Crypen.com Review: Techcrisis Investment Guild and TGD Token Pig-Butchering Scheme
Author: BYRP (Blockchain & Yield Risk Publications)
Published by: ForteClaim
Overview
crypen.com has been reported in connection with a coordinated pig-butchering style crypto investment scheme involving an online group known as Techcrisis Investment Guild and the promotion of TGD tokens. Victims report being recruited through private groups, taught crypto trading concepts, and encouraged to invest using the crypen.com platform and TGD-branded tokens.
Account balances reportedly appeared to grow, reinforcing trust and prompting larger deposits — a well-documented tactic used in controlled trading and fake token scams.
This review documents how the group operates, the role of crypen.com, and why TGD tokens present significant risk.
How the Scheme Operated: Techcrisis Investment Guild
Victims report first encountering the opportunity through Techcrisis Investment Guild, an online investment group that claimed to:
- provide crypto trading education
- share trading strategies and signals
- guide members toward profitable investments
- operate as a professional “investment guild”
The group cultivated authority by presenting itself as an educational collective rather than a sales operation — a common trust-building tactic in pig-butchering scams.
Direction to Crypen.com
After trust was established, members were instructed to:
- open accounts on crypen.com
- deposit cryptocurrency
- follow group guidance for trading or token investment
Crypen.com was presented as:
- the preferred trading platform
- compatible with the group’s strategies
- necessary for participating in the opportunity
Victims report that once funds were deposited, account dashboards displayed steady growth, reinforcing confidence in both the platform and the guild.
Promotion of TGD Tokens
A central component of the scheme involved TGD tokens, which were promoted as:
- high-potential crypto assets
- early-stage or insider opportunities
- tokens expected to appreciate rapidly
Victims were encouraged to acquire or trade TGD tokens through crypen.com as part of the strategy.
However, reported issues include:
- lack of verifiable exchange listings
- limited or non-existent liquidity
- difficulty selling or withdrawing token value
- dependency on the same platform for access
This structure is consistent with fake token or liquidity trap scams, where tokens appear valuable on paper but cannot be exited in practice.
Simulated Profits and Escalation
As participation continued:
- balances appeared to increase
- profits were displayed within the platform
- the group encouraged larger investments
- urgency and confidence were reinforced
In pig-butchering scams, these profits are typically simulated, not derived from real market activity. The platform controls both pricing and balances to encourage escalation.
Scam Indicators Identified
The crypen.com / Techcrisis Investment Guild / TGD token cluster displays multiple high-risk indicators:
- private group recruitment
- authority-based “investment guild” branding
- redirection to a single trading platform
- promotion of illiquid or unverifiable tokens
- simulated account growth
- lack of transparent regulation or audits
These indicators align with pig-butchering scams, fake exchange operations, and token liquidity traps.

Final Assessment
Based on coordinated recruitment through Techcrisis Investment Guild, the use of crypen.com as a controlled trading environment, and the promotion of TGD tokens with restricted liquidity, this operation exhibits multiple high-risk indicators consistent with a pig-butchering crypto scam combined with a fake token scheme. Investors are strongly advised to avoid this cluster and exercise caution with any investment introduced through private “guild” or “education” groups.
