5. The U.S. SEC sued five companies, accusing them of allegedly implementing the "pig killing" scam. This is the first time the SEC has taken law enforcement action against this type of crypto scam.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has filed lawsuits against three individuals and five companies for allegedly operating a "pig killing plate" scam. The two lawsuits filed on Tuesday are the SEC's first enforcement actions against this type of crypto scam, just one day before the U.S. House Financial Services Committee is set to hold a hearing on the "pig killing plate" scam. “Relationship-based investing scams, including those involving crypto asset investments, pose a significant risk to retail investors, and the threat is growing rapidly as these scams become more popular among scammers,” Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division, said in a press statement. “In both cases, we allege that the scammers created fake crypto ecosystems and presented investors with false information. Our charges serve as a reminder for the public to be wary of investment opportunities promoted by strangers on social media.” The SEC’s complaint against the alleged crypto trading platform NanoBit alleges that participants in the scheme — including three U.S. residents named in the lawsuit, 28-year-old Jiajie Liu of Los Angeles, California, 29-year-old Fei Liao of San Gabriel, California, and 26-year-old Hua Zhao of Flushing, New York — worked together to run a fraudulent scheme that defrauded at least 18 investors of nearly $1 million in crypto assets and fiat currency. Another lawsuit, filed against another fake crypto trading platform called CoinW6, alleges that unnamed participants in the scheme defrauded at least 11 investors of $2.2 million between July 2022 and December 2023.

While it’s uncertain whether the incident was deliberate or a true hack, Shou confirmed that approximately $4.9 million worth of cryptocurrency was stolen in the process. Shezmu subsequently confirmed that one of its ShezmuUSD (ShezUSD) stablecoin repositories had been hacked, and proactively urged the hacker to return the funds in exchange for a bounty without any legal consequences. The hacker responded to the request by asking for a 20% bounty, rather than the initial 10%, which Shezmu agreed to pay. Within hours, Shezmu began recovering the stolen funds, but at the time of writing, not all funds have been recovered, and the Shezmu team urged investors to limit interaction with the protocol’s Oasis vault until further updates are available. -Original text
