Where did pig butchering scams originate?

Pig butchering scams originated in 2020 as a regional scam in China and later spread throughout Southeast Asia at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Sihanoukville, Cambodia —once a prosperous gambling town—many local gambling gangs transformed casinos into scam operation centers performing pig butchering scams.

Are pig butchering scams coming to Southeast Asia?

The Chinese government cracked down on cryptocurrency scams beginning in 2021, but criminals have been able to move their pig butchering operations to Southeast Asian countries including Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Governments around the world have increasingly been warning about the threat.

What is pig butchering?

Now, a new variation of these schemes, known as “pig butchering,” is on the rise, ensnaring unsuspecting targets to steal all of their money and operating at a massive scale thanks in large part to forced labor.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
