Erin is leading the charge in education, prosecution, and victim advocacy in the complex world of pig butchering which is a combination of a romance and cryptocurrency scam.

Pig butchering is worse than just manipulating someone and taking their money. It leaves them with emotional anguish. Once their finances have been drained, they lose their financial security and they no longer trust people. Today's guest is Erin West. Erin has been with the County of Santa Clara for 26 years and is a Deputy District Attorney. She specializes in cryptocurrency investigations and prosecutions. Show Notes: [0:46] - Erin shares her background and what her role is as a Deputy District Attorney in Santa Clara County. [3:20] - Five years ago, Erin found herself working on prosecutions regarding SIM swapping and cryptocurrency hacks. [4:35] - The emotional impact of “just a financial crime,” is staggering. [7:38] - You never know who around you is a victim of some of these crimes. [8:18] - Erin describes the experience of being convinced to click a link herself. [10:32] - Scammers will think about different things that would trigger someone into clicking a link. [13:40] - Pig butchering involves building trust with a victim and showing them a false plush lifestyle. [16:08] - A red flag is a text or social media message you may receive that seems misdirected or to a wrong number. [19:21] - It feels like the right thing to do when we feel the need to respond to the scammer with a “you've got the wrong number,” but that's how they start a conversation. [22:29] - In many cases, scammers bulk text a massive amount of phone numbers. But some people are specifically targeted on social media. [24:23] - Covid really accelerated this type of scam due to loneliness. [25:40] - A misconception is that these scams target the elderly. But it is not based on age at all. [27:03] - Unfortunately, law enforcement is not set up to be able to handle this type of crime. [28:18] - Erin explains that law enforcement doesn't tend to always lead with empathy when this type of crime is reported. [30:12] - It is important to report the crime to local law enforcement, but there are other places that the crime can be reported to in addition. [32:50] - Victims should be able to speak to a detective. [34:33] - Victims should be very wary of third party recovery programs. [37:26] - On the other side of things, a scammer could also be a victim of human trafficking and being forced to scam others. [39:40] - Scams are being operated on a massive scale and have a front of a corporate business. [41:14] - Initially, most of the cases seemed to have money moved out of the country. However, recently scammers have been found to be operating in the US. [44:04] - There is some hope and opportunities in recent months where money laundering has been intercepted. [46:41] - Progress in education and advocating for less victim shaming is moving in the right direction. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

I love how Erin emphasizes the importance of bringing the feminine principle into our relationship with money. Her insights about using our body's wisdom in trading and financial decisions are truly revolutionary. Remember, your body holds deep wisdom about money, wealth and abundance.

In this episode TRM's Ari Redbord sat down with Santa Clara Prosecutor Erin West of REACT Task Force at ACAMS in Las Vegas. Erin, the conference's keynote speaker, discussed her journey and why she has a laser focus on rooting out "pig butchering." In pig butchering, also-known-as "romance scams," scammers encounter victims on dating sites, social media websites, or even random texts masquerading as a wrong number. Scammers initiate relationships with victims and slowly gain their trust, eventually introducing the idea of making a business investment using cryptocurrency. Victims are persuaded to invest money and once the money is sent to the fake investment app, the scammer vanishes with all the victim's money. The term “pig butchering” comes from the idea of “fattening” up the victim as much as possible before stealing the money. These cases often involve victims who have lost their life savings, leaving the victims devastated and desperate for help. In this episode, Erin discusses the scourge of pig butchering and how she is leveraging blockchain intelligence to counter the threat including through the Tracer Fellowship program, a partnership with TRM Labs and her Crypto Coalition, through which TRM is offering a 12-month fellowship program which will award a select number of active law enforcement investigators free active to TRM's platform.

She could either continue on with a high-achieving life that left her exhausted, stressed and with challenging physical symptoms. Or she could redesign her life to be aligned with what made her feel most fully herself. She chose the latter. During what she calls her "blank slate" period, she slow-traveled globally with her kids and began learning to trade stocks for income. Eventually her friends, who were still tired and stressed themselves, began to ask her to teach them how to trade. In early 2022, she began teaching them and has continued teaching women this powerful sovereignty practice that is an essential tool for self-inquiry and living the soft life.
