PIG BUTCHER SCAM - (Perpetrator :Victor Sloan/ Victor Sloane) In July 2025, I met a guy on Instagram named Victor Sloan. He presented himself as a young Italian millionaire, has a house in Manhattan Beach, CA but currently lives in New York. He loves camping, travel, workout (pretty much mirrored my hobbies). He eventually became a love interest, and our conversations continued in WhatsApp. He messaged me every day, sent me gift, and pretty much “love bombed” me. He wanted us to be together and wanted me to become rich like him. He told me to register to a website called LBMA (a fake affiliation of London Bullion Market Association) where I can trade gold spots (XAUUSD) with him. Our plan was to use the profit to pay my debts, buy a house, adopt a kid, etc. The deposits I made were from my US bank wired to Coinbase. From Coinbase, I purchased Ethereum cryptocurrency and transferred to Base App (formerly Coinbase wallet). From Base App, crypto was deposited to the fraudulent wallet (LBMA). He walked me through this procedure, and this went on for three months. He would even match my deposits to increase the principal, thus, gain more profits and gain his trust. He eventually persuaded me to liquidate my stocks and 401K retirement account, which I was a fool to do so. In September 2025, after my largest deposit, Me and Victor traded on the platform and gained lots of profits. When I decided to withdraw, the platform wouldn’t allow me unless I pay a hefty amount of taxes. I asked for a tax statement and the platform won’t give one. I asked Victor for help, but he wouldn’t. He even pushed me to deposit more money to pay the taxes. This is where I realized I was scammed. I lost a total of $250,000 USD.
