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 evidence

THIS 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.

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.

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.

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 AWS
• Their phony PR campaign built on paid Forbes placements, fake Yahoo Finance write-ups, and no-name news sites passing off ads as journalism
• Bell Gully’s attempts to intimidate me with weak legal letters while completely ignoring the facts
• A deep dive into the so-called “independent” media reports that were actually advertorials and PR fluff
• Why their entire business model looks like another crypto Ponzi scheme in disguise, propped up by buzzwords and zero proof of real clients

You’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. Do your due diligence.

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 phrase

They 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? To lure victims into a fake recovery process that actually hands over full access to their crypto wallet.

🔐 *KEY LESSON:*

Never, under any circumstances, give your seed phrase to anyone.
Not Binance. Not Trust Wallet. Not “support.”
If someone asks for it—they’re trying to rob you.

💣 This is the same scam targeting Mum and Dad investors around the world. And I’m not having it.

This channel is dedicated to calling out Ponzi schemes, MLM grifters, and crypto scam artists who prey on everyday people trying to secure their financial future.

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 LunaOne

LunaOne, 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 Tokens

The 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:

Misleading Marketing & Red Flags

LunaOne 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.

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 Flags

Ethan 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 Everything

Shortly 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.

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 top

VYB’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!

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 Call

I 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 You

Scammers rely on manipulation and trust-building to make their victims comply. Here’s how they tried to trick me:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Insisting on face recognition – They repeatedly tried to get me to enable biometric authentication, claiming it was the safest way to protect my funds.
5. 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 Recognition

To 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 Binance

While 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!
