently operating.
• Compiled 394 profiles of individuals promoting these schemes.
• Tracked 70 Australians actively using Instagram posts to generate leads for these scams.

Public Support and Media Coverage

My efforts have received significant media attention over the years, including features in:

• The New York Times, which highlighted my journey from a small-scale YouTuber to a leading voice in exposing crypto-based Ponzi schemes.
• Bloomberg Businessweek, which interviewed me for a short documentary expected to be released in January 2025.
• ABC Australia, which published an in-depth article about Sam Lee, quoting me extensively and using my videos in a documentary-style exposé of his activities.
• The Guardian, which featured me in a series of 14 articles about Hyperverse, underscoring my expertise and dedication to exposing fraudulent schemes.

Reflections and Gratitude

I acknowledge that my actions, as a vigilante fighting scams, have occasionally breached the terms and conditions of various platforms. However, my sole purpose has been to expose scammers and protect victims. I work closely with law enforcement agencies and global crime-fighting networks, who use my videos and the database I’ve built to investigate these fraudulent activities.

Support my work by buying me a virtual coffee on BuyMeACoffee at buymeacoffee.com/dehek. Your contribution fuels my creativity and inspires me to produce great content. Thank you for your generosity.

The journey of exposing scams has been emotionally and mentally taxing. Despite threats, lawsuits, and de-platforming, I remain committed to justice. However, I question the sustainability of continuing this fight under current conditions.

To my supporters: your encouragement has been invaluable. Whether or not YouTube reinstates my channel, I will explore alternative platforms and strategies to continue exposing scammers.

Conclusion

The termination of “The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger” reflects systemic flaws in how platforms handle reports and appeals. While scammers exploit these weaknesses, genuine efforts to combat fraud are stifled. I urge YouTube and other tech giants to enhance transparency and collaboration with individuals dedicated to public good.

For now, the fight continues—on different platforms, through new strategies, and with unwavering resolve.
