I’ll tell my story later in this post. The money I lost was the limit I set going into this, so I am okay. I want to now help prevent others from potentially losing their life savings to this possible pig butchering. Currently they are launching a New Token – CIX – on VZND.com today or tomorrow. I uploaded a screenshot of the webpage earlier in this questionnaire. This fits the classic pig butchering escalation pattern: • After fattening the victim with fake profits on the main platform (VZND.com in this case), scammers introduce a "new exclusive launch" or "VIP token" like CIX. • They hype massive scale (e.g., aiming for ~490 million CIX tokens subscribed at ~$1.8964 each, which would imply fundraising on the order of nearly $1 billion USDT—completely unrealistic for a legitimate new token without major institutional backing and transparent audits). • Promises of huge ROI, early access, or "guaranteed" gains follow, pressuring quick deposits to "secure your allocation" before a supposed public launch or price pump. Key reasons this screams scam: • No credible, verifiable evidence of a legitimate CIX token launch tied to VZND.com shows up in public crypto sources, major exchanges, CoinMarketCap listings (beyond unrelated older projects like Centurion Invest's CIX, which itself has scam complaints and low credibility), blockchain explorers, or recent news as a hot new 2026 token. • Legitimate token launches (e.g., via ICO/IDO, fair launch, or VC-backed) don't involve random personal contacts pushing subscriptions for hundreds of millions in USDT via shady platforms. Real ones are announced publicly with whitepapers, audits (e.g., Certik), team dox, and listings on reputable DEXs/CEXs first. • The scale (~$930M+ implied raise at that price) is absurd without massive hype/pre-announcements—compare to real big launches; even top ones rarely hit that privately/subscription-style without red flags. • Pig butchering ops frequently rotate "new" fake tokens or platforms to keep victims depositing more (often requiring "upgrades," "fees," or "taxes" to withdraw, leading to total loss). I got into this mess by replying on Twitter to NoLimitGains (who has 1.3 Million followers) who said" Btw, if you want my $0-$1M guide, comment "Guide" and check your DMS" on January 19. My reply has been erased as has the Direct Message from NoLimitGains that had me thinking I was receiving trading advice from NoLimitGains. The DM directed me to link up with “Nathan” on WhatsApp with the phone number listed elsewhere. I was later told to contact “his assistant Isabella” who handles “finances” on WhatsApp with the 216 phone number listed elseswhere. Nathan directed me to send funds to VZND where he helped me more than “triple” my account mostly through short term 3–5-minute options on BTC ("Second Contracts"). His hit rate was about 75%. The goal was to make enough funds – 100,000 USDT to buy into the NDX subscription. I did not quite reach 100,000 USDT but was still allowed to subscribe. On March 2, ZeroHedge published a February 27 Bitcoin Magazine article on pig butchering scams describing exactly what I had experienced. I called the Scam Center Task Force hotline at heir 202 Area Code number on March 2 and March 4, leaving a message briefly describing my experience with VZND and NDX. I have not heard back from them. I also filed an IC3 complaint on March 11. NDX’s price is now listed at almost 10 times my buy in price, but I now have to pay 10% “miner’s fees” to sell. When I told Nathan I had no more money, he offered to front me the fees if I would pay him $3,000 of the commission I will owe him once I realize the profits from the sale of NDX. That's where we stand. The best thing I can do now is to get the word out so that others will not fall for this and perhaps lose their life savings.
