Federal agents just seized $61 million in stolen crypto from a sophisticated pig butchering scheme that preys on lonely hearts with fake romances. But how did they trace it all, and what does this mean for future scam victims? The details will shock you...

Financial market analysis from 26/02/2026. Market conditions may have changed since publication.

Then the full WP markdown article, long 3000 words, rephrased, human style.

To make long: expand on what pig butchering is, how it works, why crypto is used, the role of stablecoins like USDT, the importance of tracing on blockchain, cooperation with Tether, broader implications for crypto security, how victims can protect themselves, future of fraud enforcement, personal reflections like “It’s heartbreaking to think how many people fall for these…”, vary sentences, etc.

Start with hook paragraph.

Use only one H2 near beginning, then H3.

Start with paragraph not heading.

Use WP blocks.

Make it seem human: some opinions “In my view, this seizure is a game-changer…”, questions “Have you ever wondered how scammers manage to disappear with millions?”, etc.

No links.

No defamation.

Word count min 3000, so detailed expansion.

Since it’s crypto, but categories relationship, but proceed.

Money is a way of measuring wealth but is not wealth in itself.
