Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it. - stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before. - staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases. - sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR). - sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner. Files previously committed with CRLF are now LF. - wayback-availability.json: Wayback snapshots exist for 73 of the 98 failed URL slots; input for an archive-fetch pass. - README-START-HERE.md: progress note and next step. verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).

In Kyiv, a Man Was Forced to Hand Over Bitcoin Worth Nearly $50,000
|
|
In Kyiv, three men coerced Alexey Sherstnev, a cryptocurrency trader and consultant, into surrendering his Bitcoin holdings. Sherstnev shared the incident on his Facebook page, describing three hours of torture where the assailants demanded Bitcoin. The attackers, described as strong men, beat and threatened to kill him.
|
|
|
|
The incident took place on the evening of September 4 inside the Santa Muerte club on Yaroslaviv Val Street. Sherstnev was contacted by a man who asked to meet for a cryptocurrency consultation, claiming to know an investor interested in Bitcoin. The first meeting with this supposed investor occurred on August 25, where Sherstnev demonstrated how Bitcoin wallets and money transfers work. A second meeting was scheduled for September 4.
|
|
|
|
During the second meeting, three men threatened Sherstnev and demanded his phone and Bitcoin wallet password. When he tried to leave, they grabbed and beat him, taking his phone. The attackers held him in the bar for about three hours, demanding a transfer of 10-12 Bitcoins (roughly $44,000).
|
|
|
|
Cleverly, Sherstnev tricked the attackers into sending an SOS signal from his phone and even managed to photograph one of them. Realizing the alarm had been raised, the assailants fled. Sherstnev subsequently reported the crime to the police.

|
Previously, in Ukraine, an underground Bitcoin conversion center was reported to have embezzled 200 million hryvnias.

В Киеве трое мужчин выбивали Bitcoin у Алексея Шерстнева, который занимается трейдингом криптовалют и консультациями по этой теме.
|
|
|
|
Об этом пострадавший написал на своей странице в Facebook.
|
|
|
|
"Пытки за Bitcoin. Пытка в течении 3-х часов. Требовали Bitcoin. Трое крепких людей. Били, запугивали, обещали убить", - отметил Шерстнев.
|
|
|
|
Он рассказал, что инцидент произошел вечером, 4 сентября, в помещении клуба Santa Muerte на улице Ярославов Вал. С Шерстневым связался человек, который попросил встретиться с ним для консультации по криптовалютам, заявив, что знаком с инвестором, готовым инвестировать в Bitcoin.
|
|
|
|
Отмечается, что первая встреча с якобы инвестором произошла 25 августа. На ней Шерстнева попросили показать, как работает Bitcoin-кошелек и перевод средств. При этом на 4 сентября назначили следующую встречу.

Пострадавший утверждает, что на встрече трое мужчин начали ему угрожать, а также требовали телефон и пароль к Bitcoin-кошельку. По его словам, при попытке покинуть комнату, его схватили и начали бить, отобрав телефон.
|
|
|
|
Алексей заявил, что в баре его продержали около трех часов, требуя перевести им на счет 10-12 Bitcoin, что составляет около $44 000.
|
|
|
|
При это он обхитрил нападавших, убедив их отправить сигнал SOS с его телефона. Более того, ему удалось сфотографировать одного из них.
|
|
|
|
Злоумышленники, поняв, что послали сигнал тревоги, покинули помещение.
|
|
|
|
После этого Шерстнев подал заявление в полицию.
|
|
|
|
Как сообщал "Обозреватель", ранее в Украине подпольный конвертационный центр Bitcoin "проглотил" 200 млн грн.
