It started with a wrong-number text or a dating app match. It ended with your savings in a stranger's wallet. That wallet has an address, and every coin it touches is on record. No win, no fee. $0 upfront.
The name comes from the Chinese "Sha Zhu Pan": fatten the pig before the slaughter. The scammer spends weeks or months building a relationship. They never rush. They introduce you to a trading platform that shows incredible returns. You test it with a small amount. The withdrawal works, because they let it. Then you go big.
Then the withdrawal fails. There is a "tax" to pay, then a "verification fee," then silence. The person you trusted was a script, and the platform was a prop.
Here is what the scammers cannot fake: the blockchain. Every transfer you made went to real addresses. Those addresses connect to other addresses, and eventually to exchanges where the criminal organization converts crypto to cash. That cash-out point is where we freeze them.
These operations run hundreds of victims through the same wallet infrastructure. That volume creates patterns our forensic tools detect. Your case may connect to wallets we already track.
Crypto sitting in a wallet is useless to them. They need fiat, and fiat requires exchanges, OTC desks or payment processors. Every one of those is a legal pressure point.
If your scammer's wallets match an operation we are already pursuing, your claim can join an active file. Shared forensic work, shared legal pressure, faster results.
Do not delete the chats, even if they are painful to read. They are evidence.
Canadians reported over $500 million lost to investment fraud last year, and pig butchering is the fastest-growing category. The victims include a physician in Toronto, a retired RCMP officer in BC, a financial analyst in Montreal. Intelligence does not protect against a script refined on ten thousand targets before you.
What protects you now is speed. The criminal organization is still cashing out. Every week that passes, more of your money exits through exchanges. A free 24-hour trace tells you whether your coins are still within reach.
