Second and third rounds on the dossier pipeline, reviewed locally before commit. Retrieval - wayback_pass.py: retries every BLOCKED/DEAD/THIN/ERROR linked source through the Wayback Machine; blocks carry the snapshot date, archive URL and the live verdict. 143 slots retried: 93 fetched, 37 no snapshot, 12 script shells, 1 PDF. - fetch_sources.py: fetch_wayback() helper. - add_extra_sources.py: files staged extra_* finds (web search, not on the DB record) into the store with a provenance note. - Cases re-sourced by web search: 248 (Oslo: Document.no, Avisa Oslo, NRK; the linked Le Parisien piece is case 242 and is marked OFF-CASE), 258 Kharkiv, 260 Singapore, 358 Bangkok, 365 Las Vegas, 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine, 390 Zoersel, 430 Homestead. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article; 11, 66 and 399 have no public text source (podcast, police video, direct victim report). Trimming - auto_trim.py: case-anchored furniture cut for UNTRIMMED blocks. Finds the body run that mentions the case, merges across subheadings and short furniture gaps, drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and subscription pitches; refuses pages with no record term or almost no body. 302 blocks trimmed; 16 left on auto-trim-review.md (7 OFF-CASE suspects).

Men jailed for armed robbery using cryptocurrency exchange
|
|
Two armed robbers who forced their victims to open cryptocurrency accounts at gunpoint in a bid to covertly steal money have been jailed.
|
|
Jordan Barrett, 23, and Ted Richards, 24, used a crypto-exchange website to try and hide their tracks and cheat justice.
|
|
They targeted the house in Moorhouse Road, Carlisle, in February 2020.
|
|
At Carlisle Crown Court, both men admitted two counts of robbery and two counts of false imprisonment.
|
|
Barrett and Richards targeted the property because Barrett believed a third man living there had been the driver in a collision which seriously injured his girlfriend, the court heard.
|
|
Armed with a starter pistol and a knife, the masked duo "took the victims' phones, forced them to unlock them and then log into their online bank accounts in order to move money between the accounts," prosecutor Hannah Forsyth said.
|
|
After cash was transferred, Barrett and Richards then tried to deposit £3,500 from one account to a cryptocurrency exchange website.
|
|
Cumbria ConstabularyThe victims believed the gun, a starter pistol bought on the internet, was a deadly firearm
|
|
They forced their victims to hold up ID while photos were taken and attempts were made to open bogus accounts in their names.
|
|
"While the male with the knife took the pictures and forced the victims to move money between accounts, the man with the pistol stood over the others and pointed the gun - which had a torch and laser on it - at them," Ms Forsyth said.
|
|
"Terrifying ordeal"
|
|
When a friend arrived at the property, one victim was urged to make him leave and warned: "Don't do anything stupid and you won't get hurt", the court was told.
|
|
Barrett and Richards stole a games console and iPhone before Barrett fired the imitation firearm outside the property "as a warning".
|
|
Police were alerted before the fake cryptocurrency accounts could be authenticated. Detectives and financial investigators carried out an inquiry and found the gun at Barrett's address. DNA found on the magazine and trigger belonged to Richards.
|
|
Judge Nicholas Barker jailed Barrett, of Red Bank Square, Carlisle, for six years nine months and Richards, of Empire Square, Southwark, London, for six years.
|
|
The judge said their victims were subjected to a "terrifying ordeal" as they believed the gun was genuine.
|
|
One victim said he had since suffered from depression and anxiety, while the other man suffered nightmares and anxiety, and felt vulnerable in his own home.
|
|
Following sentencing, Det Supt Jenny Beattie, of Cumbria Police, said: "The determination shown by the investigation team has been unwavering in carrying out the inquires which has led to a successful conviction.
|
|
"The team's efforts are particularly impressive given the circumstances of how the criminals forced the victims to create cryptocurrency accounts, so they could attempt to evade identification, is believed to be a first to be put before a court in this country."
