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.
