Alabama Recovers $125K in Crypto from Pig Butchering Scams

Alabama’s Securities Commission (ASC) has reclaimed $125,000 in crypto for two residents who lost a combined $580,000 to ‘pig butchering’ scams—a form of romance fraud where victims are lured into fake crypto investments. The Baldwin County victim lost $185,000 after meeting a scammer on Bumble, while the Etowah County victim was defrauded of $395,310 via a WhatsApp ad impersonating Charles Schwab. Pig butchering scams now account for 33.2% of global crypto fraud ($9.9 billion in 2024), with criminals shifting to shorter cons to target more victims. The ASC warns that delays in reporting drastically reduce recovery chances, as most scams originate overseas with irreversible transactions. Federal authorities have sanctioned entities like Philippines-based Funnull Technology for enabling such schemes.
