On this episode of the Coin Stories podcast, Natalie Brunell and Erin West talk about:

• Who these investment scams target and why they’re so dangerous.

• How transnational organized crime uses job scams, human trafficking, and forced labor to commit the crimes.

• Last month’s $15 billion pig butchering bust by the Department of Justice — and details about Chen Zhi, the man behind it.

• How Binance has helped in the fight against these scams and how blockchain ledgers help in the scam investigations.

• How you can protect yourself from scams. Although most people say, “this could never happen to me,” crime organizations spend substantial time and money developing the psychological manipulation that makes it work.
