BTC01.org Pig Butchering Scam: How Victims Are Tricked and How to Recover Your Crypto
The world of cryptocurrency offers unprecedented opportunities—but it also attracts some of the most sophisticated scams. One of the fastest-growing and most devastating types is the “pig butchering” scam, and one website that’s come under heavy suspicion for this is BTC01.org.
In this exposé, brought to you by Forteclaim, we break down how BTC01.org operates, how pig butchering scams work, and what to do if you or someone you know has been a victim.
What is a Pig Butchering Scam?
The term “pig butchering” comes from a cruel metaphor: scammers “fatten up” their victims—emotionally and financially—before “butchering” them by draining their cryptocurrency wallets.
Here’s how it usually works:
- The scammer initiates a seemingly innocent conversation, often on dating apps or social media.
- Over weeks (sometimes months), they build trust and emotional connection.
- They gradually introduce cryptocurrency investing and convince the victim to join a platform—like BTC01.org—where fake profits are displayed to encourage more deposits.
- Once the victim invests heavily, withdrawals are either blocked, or additional “fees” are demanded.
- The scammer disappears, and the platform goes silent.
BTC01.org has been repeatedly flagged as part of this kind of sophisticated and emotionally manipulative scheme.
How BTC01.org Operates
BTC01.org markets itself as a cryptocurrency trading and investment platform. It boasts a sleek interface, fake testimonials, and often shows impressive returns on small initial investments. But all of it is smoke and mirrors.
Key Warning Signs:
- No regulatory compliance: BTC01.org is not licensed by any financial authority. Legit platforms like Coinbase or Kraken are heavily regulated.
- Withdrawal restrictions: Victims report being unable to withdraw funds unless they pay bogus “tax” or “verification” fees.
- Fake dashboards: The trading performance shown on BTC01.org is entirely fabricated. There is no real trading occurring in the background.
- Fake customer service: “Support agents” only respond until you start requesting withdrawals—then they vanish.
Real Victims, Real Losses
Forteclaim Firm has been approached by multiple clients who lost between $10,000 and $200,000 through BTC01.org.
One victim recounted meeting a woman on Instagram who slowly introduced him to the idea of “crypto arbitrage.” She walked him through using BTC01.org, where his balance seemingly grew fast. He was encouraged to deposit more—up to $70,000. But when he tried to withdraw $10,000, the site demanded a 20% “tax” paid in advance. After paying, his account was frozen.
This is the essence of pig butchering—emotional manipulation followed by financial devastation.
How to Know You’re Dealing with a Scam
If you’re unsure whether a crypto platform is legitimate, ask yourself:
- Are there unexpected fees or taxes?
- Is the website registered and regulated?
- Are you being pressured to deposit more money?
- Is someone you met online coaching you into using a specific platform?
- Are you denied withdrawals or told to pay to unlock your own funds?
If the answer is yes to any of these, you may be in the middle of a scam.
