How agents investigate pig butchering and other scams
Q: What exactly is pig butchering and where did the name come from?
Pig butchering is a long-term scam that blends romance or friendship-building with a cryptocurrency investment pitch, gradually convincing victims to invest more until they lose substantial funds; the name originates from a Chinese term referring to fattening a pig before slaughter, illustrating how scams are nurtured over time.
