You're right that this place is ridiculous. However, as I mentioned in a cousin comment, I don't see the stigma and you haven't done a good job of explaining it.

Is it because the word "pig" implies that the victim hasn't kept Kosher and that the scam is god's punishment for that? Is there a general consensus that people who are "butchered" deserve to be murdered? This stigma was obvious and immediate for you, but I'm not picking it up. I don't wish to perpetuate the stigma, but you haven't shared what it is.




As far as I know the "pig" part is about fattening (increasing trust and and thus the payout) them up before butchering (scam exit). Really doesn't seem like victim shaming. If anything it makes me feel worse for the victim because its a long con involving trust and feelings.
