What’s interesting in this case is that it’s a female that got scammed. “Pig Butchering Scheme” is a strange name to call it.

- AussieWog93 3y agoIt comes from a Chinese analogy/metaphor. First you feed the pig to fatten it up, then when you're ready you butcher it. Pig butchers will often spend weeks or months building up trust in a specific victim without even hinting at money.
- jowea 3y agoThe latest report lacks this information, but the 2010 FBI report has this to say. > The gender gap in crime reporting has dramatically narrowed. Early in IC3’s history, men reported crime at a ratio of more than 2.5 to 1 over women. Today, men and women report crimes almost equally. In many states, a slightly higher proportion of women than men report crimes to IC3. The narrowed reporting gap between the sexes has significantly impacted the dollar loss between men and women over the last 10 years. During the course of IC3’s early history, men reported a loss of more than $2.00 for every $1.00 reported by a woman. According to the 2010 data, men now report a loss of $1.25 for every $1.00 reported by a woman. [0] The SCMP[1] and this non-profit[2] say a majority of victim are women.
