Hours before Goliath Ventures Inc’s big Miami dinner, the company’s inner circle shifted from hype to panic. Instead of confidence, we suddenly saw a loyalty sermon from Tomo Marjanovic, wrapped in the new hashtag #GoliathStrong, urging his “brothers” not to walk away. It was clear something inside the organisation had fractured, and this message was attempting to hold together what was already slipping apart.THE MESSAGE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHINGI woke up to Tomo’s post and immediately recognised the tone. It wasn’t motivation. It wasn’t leadership. It was a man trying to keep an organisation from falling apart on the eve of its most important public appearance. When someone in his position starts warning people not to “disappear when things get difficult,” it means people already are. The façade was cracking, and the timing was too precise to ignore.THE SCAM BEGINSGoliath Ventures built itself on the illusion of strength — the events, the dinners, the staged luxury. But real strength doesn’t need constant reminders. Real companies don’t need hashtags to reassure their own members. As the cracks widened, the language changed. Business updates were replaced with emotional rhetoric. The organisation stopped talking about growth and started talking about brotherhood, loyalty, and codes that must be honoured. That’s when I knew this wasn’t a message aimed at the public. It was aimed at insiders preparing to step away.THE MIAMI DINNER UNRAVELSThe Miami Casino Royale dinner had been marketed for months as a show of power. But as the date approached, people began backing out. Quietly. Nervously. Some told friends they didn’t want to be photographed with a company now covered in red flags. Others had already been speaking to investigators. Some simply sensed the end coming. And instead of reassuring them, the leadership tried to guilt them into turning up. Tomo’s message was a pressure valve — a last attempt to plug the holes before the ship rolled over.THE LIEUTENANT STEPS FORWARDIn a legitimate company, the founder would be the one addressing the concerns. But Christopher Delgado vanished from the conversation, leaving Tomo to do the emotional heavy lifting. That’s what collapsing organisations do: the founder retreats, and a lieutenant steps forward to manage the fear. Tomo’s role shifted from “Director of Partner Services” to spiritual enforcer almost overnight. And once he stepped into that role, the language became unmistakably desperate.THE CODE OF SILENCEThe idea of a “code” is not part of any compliant financial structure. It is part of a control mechanism — something used to keep people from asking questions at the exact moment they should be asking the most. When Tomo said the code must be honoured “even when it’s inconvenient,” he revealed how serious the internal doubt had become. This wasn’t about ethics. It was about survival. And he was begging supporters to ignore their instincts, ignore the evidence, and ignore the growing whispers.BROTHERHOOD AS A WEAPONThe message wasn’t simply about unity. It was about preventing defection. Every line was aimed at those considering walking away: the promoters who had stopped recruiting, the team members who no longer wanted to attend the dinner, the insiders who had seen enough to question everything. By redefining loyalty as honour, and doubt as betrayal, the organisation tried to shame people into silence. But messages like this only appear when collapse is close.Buy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee. If you like my work, you can buy me a coffee and share your thoughts.Support the show

On 18 November 2025, I watched Andrew Tate’s Hyperliquid balance collapse in real time. Months of reckless, high-leverage trading came to a brutal end as his account dropped to just $984. More than $727,000 of his own money and around $75,000 in referral bonuses had been wiped out with no withdrawals ever recorded.Four days earlier, GOLIATH VENTURES INC — a “quant fund” promoted across the same influencer ecosystem — suddenly froze payouts and claimed a “forensic audit” had begun. Their 14 November distribution never arrived. No transparency, no timeline, just familiar excuses.The timing alone doesn’t prove a direct connection. But when two collapses unfold within days of each other inside the same circle of influencers, people start asking questions.THE ON-CHAIN COLLAPSEBefore that final liquidation, Tate had already racked up an astonishing list of losses: a $597,000 ETH long in June, a $67,500 WLFI wipeout in September, a $93,000 BTC liquidation shortly after, a $235,000 BTC loss on 14 November, and then the $112,000 final blow that drained his account entirely.Across more than 80 trades, his win rate sat around 35%.Behind the motivational speeches and alpha branding, the blockchain told a very different story.THE GOLIATH FREEZEWhile Tate’s losses were playing out on-chain, GOLIATH VENTURES INC was telling investors everything was “healthy” — even as they locked the doors.Less than 1% of their claimed trading activity ever touched a blockchain.Their audit firm remains unnamed.Whistleblowers reported insiders withdrawing millions just before the freeze.That behaviour does not belong to a legitimate trading operation. It matches the collapse pattern of every modern Ponzi I’ve investigated.THE SHARED ECOSYSTEMGoliath’s leadership has repeatedly appeared within Andrew Tate’s wider influencer network. They’ve praised him, networked with him, replicated his “brotherhood” aesthetic, and even surfaced in his promotional yacht videos — though their faces are blurred across their own website.Tate’s “War Room” sells itself as a global network of elite men operating behind the scenes.Goliath sells itself as a private, high-yield investment circle.The language is similar.The secrecy is similar.The imagery is nearly identical.None of this proves their money flowed together, but it proves they move through the same influencer machinery — and that matters.WHAT WE CAN PROVETate lost roughly $802,000 on Hyperliquid with no withdrawals.GOLIATH VENTURES INC froze payouts and refuses to provide evidence of actual trading.Less than 1% of their claimed activity appears on a blockchain.Their leadership occupies the same social and promotional orbit as Tate’s network.Those are facts.WHAT REMAINS THEORYThere is no confirmed evidence that Goliath investor funds were placed into leveraged trades.There is no proof that Tate’s liquidation directly triggered the freeze.There is no documented formal partnership between the two operations.But the behaviour, secrecy, timing, and shared ecosystem tell a story worth following.When luxury yachts, blurred identities, whispered networks, and promises of effortless returns collide, the ending is rarely surprising.I’ve watched this pattern unfold too many times to pretend otherwise.READ THE FULL INVESTIGATION:https://www.dehek.com/general/scam-fraud-investigations/andrew-tates-hyperliquid-wipeout-and-why-goliath-ventures-investors-should-pay-attentBuy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

This is the story of what happened in the hours, days, and moments leading up to the collapse of one of the largest alleged Ponzi schemes in America.THE FIRST SIGNS OF TROUBLEThe earliest warning came quietly. Investors expecting their November 14th payouts woke to an unexpected message from Goliath Ventures Inc. The company claimed that distributions were being delayed due to a “forensic audit,” a phrase familiar to anyone who has watched a Ponzi scheme run out of road.At first glance, the announcement was dressed up as a professional update. But the tone was wrong. Too cheerful. Too rehearsed. Too polished for a situation where millions of dollars had suddenly stopped flowing.It didn’t take long for people to realise this wasn’t just a delay. It was the beginning of the end.THE INSIDERS GET THEIR MONEY OUTAs ordinary investors waited, confused and anxious, information began to surface that key insiders had been pulling out staggering amounts of money—tens of millions—just days earlier. Names like Nick Petrillo, Tomo Marjanovic, Punit Shah, and Jayson Newton continued popping up. Their romantic partners and family members reportedly cashed out while payouts to everyone else were frozen.The most blatant example involved Stacie Shenkman, widely known to be close to insider Nick Petrillo. While investors begged for withdrawals, she and several others connected to Goliath’s leadership allegedly walked away with large sums.This pattern is classic Ponzi behaviour: insiders escape with whatever remains while the average investor is told to “stay patient.”THE AUDIT WITH NO NAMEGoliath Ventures told its investors that a “leading Forensic Certified Public Accountant firm” had been engaged. What they didn’t say was more revealing: no firm name, no license number, no engagement letter, no confirmation from the alleged auditor.Real audits—especially during crisis—are always transparent.Here, everything was concealed.Even individuals with more than $10 million invested were denied basic information. And when the company invoked the name of Joel Glick from Berkowitz Pollack Brant Advisors + CPAs, they offered no proof that an engagement even existed.An audit without a name is not an audit.It’s a stall tactic.THE AGENCIES NOW INVOLVEDInvestors are now being urged to contact the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and the RCMP in Canada. The United States Secret Service has a dedicated contact point for crypto-related fraud:cryptofraud@usss.dhs.govVictims are also encouraged to file formal complaints through the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.Time matters now. Assets dissipate quickly once insiders start scrambling.THE FINAL CHAPTER BEGINSOnce the payouts stopped, the façade collapsed.Goliath Ventures no longer looks like a company undergoing an audit.It looks like a Ponzi scheme in freefall.The tone of their communication has grown increasingly desperate. The promises are empty. The reassurances are hollow. And the insiders—those closest to Delgado—have already secured their exits.For everyone else, the fight to recover funds begins now.READ THE FULL INVESTIGATION:https://www.dehek.com/general/scam-fraud-investigations/goliath-ventures-payouts-stop-insiders-pull-10s-of-millions-while-everyone-else-waits/SUPPORT MY WORK:- Support The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger: https://ko-fi.com/dehekTAGS:#GoliathVentures, #PonziScheme, #InvestmentFrBuy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

The first real sign of trouble came when investors began messaging me to say their payouts due on the 14th had not arrived. There were no advance warnings, no delays announced, and no meaningful explanations. Instead, a single excuse began to circulate among investors: the payouts were being blocked because of an “audit.”That claim didn’t match how real audits work.And that’s when the investigation began.THE AUDIT EXCUSETo understand why this raised red flags instantly, you have to know what a real audit actually does. Audits do not freeze bank accounts. Audits do not stop investor payouts. And auditors have no authority to block withdrawals.When a company stops paying investors, it is not because of an audit.It is because the money is no longer available.Every hour that passed made this harder to deny.THE ANONYMOUS AUDIT LETTERToday, for the first time, I am releasing a document that arrived through my anonymous contact page on 12 September 2025. It claimed to be an “audit announcement,” but I could not verify who wrote it, where it came from, or whether it was genuine. That is exactly why I did not publish it at the time.The formatting didn’t match any of Goliath’s previous newsletters—although even their official newsletters were often inconsistent. The tone felt unusual. Something about it wasn’t right.But now that payouts have frozen, and investors are searching for answers, it feels important to show people the kinds of documents circulating in the background—whether they came from inside the organisation or were created by someone trying to imitate it.The most striking part was the language.It did not read like a standard audit notice. Instead of neutral financial terms, it referenced Ponzi scheme detection, fraudulent conveyance analysis, lost profit reviews, and economic damage assessments. These are terms rarely used outside forensic accounting or legal disputes.Whether the letter was internal, leaked, or fabricated, it resembles the type of messaging that surfaces when a scheme begins to unravel.THE CEO WHO VANISHEDWhile investors looked for clarity, new information began to surface. Multiple independent sources contacted me claiming that Goliath’s CEO, Christopher Delgado, had left the United States. Several said he was in Dubai. Some suggested he was not alone.These details are still being verified.But what is verifiable is the silence.Chris has not addressed investors.He has not provided documentation to support the audit excuse.He has not produced any evidence of trading, blockchain activity, mining operations, surplus funds, or liquidity.His absence is becoming its own statement.*Messages continue to arrive from investors worldwide—people who invested savings, retirement funds, and family money. People who trusted colleagues, friends, and professionals who referred them into Goliath. People now terrified that they may never see their money again.Some are angry.Some are devastated.All deserve the truth.THE REALITY OF THE “AUDIT” CLAIMBy now, one fact is unavoidable:Audits do not stop payouts.Audits do not create silence.Audits do not cause CEOs to disappear.The “audit” narrative collapses under even basic scrutiny.When payouts halt and leadership goes silent, the cause is not a review.The cause is a lack of liquidity.WHAT HAPPENS NEXTThis investigation is ongoing. More documents emerge daily. More internal conversations surface. More incoBuy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee. If you like my work, you can buy me a coffee and share your thoughts.Support the show

The press release paints Stephen Davis as a fallen fire chief who bravely left public service to start a parenting project and a publishing company. It reads like a feel-good comeback story. But buried behind this glossy narrative is the part he didn’t disclose: his role as Director of Administration for GOLIATH VENTURES INC, a company now at the centre of federal scrutiny.While the article highlights his podcasts, memoirs, and charity work, it never once mentions that the company he helps run was formally dissolved in Florida yet continued to operate, raise funds, and pay out “returns” that investors are now struggling to withdraw. That omission is not an accident — it’s the entire point of the sponsored piece.From Firefighter Chief to Entrepreneur: Stephen Davis Announces Growth of Raising Alphas and New Publishing House Choice Press: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/from-firefighter-chief-to-entrepreneur-stephen-davis-announces-growth-of-raising-alphas-and-new-publishing-house-choice-press-1035560777THE MISDIRECTIONThe timing of the press release is no coincidence. Over the last few months, withdrawals from GOLIATH VENTURES have stalled. Investors have panicked. Executives have gone silent. And multiple government agencies have quietly begun pulling apart the company’s paperwork, payouts, and banking claims.In the middle of this, Stephen Davis suddenly emerges with a polished article celebrating his leadership skills, his book launch, and his “mission to help families.” Not one line acknowledges the growing number of people who fear they may have lost their savings. Not one line mentions the investigations. Not one line mentions the red flags stacking up behind the scenes.Instead, the article rewrites the narrative: Davis is not an executive in an investment scheme under pressure — he’s now a publisher, a mentor, a coach, a philanthropist. A classic attempt to build credibility while the ship is taking on water.THE HIDDEN NETWORKBehind the scenes, GOLIATH VENTURES INC has been operating in the shadows. After the Florida entity was dissolved, the team quietly continued accepting investor funds. No disclosure. No registration. No warning. Investors were told everything was fine, even as internal cracks widened.During this period, Stephen Davis was not a distant advisor. He was part of the administrative core — involved in investor communications, email broadcasts, and internal coordination. Yet none of this appears in the press release. Instead, the story has been replaced with a heroic rebrand built to distract from the growing scrutiny around the company’s operations.This is the same pattern used by dozens of collapsing MLM-style investment schemes: when the heat rises, rewrite the identity of the key players and drown the public in “positive” sponsored stories.THE INVESTIGATIONSInvestors across the United States — particularly in Florida — have reported difficulties recovering their principal. Whistleblowers have come forward with documents showing inconsistencies in the company’s filings and claimed banking relationships. Agencies are now reviewing everything from withdrawals to recruitment patterns to offshore communications.These are not minor questions. They are the same signs seen before every major crypto-style Ponzi collapse over the last five years.Meanwhile, the public is being fed a story about a firefighter-turned-author. The contrast could not be sharper.The press release is not journalism — it’s damage control.Buy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

In this exposé, Danny de Hek aka The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger breaks down Stephen McCullah’s latest GRAPE AMA and the private messages he sent after being publicly exposed. What unfolds is a classic scammer playbook — denial, manipulation, and even a failed attempt to bribe me with $5,000 to take down my videos.McCullah, known for past disasters like Apollo (APL), GSX, and LunaOne, now claims that his new project, GRAPE (GRP/GGT), will “revolutionise Web3” with AI wallets, free-zone citizenship, and zero taxes. In reality, it’s just another rebrand of the same collapsed projects — full of recycled promises, no evidence, and vague timelines.Watch as I reveal every contradiction, false statement, and psychological tactic McCullah used in his so-called AMA. From fake “AI integrations” and nonexistent partnerships to the fantasy “free zone” that supposedly offers citizenship with no taxes — the claims are beyond ridiculous.IN OUR PRIVATE EXCHANGE, MCCULLAH TRIED TO REWRITE HISTORY:- Claimed he was “the opposite of a scammer”- Blamed me for being “misinformed”- Offered to donate $5,000 to my anti-scam cause if I removed my content- Promised to get “fakejournalists.net” taken down if I cooperated- Insisted “law enforcement was impressed with what we built” — without a shred of evidenceTHIS IS THE SAME PATTERN WE’VE SEEN ACROSS HIS PAST PROJECTS:Apollo – marketed as a revolutionary cryptocurrency but plagued with false claims and broken promises.GSX – the so-called “gold-backed stablecoin” that never had verifiable gold reserves.LunaOne – pitched as a metaverse worth billions, yet disappeared without delivering a single working product.And now, GRAPE, another fantasy ecosystem built on buzzwords like “AI,” “Web4,” and “citizenship zones.”If you think this all sounds familiar, it’s because it is. The Ponzi model hasn’t changed — just the branding.In this video, I feed all of McCullah’s statements, messages, and his AMA transcript into ChatGPT for a full analysis — breaking down his manipulative language, spotting inconsistencies, and exposing how he twists truth into fiction. You’ll see how ChatGPT identifies each red flag, point by point, and why this project is just another high-tech mirage designed to lure desperate investors.We’ll also go through the Signal and iMessage screenshots, where McCullah’s tone shifts from defensive to desperate, and finally to dismissive when he realises his persuasion tactics won’t work. He even tries to sound calm and rational — the moment a scammer starts saying “I wish you the best,” you know they’ve lost control of the narrative.Throughout this exposé, I’ll show you how to spot these manipulation techniques — so you’ll never fall for this kind of crypto theatre again.KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:- GRAPE (GRP/GGT) is a continuation of McCullah’s previous Ponzi schemes under a new name.- His AMA is packed with false claims, non-existent technology, and fake progress timelines.- McCullah attempted to bribe me and offer “donations” in exchange for removing exposé content.- There is no proof of any AI wallet, free zone, or gold-backed assets.- His communication style follows the classic scammer cycle: denial → manipulation → control → retreat.If you’re holding GRP, GGT, or any token connected to Stephen McCullah, now is the time to step back, demand verifiable proof, and protect your funds.If you believe you’ve been scammed or want to share insider information about a suspicious company, visit dehek.com/contact — all tips are treated confidBuy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

New Zealand journalist Danny de Hek is being sued by Christopher Delgado’s GOLIATH VENTURES INC in a Florida courtroom.This is Danny vs Goliath — a real-life David vs Goliath story where truth meets power.On September 22, 2025, GOLIATH VENTURES INC filed a lawsuit against Danny — 7,000 miles away from his home in New Zealand — claiming he caused “millions of dollars in damages.” Their complaint accuses him of lying about their CEO, running a “smear campaign,” and publishing defamatory content.Here’s what they didn’t mention: after months of investigating GOLIATH VENTURES INC, Danny uncovered what he believes is a large-scale Ponzi scheme breaking multiple U.S. laws and deceiving investors worldwide. HIS REPORTING REVEALED:- Impossible guaranteed returns (4–8% monthly)- Unlicensed money transmission- Unregistered securities sold to unaccredited investors- Connections to convicted fraudsters like Verlin Sanciango (My Liquidity Partner)- Deceptive claims of insurance and audits- A pattern of withdrawal delays and shifting excuses- Now, this lawsuit is being used to silence him.In this exposé, Danny shows how Christopher Delgado and GOLIATH VENTURES INC have allegedly turned the courtroom into a publicity stunt — using the case to reassure panicked investors and attract new ones under the guise of legitimacy.The lawsuit, filed by Oliver Birman of Perlman, Bajandas, Yevoli & Albright, reads more like an advertisement than a legal document. It describes GOLIATH as “operating at the leading edge of decentralized finance,” with “fidelity bond coverage” and “strategic Bitcoin initiatives” — phrasing that sounds suspiciously like investor bait.Danny argues that this lawsuit is not about defamation — it’s about intimidation. It’s about silencing journalists who expose uncomfortable truths.THIS VIDEO DIVES DEEP INTO:- How GOLIATH VENTURES INC’s business model mirrors My Liquidity Partner, a previous Ponzi scheme.- The background of its executives, including Nick Petrillo, who has previously appeared in DOJ indictments.- How the lawsuit could backfire by exposing the company’s fraudulent operations to even greater public scrutiny.- The Florida Supreme Court setting underscores a symbolic international clash — the American flag vs the New Zealand flag, justice vs corruption, truth vs manipulation.- This is not just another scam story. It’s a test of how far financial fraudsters will go to protect their empire when exposed.Full blog post with supporting documents, lawsuit excerpts, and analysis:https://www.dehek.com/general/scam-fraud-investigations/danny-vs-goliath-new-zealand-journalist-sued-by-christopher-delgados-goliath-ventures-inc/SPONSOR A REVIEW- If you’re open to it, I’ve recently launched a sponsored review service that allows me to conduct deep-dive investigations into scams like this one.

In this exclusive audio recording, Michelle Alistoun—cousin to exposed scammer Rory Conacher—breaks her silence following a landmark court ruling in Durban. On 4 August 2025, the High Court granted a provisional liquidation order against RJS Capital (Pty) Ltd after finding compelling evidence of insolvency and misconduct.With no introduction, this episode features Michelle reading her personal statement in her own voice—raw, emotional, and unfiltered. She recounts how Rory manipulated her and others over three years with false promises, fake legal threats, and spiritual deflections while withholding hundreds of thousands of dollars, including her daughter’s university fund.This is not just a victim’s story—it’s a call to action. Michelle funded the legal battle, formed a creditor group called The Vanguard, and now speaks out to ensure no one else falls for Rory’s deception. Her courage and clarity in the face of betrayal expose the psychology of financial abusers and the manipulative tactics they use—including DARVO, fear management, and gaslighting.This podcast stands as a public record—because silence protects predators.To hear her full story in writing or to follow further updates, visit: dehek.com/general/ponzi-scheme-scamalerts/the-fall-of-rory-conacher-liquidated-in-court-exposed-by-family-and-finally-held-accountable/Support the show

Welcome to The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger channel — I’m Danny de Hek, and today we’re pulling the plug on NexQloud, a so-called tech disruptor that’s peddling fake cloud computing, bogus “NanoServer” claims, and now hiding behind lawyers after being exposed.After publishing a well-researched exposé calling out NexQloud’s outrageous lies, I received not one, but TWO legal threats from New Zealand law firm Bell Gully, delivered by their partner Tania Goatley. Their demand? That I delete my blog and YouTube video — and pay $5,000 — for the crime of journalism.THIS VIDEO COVERS:NexQloud’s laughable “NanoServer” scam — a glorified mini-PC they claim is better than AWSTheir phony PR campaign built on paid Forbes placements, fake Yahoo Finance write-ups, and no-name news sites passing off ads as journalismBell Gully’s attempts to intimidate me with weak legal letters while completely ignoring the factsA deep dive into the so-called “independent” media reports that were actually advertorials and PR fluffWhy their entire business model looks like another crypto Ponzi scheme in disguise, propped up by buzzwords and zero proof of real clientsYou’ll also see exclusive images satirizing the absurdity of this launch — including me (Danny) holding a NexQloud device with the same seriousness I’d give a Happy Meal toy, while their lawyer admires a racing-bike-turned-“NanoServer” like it’s the future of computing.LET’S BE REAL:If your groundbreaking tech can only be verified by paid ad space, you’re not innovating — you’re marketing.If your response to scrutiny is sending lawyers instead of facts, you’re not building — you’re bluffing.If your business model depends on silencing critics and promoting unproven tech to vulnerable investors, then you're exactly why this channel exists.This isn’t journalism they’re trying to shut down — it’s accountability.So, to Bell Gully and Tania Goatley: next time you want to protect a client, pick one that isn’t selling fairy dust and crypto hype to mum-and-dad investors.To NexQloud: Your buzzwords are broken. Your NanoServer is nonsense. Your time is up.To the public: stay sharp, ask questions, and always follow the money.WARNING TO INVESTORS: If someone is asking you to “buy hardware” or “stake crypto” to earn passive income with zero transparency, it’s likely a scam.

This scammer thought he could outsmart The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger… big mistake.In this eye-opening video, I, Danny de Hek aka The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, take you behind the scenes of a real scam attempt where a fraudster tried to steal my crypto wallet by impersonating Binance support over the phone.*IT ALL STARTED WITH A TEXT:*“Binance: Your verification code is: 829-106. If you did not request this code, please contact our support team immediately at +6499730014.”*SOUNDS LEGIT, RIGHT? IT’S NOT.*That phone number leads straight to a scammer operating out of a New Zealand line—armed with a script, psychological tactics, and a plan to con people into giving up their seed phrase.This video includes the full transcript of the call—unedited—so you can hear firsthand the tactics used to:- Mimic real Binance support- Create urgency and fear- Gain trust through repetition and tech jargon- Pressure victims into installing Trust Wallet- Trick them into revealing their 12-word seed phraseThey even pretended to “upgrade” me to a fake “Level 3 Binance Security Plan” that only allows one device to be logged in at a time. Their goal?

LunaOne promised the moon—and delivered dust. Now, a rebranded company called FourthStar claims it has bought the “intellectual property” from LunaOne and wants to start fresh, while distancing itself from the failed crypto metaverse scheme that allegedly scammed thousands.But the crypto community isn’t buying the redemption arc, especially when the new players admit they’ve inherited the tech—along with some of the same faces and stories.The Rise and Fall of LunaOneLunaOne, a flashy metaverse crypto project, lured in more than 11,000 investors with slick marketing, paid influencer promotions, and bogus claims of brand partnerships. Investors like Cindy and Ann were told that buying in early meant big rewards: pre-sale tokens offered at $0.15 were supposed to launch at $0.25.But when launch day arrived, tokens debuted at just $0.05—and the platform fell silent.Some investors didn’t even receive their tokens until after the crash. Others reported never receiving them at all. Promised partnerships with Coca-Cola, Xbox, and PlayStation turned out to be smoke and mirrors. Discords were silenced, admins were paid in tokens to suppress criticism, and investors who asked questions were kicked out.False Promises and Delayed TokensThe core deception lay in the tokenomics. Buyers were promised a controlled launch at $0.25—yet what happened was the exact opposite. Many received nothing. Others were air-dropped tokens too late to salvage any value.The leadership, including Stephen McCullah and Daniel Puzny, disappeared from the project. Puzny, allegedly stepping down for “health reasons,” went on to launch a suspiciously similar project called NuUReal. McCullah, meanwhile, is the man who once raised money on Kickstarter to hunt dinosaurs in the Congo. Yes, really.Who’s Really Behind LunaOne—and Now FourthStar?Documents and interviews reveal that McCullah was always the true architect of LunaOne. The front-facing CEO, Daniel Puzny, was little more than a placeholder. McCullah’s name appears on legal documents, company registrations, and apology letters to the LunaOne community.FourthStar’s current team includes Craig Wilshere, a developer who was contracted by LunaOne and never paid, according to insiders. John Seia, an Australian investor-turned-contributor, reached out to Danny de Hek in a phone call (recorded and published with this blog), claiming he lost $40,000 of his own money and is now helping FourthStar voluntarily. His words:“I’m just a pleb trying to make something good out of the ashes.”Misleading Marketing & Red FlagsLunaOne mastered the playbook of crypto hype: fake brand endorsements, influencer-driven sales funnels, staged AMA calls, and vague promises of “world-changing tech.”They convinced the average person to part with thousands using “starter packages” and gamified staking options.Meanwhile, The Run Guys—crypto influencers with huge followings—endorsed the project for months, even meeting with McCullah before launch. They later scrubbed their YouTube channel and released a non-apology.READ MORE >>Buy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

I’ve spent countless hours uncovering Ponzi schemes and helping victims understand the true nature of these scams. My goal has always been to empower people, helping them avoid losing their hard-earned money. However, my recent experience with an individual I’ll call Ethan Graves (a pseudonym) and his associate, representing companies based in Austria and elsewhere, opened my eyes to a concerning aspect of the recovery services industry. This is my account, my observations, and my opinion, shared to provide cautionary insight to others.The Podcast That Raised Red FlagsEthan Graves and I recorded the podcast in one of the meeting rooms at the Global Financial Crime Summit 2024. The discussion centered on the event itself—how insightful the sessions were, the innovative strategies shared by experts, and the importance of global collaboration in fighting financial crime. Ethan brought a cameraman to document the podcast, which seemed like a straightforward way to capture and share the moment.After the podcast, Ethan posted photos and videos on social media, including images of himself standing at a podium with the summit’s signage prominently displayed in the background. To someone unfamiliar with the situation, these posts might give the impression that Ethan was closely affiliated with the summit or had an official role as a delegate or speaker. In reality, Ethan’s only connection to the event was being invited to record the podcast in the venue.While the posts didn’t explicitly claim he was part of the summit, in my opinion, the way they were presented could mislead people into believing Ethan was more involved than he actually was. At first, I thought little of it, assuming Ethan was simply proud of being associated with such an important event. However, things began to shift after the podcast aired.A week after I returned home, I started receiving emails from people who had seen the podcast. Many of these messages were supportive, but a significant number raised serious concerns about Ethan. Several individuals claimed he was a scammer, warning me to be cautious. Others shared documents that painted a troubling picture of his professional activities.These emails stopped me in my tracks. Until then, I had seen Ethan as a fellow advocate for scam victims—someone committed to helping those who had been defrauded. But the allegations and evidence I was receiving suggested a different story.The documents I received included:Contracts and agreements related to recovery services that raised questions about transparency and fairness.Complaints from individuals who claimed they had paid fees upfront but had seen no progress or results.Information suggesting that Ethan’s professional partner and their organization were more focused on collecting fees than on delivering real outcomes.What had started as an impromptu podcast to highlight the value of the summit quickly backfired on Ethan. Instead of boosting his credibility, it prompted people to come forward with concerns and evidence that cast doubt on his intentions.Returning Home: The Proposal That Changed EverythingShortly after I returned to New Zealand, Ethan reached out with a proposal that changed my perspective entirely. He explained that he had been discussing with his professional partner at their organisation the idea of pursuing a recovery initiative for victims of Ponzi schemes, particularly HyperVerse. They wanted me to direct victims to their services and, in return, offered to pay me a flat-rate fee.Buy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

In this episode, The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger—Danny de Hek—dives deep into Megan Lynch’s latest attempt at gaslighting her audience into believing the VYB scheme is anything but another shady MLM scam. If you’ve ever wondered how scammers manipulate people into staying loyal to a sinking ship, this is the episode for you!Megan’s video is a psychological rollercoaster, packed with blame-shifting, emotional manipulation, and classic cult-like MLM tactics designed to keep people trapped in the illusion of financial success. She categorises people into "quitters," "players," "workers," and "studs," making it clear that if you question the business model or fail to recruit others, you’re just a weak-minded loser who doesn't "want it bad enough."But let’s be real—this is not about mindset or hard work. This is about a system that benefits the people at the top while everyone else fights for scraps. The red flags are everywhere:🚩 Demonizing anyone who questions the scheme🚩 Encouraging blind loyalty to leaders🚩 Focusing on recruitment over actual product sales🚩 Guilt-tripping participants for not working 24/7🚩 Selling a dream that only works for the few at the topVYB’s so-called "business opportunity" is crumbling, and instead of taking responsibility, Megan is spinning an elaborate web of excuses to keep people locked in. The irony? She warns about people who “stay busy being busy” while she herself delivers hours of fluff without providing a single concrete solution on how this company actually generates sustainable income.If you’ve ever felt pressured into an MLM or been guilted into thinking you just weren’t working hard enough, this episode will open your eyes. Tune in as I break down the psychological tricks, expose the manipulation, and shine a massive spotlight on the tactics used to keep these schemes alive.💥 Don’t be a victim of gaslighting—be informed. 💥Hit play and let’s dismantle this nonsense together!Buy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

Scammers are getting smarter, and one of the latest tactics involves convincing victims to enable face recognition on their Binance accounts.In this blog, we’ll break down how these scams work, the psychological tricks they use, and why you should never enable face recognition for financial accounts.The Scam: A Fake Binance Security CallI recently received a call from someone claiming to be from Binance’s security team. The caller told me that my account had been compromised due to a login attempt from an unfamiliar Samsung S20 device. They assured me that Binance had blocked the attempt but insisted that I needed to set up a new Binance account with face recognition enabled for extra security.This was a classic scam designed to gain control of my account using biometric authentication. If I had followed their instructions, the scammers would have likely used my facial recognition data to bypass Binance’s security features and drain my funds.How Scammers Groom YouScammers rely on manipulation and trust-building to make their victims comply. Here’s how they tried to trick me:Asking for my Binance balance – The scammer wanted to know how much I had in my account. If I had said there was no money, they would have hung up and moved on to the next target. Since I lied and told them I had $15,000, they saw me as a worthwhile victim.Using fake security concerns – They created a sense of urgency by telling me my account was compromised, making me feel like I needed to act fast.Fake reference numbers – The first scammer gave me a reference number, but when I spoke to their “supervisor,” I intentionally gave a completely different number, and they didn’t even notice! This proved they weren’t looking at any real records—they were just making it up as they went.Insisting on face recognition – They repeatedly tried to get me to enable biometric authentication, claiming it was the safest way to protect my funds.Scripted responses – When I questioned their logic, they stuck to a rehearsed script, avoiding my direct challenges.By keeping them talking, I was able to expose more of their tricks. The longer they spoke, the more inconsistencies appeared, proving they were fraudsters.Best Security Practices Instead of Face RecognitionTo keep your Binance account safe, follow these security best practices instead of using biometric authentication:Use Strong Passwords – A unique, complex password is harder to breach.Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) – Prefer Google Authenticator over SMS (SIM swap attacks are common).Use a Hardware Security Key – A YubiKey or similar device adds another layer of protection.Disable Biometric Login – If you’ve already enabled face recognition, turn it off immediately.Final Verdict: Avoid Face Recognition for BinanceWhile facial recognition may seem convenient, it is not secure enough for financial accounts. The risks of hacking, deepfake attacks, and coercion far outweigh the benefits. Instead, use strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and hardware security keys to keep your assets safe.Have you ever received a scam call like this? Share your experiences in the comments! And remember—no real Binance employee will ever call you about account security. Stay alert and protect your crypto!Buy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

Join me, Danny de Hek, aka The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, on January 18th for an exclusive interview with Megan Lynch, the voice behind the controversial VYB initiative. Megan is known for her bold claims and passionate leadership, but this interview goes beyond the surface to scrutinize the structure, ethics, and promises of her latest venture.As someone committed to exposing scams and protecting everyday investors, I’ll ask the tough questions about VYB's business model, recruitment tactics, and transparency. Some of the key topics include:The ethics of involving a six-year-old in a Zoom meeting to defend the legitimacy of the business.VYB’s strong emphasis on recruiting downlines and the $442,860 monthly income claims.The product offering—or lack thereof—and the justification for the $25 entry fee.The role of accountability in previous ventures and why trust should be placed in this one.Questions about qualifications, credentials, and compliance with regulations like Zoom’s MLM policy.Megan will have the opportunity to clarify her position and address the concerns raised by critics, including her controversial partnership with her sister, Ragan Lynch. While Ragan will not be present in the interview, her involvement in this initiative and others will undoubtedly be a point of discussion.This interview isn’t just about disagreement—it’s about creating a platform for transparency and accountability.

Welcome to The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger! I’m Danny de Hek, here to expose scams and unethical practices that harm everyday people.This video uncovers the shocking behavior of Matthew Edwards, founder of Mars Digital, who aggressively sent unsolicited emails promoting his SEO services—violating New Zealand’s Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.After receiving two emails from Matthew, I decided to confront him directly. What followed was a heated 30-minute phone call where he repeatedly dismissed the law, ridiculed me, and claimed he wouldn’t provide his services because I’m “not a nice person.” Instead of addressing his blatant disregard for anti-spam regulations, he fixated on accusing me of swearing during our conversation.WHAT IS THE UNSOLICITED ELECTRONIC MESSAGES ACT 2007?This legislation, designed to protect individuals and businesses from spam, applies to all commercial electronic messages with a New Zealand link, including emails sent to, from, or within the country. Key points of the law include: Consent is Mandatory: Businesses must obtain express, inferred, or deemed consent before sending commercial emails.Express Consent: The recipient has explicitly agreed to receive messages.Inferred Consent: A prior business relationship implies the recipient would reasonably expect contact.Deemed Consent: The recipient has published their contact details publicly without stating they do not wish to be contacted.Content Requirements: All commercial messages must:Accurately identify the sender, including valid contact details.Provide a functional and free unsubscribe option.Penalties for Non-Compliance:*Organizations violating the law can face fines of up to $500,000, while individuals can be fined up to $200,000. HIGHLIGHTSFROM THE CALL:1. Matthew’s Email Tactics Exposed:His first email included a pitch for a “Christmas Sleigh-EO Audit,” claiming his team would analyze local e-commerce sites for SEO improvements.A follow-up email three days later insisted the initial email might have been “buried.”2. Defiance of the Law:During our conversation, I explained the legal requirements for sending unsolicited emails, but Matthew dismissed these concerns outright, insisting he was within his rights.3. Unbelievable Responses:Instead of engaging professionally, Matthew ridiculed me and accused me of being unkind, pivoting the focus away from his questionable practices.4. SEO Irony:Despite claiming to be an SEO expert, Mars Digital’s website fails to rank for fundamental search terms like “SEO Website Marketing Services NZ.”WHY THIS VIDEO MATTERS:Unsolicited emails are more than an annoyance—they undermine trust in business and infringe on privacy. Many New Zealanders remain unaware of their legal protections, making them vulnerable to these tactics. This video not only exposes one company’s practices but also aims to educate the public about their rights under the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007. By holding businesses accountable, we can push for better compliance and reduce the prevalence of spam in our inboxes.For the latest see the BLOGBuy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

In this video, I share the unfortunate experience of being removed as a speaker from the upcoming DeCult 2024 Conference, despite already being publicly announced as part of the program. After receiving an email from Anke Richter, the event's director, explaining the decision, I felt compelled to respond publicly.This decision was made after members of the ex-Jehovah’s Witness (JW) community raised concerns about my inclusion in the event, resulting in DeCult's decision to retract my speaking slot. The reasoning? Concerns that my participation would keep a large portion of the ex-JW community from attending. While I understand the need to consider the audience’s comfort and safety, I believe this situation has been handled unfairly, as no one from DeCult approached me directly to hear my side of the story.In this video, I speak with Dennis Parker, one of the event co-organizers, via Zoom, where I express my frustration and disbelief at how this has unfolded. I’ve always aimed to use my platform to expose harmful organizations like Jehovah’s Witnesses, raising awareness of cult practices and helping people break free from controlling environments. I believe it’s ironic that DeCult, an organization dedicated to exposing harmful cults, is shunning me in a manner all too similar to the cult-like behavior we seek to expose.I’ve been deeply involved in exposing cults for years and have even done a successful interview with Lara Kaput, which DeCult themselves promoted.- Video Interview with Lara KaputYet, despite this, more recent accusations have come forward that I’ve never had a chance to address with the organizers. It feels like an entire community has made a decision about me based on misinformation, and I wasn’t even given a platform to defend myself.Additionally, Rob Woolley, a colleague and respected figure from the Toastmasters and Rotary communities, wrote a heartfelt letter in support of me to Dennis Parker. In this letter, Rob highlights my professionalism and my ability to handle controversial topics with grace and humor. However, Dennis claims that this letter wasn’t passed on to Anke, leaving me even more perplexed as to how this situation has been handled.Key Points in This Video:- I share the email from DeCult Director Anke Richter explaining their decision to remove me as a speaker due to concerns raised by the ex-Jehovah’s Witness community.- My conversation with Dennis Parker, where I plead for a meeting with the DeCult committee to address these concerns and have my voice heard.- My feelings of being treated unfairly and shunned, similar to the behavior cults impose on their members, ironically by an organization meant to fight against cult practices.- A heartfelt letter from Rob Woolley supporting my character, professionalism, and ability to handle controversial topics, which was not passed on to the decision-makers.I believe everyone should have the chance to tell their side of the story before decisions like these are made. In this video, I ask for your feedback and invite you to share your thoughts on how this situation has been handled. Do you believe this decision was justified, or do you think I should have been given the chance to present my side of the story to the DeCult committee?Your input is valuable to me, and I encourage you to engage in the conversation.

Welcome to another hard-hitting investigation on The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger channel! I’m Danny de Hek, also known as The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, and my mission is to bring light to the unethical and illegal schemes that prey on mum and dad investors. My goal is to create awareness and help prevent families from losing their hard-earned savings to scammers lurking behind multilevel marketing (MLM) schemes and Ponzi scams.In this video, I tackle Billion Dollar Mind, a cash gifting scam that’s hiding behind the guise of cryptocurrency. But what makes this even more appalling is their use of religious scripture and Christian beliefs to target unsuspecting individuals. By quoting verses like Matthew 21:22 and suggesting that faith alone will lead to financial success, they exploit the trust and goodwill of their community in a predatory way.KEY QUESTIONS I POSED DURING THE VIDEO:Is it ethical for a company to operate without transparency about its ownership or leadership, especially when significant financial contributions are required?Why does Billion Dollar Mind refuse to disclose who’s behind the platform? Could it be to avoid accountability?What risks are associated with a business model based solely on recruiting new participants rather than offering legitimate products or services?How sustainable is a gifting scheme, especially when recruitment inevitably slows?Does the use of terms like 'gifting' or 'donations' truly distance Billion Dollar Mind from legal consequences, or is this just a clever disguise?Authorities have cracked down on similar schemes in the past, so why should this be any different?SHOCKING REVELATIONSIn a recent Zoom meeting, I had the opportunity to confront John Austin, one of the key figures behind Billion Dollar Mind. Despite their knowledge that cash gifting is illegal, Austin and his team believe they can bypass the law by using cryptocurrency. Even worse, they wrap their scheme in a religious cloak, targeting people with Christian beliefs and using scripture to justify their actions. Is this ethical? Is it legal? I don’t think so—and I explain why.QUESTIONS FOR MY VIEWERS TO PONDER:Is it ethical to manipulate someone’s faith to entice them into a financial scheme, especially one with a high likelihood of collapse?Does using scripture in this context distort the spiritual message, turning faith into a tool for profit?What is the moral responsibility of those who use religion to promote financial schemes, especially when many participants are likely to lose money?THE LEGAL PERSPECTIVE:While gifting money to a friend or family member is legal in the U.S., cash gifting schemes are typically illegal when structured like Billion Dollar Mind. These schemes often resemble pyramid schemes, where recruiting participants is the only way to make money. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) have prosecuted such schemes as fraudulent because they lack legitimate products or services, relying instead on continuous recruitment for financial gain.Buy Me a Coffee I’m on @buymeacoffee.

Welcome back to my channel, The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger! I'm Danny de Hek, and my mission here is to expose and shame anyone involved in Ponzi schemes or scams. By raising public awareness, I aim to save mum and dad investors from losing their kids' inheritance to the multilevel marketing bottom feeders of the world.Today’s video is a bit different but equally important. We're diving into a critical issue that affects many families: youth behavior problems. In this follow-up video, I have a candid conversation with a retired teacher who shares his invaluable experience, knowledge, and skills in addressing such issues. This discussion was conducted over the telephone and lasted about an hour. For privacy reasons, our guest has chosen to remain anonymous, but he has taught at a school in Auckland, New Zealand, for 25 years.THE INCIDENT: A RECAPIn a previous video, I shared a distressing experience involving a group of youths who have been persistently vandalizing my friend shop. These incidents escalated when I was physically assaulted, resulting in broken glasses. The alarming part is that these perpetrators are only 14 years old, yet they seem to have no fear of consequences, despite being known to law enforcement.A TEACHER'S PERSPECTIVEIn this video, the retired teacher listens to voice recordings of Tane Harimate and his mother after the incident. He offers profound insights and wisdom that can benefit all parents, especially those with children struggling with behavior problems. His experience in dealing with such issues in a school setting provides a unique perspective on the root causes and potential solutions for these troubling behaviors.KEY POINTS OF DISCUSSIONUnderstanding Youth Behavior: The teacher delves into the psychological and social factors that contribute to youth crime and misbehavior. He highlights the importance of addressing these issues early on to prevent future problems.Effective Communication: The importance of open and honest communication between parents and children is emphasized. The teacher shares practical advice on how to foster a healthy dialogue that can lead to positive behavioral changes.Role of Education: The discussion touches on how schools can play a crucial role in shaping the behavior and attitudes of young people. The teacher shares strategies that have proven effective in his 25 years of experience.Legal and Social Accountability: We explore the broader societal and legal implications of youth crime. The teacher discusses the need for a balanced approach that holds young offenders accountable while providing them with opportunities for rehabilitation.WHY THIS MATTERSThis video is not just about a single incident but a call to action for parents, educators, and the community to come together and address the systemic issues contributing to youth crime. By sharing this retired teacher's insights, I hope to provide valuable guidance to those facing similar challenges with their children.JOIN THE DISCUSSIONI invite you all to join this important conversation.

Join me, Danny de Hek, aka The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, as we uncover the truth behind the latest scandal in the cryptocurrency world on today's live stream of "The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger."We're diving headfirst into the chaos surrounding the highly anticipated Boomerang MVP launch. Originally slated for March 1st, then postponed to April 2nd, 8th, 20th, and finally May 3rd, the constant delays have raised serious doubts about Boomerang's credibility. But that's not the only red flag.Recent developments have exposed troubling issues with Boomerang's development process. Despite assurances from the team, a visit to their supposed testing website, testing.app-boomerang.trade, triggers a warning from MetaMask about deceptive site warnings and phishing scams. While Boomerang brushes off these concerns, MetaMask support confirms the legitimacy of the warning, advising users to steer clear of the site and the company behind it.During our live stream, we'll dissect the latest communication from Boomerang's spokesperson, Shavez, examining claims of API response time improvements, UI enhancements, and scalability breakthroughs. Are these advancements genuine progress or merely a smokescreen to mask deeper problems?Furthermore, we'll investigate reports of a troubling lag between Boomerang's UI and Aggregator websites, potentially causing failed transactions. Is this lag solely to blame, or are there more sinister forces at play? We're demanding transparency and accountability from Boomerang as we seek answers to these critical questions.Support my mission to expose crypto scams by fueling my content creation with a virtual coffee on BuyMeACoffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dehek.
