    FourthStar Buys LunaOne Scam Assets, Offers Worthless Tokens in Bid to Win Back the Crypto Community

    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.

    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:

    How Scammers Use Face Recognition to Steal Your Binance Wallet

    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.

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.

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. Megan will have the chance to share her perspective, and we'll leave it up to you, the viewers, to decide.

    Rory Conacher & Craig Wotton: Serial Ponzi Promoter Turned Fake Crypto Recovery Leader(s)

    If you've been burned by a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, the last thing you need is someone swooping in to exploit you again under the guise of “help.” Enter Rory Conacher – a name now synonymous with fake crypto recovery scams, deception, and an unrelenting track record of promoting fraud.Rory has spent years pushing fraudulent investment opportunities like HyperVerse, We Are All Satoshi, VidiLOOK, and other Ponzi schemes that have collectively drained millions of dollars from everyday people.Now, in a stunning twist, Rory Conacher is back, this time positioning himself as the “saviour” for victims of the very scams he promoted. He's claiming to lead a class action lawsuit against HyperTech Group and its founder Sam Lee, who has been charged with running a $1.9 billion Ponzi scheme. However, what Rory's really doing is far from altruistic. He is collecting money, demanding sensitive personal information, and giving victims false hope.Let's unpack the red flags and expose how Rory Conacher is orchestrating yet another scam – one that preys on desperate victims.Who Is Rory Conacher?Rory Conacher is a South African Ponzi promoter with a disturbing history of championing multi-level marketing (MLM) and cryptocurrency-based Ponzi schemes.Rory has a history of shifting blame and disappearing when platforms collapse. Now, as victims reel from these losses, Rory claims he is leading a class-action lawsuit to recover funds – all while asking for more money and personal data.Key Question: How can a man with such a well-documented history of promoting scams be trusted to lead recovery efforts?Rory Conacher's $15 Cash GrabRory Conacher claims that 20,000 people have each pledged $15 to fund his leadership in a class action lawsuit. This would amount to $300,000, but the reality tells a different story.Through tracking Rory's wallet address – TYzL3nFTmVExygkpmPRYXHVG798Uh4YMxE (see TronScan) – it was revealed that only $37,425.99 USDT has been withdrawn over the last 280 days. On December 17, 2024, the wallet's balance stood at just $493.60.Key Red Flags:Inflated Numbers: Rory claims 20,000 people have pledged funds, but the wallet transactions reveal far less. Is Rory inflating numbers to create false hype?Payment Gateways: Rory now accepts payments via credit card and bank transfers, claiming victims couldn't pay in crypto. These methods obscure accountability and make tracking funds nearly impossible.Missing Funds: If Rory truly collected pledges from 20,000 people, he's still $260,000 short of the goal. Where is the money?Dubious Legal Claims: Rory says he works with lawyers charging $400 per hour but refuses to name them or provide proof of activity. With less than $40,000 raised, how is he funding these legal fees?This alleged lawsuit is just another opportunity for Rory to prey on victims' desperation and profit from their trust.Buy Me a Coffee I'm on @buymeacoffee.

    Unsolicited Emails in NZ: Heated 30-Minute Call with Matthew Edwards Exposes Mars Digital's Tactics

    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.

    REJECTED from DECULT CONFERENCE 2024: Why Was EX-Jehovah's Witness Danny de Hek Silenced & Dropped?

    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 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.

    BILLION DOLLAR MIND preying on Christians with Crypto Gifting Scam or Facilitating Money Laundering?

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 12, 2024 159:31


    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.

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.

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.

    Read the FULL TRANSCRIPT on www.deHek.com. WEWE Global comes to Christchurch, got an email from David Farrier asking me to put together a few paragraphs explaining why this is not a good thing.For the last 12 months I've been exposing the Ponzi scheme HyperVerse, it is estimated that $4 billion has been lost to people that invested in this crypto opportunity of a lifetime.Originally people were told that if they invest $300 they would get $900 paid back to them in rewards in 600 days. Now they come out with different opportunities and rebrand themselves every few weeks.Like any Ponzi scheme it's impossible for them to survive. Once the money stopped, the lies started and the community got angry. The so-called ‘corporate' behind it all promised to return people's investments and claimed hackers had stolen the money. This is all part of the slow exit strategy.Many of the leadership team that have been promoting HyperVerse, who are called VIP5, jumped ship and started diversifying to other Ponzi schemes such as NovaTechFX and WEWE Global.One of the biggest multi-level marketers in the world who is promoting WEWE Global is Kalpesh Patel who has moved to Dubai. He recently travelled to South Africa running a promotion similar to Diego Endrizzi, who is travelling to 5 locations in New Zealand and Australia in February.WEWE Global Oceania Tour 2023Pullman Melbourne Albert Park Sat, 4 Feb 2023Novotel Sydney Parramatta Tue, 7 Feb 2023Novatel Christchurch Airport Thu, 9 Feb 2023InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort Sat, 11 Feb 2023Adelaide Convention Centre Wed, 15 Feb 2023These events are used to recruit new leaders and entice crypto investors into an opportunity of a lifetime. It is all multi-level marketing. They do not have a product or a service. They are selling a promise and a hope of big returns.I've tried to disrupt them as much as possible by contacting all the venues that are hosting the events, ‘WEWE Global Oceania Tour 2023'. I've also contacted the Serious Fraud Office who has lodged a complaint with the FMA.Don't be fooled by these men in suits who use crypto terminology. They are the scumbags of the planet, they are the modern day thieves who will rob you blind.The people that are falling victim are not youngsters, they are people heading into retirement who are trying to get their head around crypto, the blockchain, the ecosystem and the Metaverse. Many of the people that contact me on a daily basis have invested their retirement money and lost the lot. They didn't seem to fully understand what they had invested in. They trusted a friend or a family member who encouraged them to invest.I feel like I am fighting this battle alone, but if I can disrupt or slow these fraudsters down, I will do everything in my power to throw obstacles at them. They defraud people out of their hard earned dollars.I've created over 150 YouTube videos exposing Ponzi schemes and scams. I am currently investigating 50 like-minded Ponzi schemes. I haven't produced a video exposing WEWE Global yet (Maybe One).  Watch this Podcast on YouTube https://youtu.be/KNlUBDCwl7ESupport the show

    I had the privilege of interviewing two of the most respected EX Jehovah's Witnesses on the Internet, Kim & Mikey @KimMikeyex-jw. I needed some content so I used a new service called OpenAI and wrote this blog asking it for a parallel between Ponzi schemes and religious cults.Religious cults and Ponzi schemes are both forms of manipulation and exploitation that can cause significant harm to those involved. Both rely on persuasion, deception, and manipulation to recruit and retain members or victims, and both may use tactics such as secrecy, isolation, propaganda, and financial incentives to maintain control. Both may also use charismatic leaders to gain followers or victims, and both may exploit the trust and loyalty of those involved for personal gain. Both may cause significant harm to members or victims, including financial ruin and emotional trauma. It is important to be aware of the warning signs of these types of groups or schemes and to protect oneself from becoming a victim.There are several parallels between religious cults and people who run Ponzi schemes:TIME STAMPS / CHAPTERSDanny de Hek 00:00:00Kim Mikey 00:03:051) 00:24:30 Both rely on persuasion and manipulation to recruit and retain members/victims.2) 00:30:30 Both often use charismatic leaders to gain followers/victims.3) 00:38:10 Both may use secrecy and isolation to control members/victims and prevent them from leaving or speaking out.4) 00:48:30 Both may use propaganda and misinformation to maintain the loyalty of members/victims.5) 00:50:51 Both may use financial incentives to recruit and retain members/victims.6) 00:58:37 Both may use threats and intimidation to silence dissent and maintain control.7) 01:01:15 Both may prey on vulnerable individuals, such as those who are financially or emotionally distressed.8) 01:07:30 Both may use a sense of community or belonging to keep members/victims committed.9) 01:11:00 Both may exploit the trust and loyalty of members/victims for personal gain.10) 01:22:00 Both may cause significant harm to members/victims, including financial ruin and emotional trauma.11) 01:27:10 Both may use the guise of a legitimate organisation or cause to mask their true intentions.12) 01:31:34 Both may use techniques such as hypnosis or brainwashing to control members/victims.13) 01:37:20 Both may use group pressure and peer influence to coerce members/victims into compliance.14) 01:40:00 Both may use rewards and punishments to control behaviour and maintain loyalty.15) 01:42:15 Both may use emotional appeals and appeals to higher ideals to justify their actions.16) 01:44:00 Both may use the promise of a better future or a utopian vision to attract and retain members/victims.17) 01:47:50 Both may use fear and anxiety to control and manipulate members/victims.18) 01:49:15 Both may use legal and financial tactics to intimidate and silence dissent.19) 01:53:00 Both may use deceptive and manipulative language to mislead and deceive members/victims.20) 01:54:46 Both may engage in unethical and illegal activities to further their goals and protect their interests.Conclusion 01:59:00There are several modern day cults that have gained significant attention in recent years, including the Jehovah's Witnesses.

    It was an email from a friend offering a investment opportunity he couldn't turn down that  transformed Christchurch man DANNY : DE HEK into a self confessed Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger. Since that email de Hek has produced more than 130 videos taking apart the crypto currency investment, which he calls a dangerous and deceptive scheme. Recording from his Christchurch home he has caught the attention of the those pushing the scheme, including death threats, and his efforts have also been profiled in the New York Times.Danny says the whole thing is a typical multi level marketing scam, but because it uses the blockchain it makes it much harder to track down who is in charge, leaving those on the bottom, some of who have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, with nothing.Read The Full Article on RNZSupport the show

    [00:00:00] Danny de Hek: Hello, beautiful people. How are you doing? I'm Danny de Hek. Thank you for pressing play and listening to my video. I got to be in the New York Times. I got a whole page on Danny de Hek busting Ponzi scheme that they called me the Crypto Ponzi Scheme. Avenger, what a name. And that means I've actually gained some followers while people who subscribe to my YouTube channel.[00:00:25] Danny de Hek: So thank you so much. If you're one of those people, and you may not have seen my videos before, I record them like I'm live streaming. And then I upload them later on. I don't like editing much. I'm also dyslexic. So if you read my show notes and look at the timestamps, cuz you might wanna jump forward to the part you wanna watch, then you might find some spelling mistakes.[00:00:47] Danny de Hek: And I really love people who comment on my videos. It's your your choice. You can comment on this video and tell me what you think and if you hit the thumbs up button that tells YouTube you like my videos and it sends it out to the masses. And then I can help name and shame these people that are running Ponzi scheme.[00:01:05] Danny de Hek: And that's my main goal. My goal at the moment is to be a full-time YouTuber and it's not easy becoming a YouTuber. So I really value having you here. Now I'm gonna tell you a little bit of a story about something that happened last Friday that was before I was famous in the New York Times. Had a young fella from an SEO company telephoned.[00:01:25] Danny de Hek: Now, if you've got a small to medium sized business and you have a website, you're probably experiencing the same thing I'm experiencing. You get in emails every day from people. I delete these emails. The same people email me in two days time asking me if I had a chance to read their emails. So when someone tele phones me based in New Zealand where I'm from and claims that they can do the SEO for my website and don't really understand my business or have they really researched my business it really annoys me.[00:01:58] Danny de Hek: So this is the splash screen that we'll be doing today, website design and development companies. Sorry I said that wrong. Website design and development SEO companies. Are you being exploited? Is SEO a scam? Now I'm pretty aggressive to anyone that claims they can do my SEO, but. I take a lot of my SEO for granted because I have some good practices when I'm doing new content now I am everywhere.READ MORE at https://www.dehek.com/general/is-seo-a-scam-how-to-combat-sneaky-misleading-sales-tactics-unsolicited-email-phone-call-pitches/Support the show

    Host DANNY : DE HEK Guest MICHAEL HEMPSEED [00:00:00] DANNY : DE HEK: Are you a Ponzi scheme victim? Are you contemplating suicide? That question has proven to be a lifesaver. If you have a friend or a family member who may be isolated, who you know that is involved in crypto opportunities, the best question you could ask them right now with all the doom and gloom that's going on in the crypto.[00:00:29] DANNY : DE HEK: Is, are you contemplating suicide? What do you do if somebody comes back and says, Yes, I am today's Tube Cast and podcast. I have a guest speaker by the name of Michael Hemps Seed, and he talks about his experience in helping people who have mental illness. He's an author of a book called Being a True Hero, Understanding and Preventing Suicide in our Community.[00:01:01] DANNY : DE HEK: He's also a 10 x speaker and he's willing to help people over Zoom who reach out to him, and he will give you some practical advice that you may be able to give to a friend or reach out to him if you do have those thoughts. He's willing to help. There's so many pyramid schemes, multi-level marketing opportunities, Ponzi schemes, and online scam.[00:01:27] DANNY : DE HEK: Going around at the moment and people around the globe are getting scammed out of billions of dollars. Have you ever thought about where that money is actually coming from? The demographics of people that are being scammed is actually 50 and above going by my research. They get involved in these Zoom meetings.[00:01:51] DANNY : DE HEK: They listen to people's stories who are investing hundreds of thousands of dollars. And telling people how wonderful it is and how they're getting their return on their investment. They're preaching a message of doom and gloom, telling people that pensions are not safe. I have personally interviewed two people that have taken all of their pension funds out and put it into HyperVerse being told that within 600 days they're going to get three times their.[00:02:24] DANNY : DE HEK: When I first started doing these videos exposing Ponzi schemes, I thought people were greedy. I thought, Did you really think that people were gonna get three or four times their return on their investment in such a short period of time? But when I interviewed these people that were about to retire and they tell me their stories, I realized that.[00:02:52] DANNY : DE HEK: Had been fooled. If so, if you are a victim, don't feel that you were silly. A lot of people will not talk to me about their losing their them losing their investment. In fact, they clamber, they keep it to themselves. They isolate themselves. Often they're widowed or widowers, and they've literally lost their life savings.[00:03:20] DANNY : DE HEK: They are home alone. And that's why we need to, as a community, reach out to these people and maybe ask them that very question, Are you contemplating suicide? I have asked multiple people that question, and it has always turned out for the better. No one has ever told me off for asking such a personal question.READ MORE --> Are you a HyperNation Ponzi Scheme Victim, Contemplating Suicide? Understanding & Preventing SuicideSupport the show
