Paradoks Hukum Rekayasa Sosial Pig Butchering Scam Dalam Investasi Digital Aset Kripto

This normative legal study analyzes legislation, regulations, doctrine, and secondary legal literature concerning social engineering in cryptocurrency pig-butchering scams. It organizes the scheme into three operational stages: hunting, in which an offender approaches a target through a false identity; fattening or care, in which daily messages and relationship promises build trust; and slaughter, in which the relationship is converted into financial extraction. The article uses this process to examine tensions in applying existing legal concepts to digitally mediated manipulation and investment fraud. It is a conceptual and doctrinal analysis, not an empirical study of victims, offenders, platforms, transactions, investigations, or court outcomes, so the three-stage description is an analytical model rather than a prevalence finding.
