Romance & Pig Butchering Scams

Who we help

Victims of online romance fraud, pig butchering (sha zhu pan) schemes, military impersonation scams, and relationship-based investment fraud — regardless of gender, age, or background.

Pig butchering scams have defrauded victims of over $75 billion globally. The combination of emotional manipulation and fake trading platforms makes these among the most devastating fraud types — and the most underreported.

Blackstone treats every romance scam case with absolute confidentiality. Our investigators focus on financial evidence — wallet addresses, platform infrastructure, and payment trails — not on how the relationship began.

Crypto-heavy romance cases benefit from the same blockchain forensics as our dedicated crypto recovery practice. The sooner you report, the more likely we can intercept funds at exchange off-ramps.

I was embarrassed to come forward about a romance scam. The team treated me with complete respect. They traced crypto transfers and built a case that led to partial recovery. Honest about what was possible from day one.

I lost over $90k to a fake crypto trading platform. Blackstone traced the wallets within days and coordinated with an exchange to freeze remaining funds. Recovered the majority within 4 months. Professional, transparent, and never pressured me for more money.

My broker blocked withdrawals after I deposited $35k. Blackstone identified the clone firm and filed regulatory complaints. They recovered most of my funds through a chargeback pathway I didn't know existed. Highly recommend.

Ponzi scheme collapsed and I thought my retirement was gone. Blackstone's forensic team mapped the fund flows and joined a collective action. Substantial recovery achieved. Worth every penny of their fee.
