At Lost Coin Rescue, we see the devastating impact of crypto scams every day — but some cases remind us just how high the stakes can be.
Recently, our team successfully recovered $1,825,000.00 for a Florida client who fell victim to a “pig butchering” scheme. The scam began when the client met a woman on a dating site. What started as casual conversation quickly turned into encouragement to invest in a fraudulent crypto platform. Like so many victims of this type of scam, he was persuaded to deposit more and more, with the promise of extraordinary returns. By the time he realized the truth, nearly two million dollars had been siphoned away.
How We Responded
From the very first call, our investigators and legal specialists moved quickly. Using blockchain forensics, we traced the stolen assets across multiple wallets and exchanges. This was not an easy case — pig butchering scams are often tied to international networks that rapidly move funds. Despite this, our tracing work identified significant amounts still sitting in accessible wallets.
Our legal department then escalated the findings, ensuring swift action to prevent further laundering. Within weeks, we secured a recovery of more than $1.8 million.
Why This Recovery Matters
For our client, the money was life-changing — savings that had taken years to build. Beyond the financial victory, the recovery brought peace of mind and accountability. Knowing that someone fought back against the scammers gave our client a sense of justice and closure.
A Reminder for Everyone
Pig butchering scams are rising at alarming rates, often starting with friendly chats on dating apps or social media. They are carefully designed to gain trust and then drain victims over time.
At Lost Coin Rescue, we want victims to know: you are not alone, and recovery is possible. We never charge upfront fees — we only succeed when you do.
