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).

|
||
Ottawa police have arrested one suspect and are looking for two others after employees at a Bitcoin financial institution were held up at gunpoint Tuesday.
|
||
The attempted robbery happened on Concourse Gate off Colonnade Road just before 11 a.m., police said in a media release issued Wednesday.
|
||
Three suspected entered the business armed with handguns, gained control over four employees and bound them, police said. One of the employees was struck on the head with a gun.
|
||
A fifth employee, who remained unseen in an office, contacted police, and the suspects fled empty-handed.

|
||
The employee who was struck in the head was taken to hospital for treatment.
|
||
Arriving officers saw one of the suspects run into a ravine north of Colonnade Road, and "extensive resources" were deployed to find him, including tactical and K-9 unit officers. The suspect was arrested later Wednesday "without incident," police said.
|
||
The arrested man, a 19-year-old from Ottawa, was charged with:
|
||
Five counts of robbery with a firearm.
|
||
Five counts of pointing a firearm.
|
||
Five counts of forcible confinement.
|
||
One count of wearing a disguise.
|
||
One count of carrying a concealed weapon.
|
||
One count of conspiracy to commit and indictable offence.
|
||
One count of possessing a firearm while prohibited.
|
||
One count of possessing a loaded, regulated firearm.
|
||
Police are searching for the other two suspects, and are hoping to speak to a person of interest who was inside the business when the three suspects arrived.
|
||
Investigators are expected to return to the scene Wednesday to search for additional evidence.
|
||
Anyone with information is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

|
||
As many non-tech savvy people think that Bitcoin looks like a Gold coin as illustrated in many stock images, perhaps these robbers also planned to rob a cryptocurrency exchange thinking that way.
|
||
|
||
All jokes apart, we saw one such attempt on Tuesday morning, when three men armed with handguns entered the offices of a Canadian Bitcoin exchange in Ottawa, and restrained four of its employees.
|
||
|
||
The intruders then struck one of the employees in the head with a handgun, asking them to make an outbound transaction from the cryptocurrency exchange.

|
||
|
||
A fifth employee in another cabin, who remained unseen in an office, called the police before any assets could be taken, and the robbers left empty-handed.
|
||
|
||
One of the suspects arrested later Wednesday after arriving police officers saw him run into a ravine north of Colonnade Road and deployed "extensive resources," including K-9 unit officers, to find him, CBC News reports.
|
||
"Police are looking for two additional suspects, both described as black males," the police says. "Investigators are also interested in identifying and speaking to a person of interest that was inside the premise as the suspects arrived. That person did not remain at the scene."
|
||
The suspect in custody, identified as 19-year-old Jimmy St-Hilaire, has been charged with the following offences:
|
||
5 counts of robbery with a firearm
|
||
5 counts of point a firearm
|
||
5 counts of forcible confinement
|
||
Wear disguise
|
||
Conspiracy to Commit an indictable offence
|
||
Carry concealed weapon
|
||
Possess firearm while prohibited
|
||
Possess weapon for committing an offence
|
||
Possess loaded regulated firearm
|
||
St-Hilaire is set to appear in court on January 24, 2018. Ottawa police are now looking for the remaining two suspects.

A similar incident happened last month when armed robbers kidnapped a top executive at UK-registered crypto-exchange EXMO Finance and allegedly stole more than $1.8 million of Ether for releasing him.
|
||
|
||
The New York District Attorney's Office charged New Jersey native Louis Meza for the kidnapping and robbery, claiming Meza held "demanded that the victim turns over his cell phone, wallet, and keys while holding the victim at gunpoint."
