Michael Popovich EXPOSED: Faith-Based Fraud, VIDME Lies & Cult Tactics Revealed

Welcome back to the channel — I’m Danny de Hek, known online as The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger. In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain on Michael Popovich, the so-called pastor and founder of “Freedom Ministries,” who has now been accused of running one of the most manipulative affinity fraud operations we’ve seen in years.

⚠️ *THIS ISN’T JUST ANOTHER CRYPTO PONZI SCHEME. THIS IS SPIRITUAL ABUSE*.

Michael Popovich has been using his 501(c)(3) nonprofit church as a front for a for-profit scam, taking money from vulnerable believers under the promise of “God’s abundance” while secretly setting up fake affiliate accounts, recruiting MLM leaders, and building a pyramid-style scheme under the name VIDME.

🔎 *IN THIS VIDEO, I’LL SHOW YOU*:

- How Popovich exploited faith to solicit “investments” into VIDME.
- The real story behind VIDME and how it was secretly structured as a multi-level marketing platform.
- Documents and evidence showing faked affiliate signups, manipulated dashboards, and Stripe payment links being sent without board approval.
- Zoom calls disguised as prayer sessions, where emotionally vulnerable people — including single mothers — were preyed on for money.
- Testimonies from former insiders and whistleblowers who helped us build this investigation.
- Why Popovich's business partner Chris Miller is now taking legal action and how law enforcement is getting involved.

💣 *WHY THIS MATTERS*:

VIDME was pitched as a revolutionary platform to help faith-based creators share their message. But underneath the surface was a pyramid of lies — with a cult-style leader at the top, benefiting from the blind trust of his followers.

And while Popovich was pouring wine on Zoom calls and promising abundance, victims were emptying their bank accounts.

I’m here to shine a spotlight on this — because people are being hurt.

This is Part One of a growing exposé. More videos, more evidence, and more names will follow.
