StellarCrowandClaude Fable 5.1 499fd61f79 feat(sources): fetch linked URLs for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases
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).

On February 27, 2023, a foreign Bitcoin holder was drugged and robbed in Medellín, Colombia. The victim, a 36-year-old German national, was targeted by a 20-year-old Venezuelan woman. During a dinner at his apartment, the victim was drugged with scopolamine, commonly known as "burundanga" in Latin America. After losing consciousness, the woman robbed the apartment, taking five cell phones, a passport, all clothing, cutlery, food, appliances, and most importantly, a hardware wallet containing approximately $20,000 in Bitcoin (BTC) 1.
The incident highlights the increasing trend of physical attacks on cryptocurrency holders. As the value of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin rises, they become attractive targets for criminals who use drugs and physical force to access digital wallets. Unlike traditional bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets are not protected by third-party institutions, making them vulnerable to such attacks 1•2•3.
Criminals often conduct extensive surveillance, using social media and other public platforms to identify potential targets. High-profile figures, such as influencers and entrepreneurs, are particularly at risk due to their public profiles and the visibility of their wealth. This trend has led to a rise in "wrench attacks," where perpetrators use physical violence or kidnapping to coerce victims into revealing their private keys or transferring cryptocurrency 4•5•6.
The incident involving the German national in Medellín is part of a broader pattern where criminals target individuals with known or suspected cryptocurrency holdings. These attacks can be highly organized, with groups conducting meticulous research and planning their assaults to maximize the chances of success 4•5•6.
