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).

Ukrainian Man Forced to Transfer $250,000 in Crypto During Armed Robbery in Thailand
Armed robbers in Thailand forced a Ukrainian man to transfer $250K in USDT under threat of violence.
The attackers tied the victim to a bed after the transfer and fled the scene, warning him not to report the crime.
Thailand Police arrested four suspects, one of whom regularly purchased USDT from the victim.
A Ukrainian national, Viacheslav Leibov, fell victim to a rare case of crypto theft through physical coercion in Phuket, Thailand. 
Armed assailants forced him to transfer 250,000 USDT, equivalent to 8.56 million baht, under the threat of violence. On November 11, four people were arrested in association with the robbery. 
An Unusual Way of Stealing Crypto
According to local reports, Leibov told local police that his ordeal began on Friday night when he visited his friend in his hotel room. Upon arrival, an Armenian man, Arman Grigoryan, 21, escorted Leibov to the room.
Initially, the group engaged in conversation on the balcony. However, the situation escalated when Leibov went to use the bathroom. Two masked individuals ambushed him, binding his limbs with ropes and cable ties. 
The robbers, armed with a hammer and knife, demanded Leibov transfer 500,000 USDT. Leibov negotiated to reduce the amount, transferring the 250,000 USDT as demanded. 
After completing the transfer, the attackers tied him to a bed and warned him against reporting the crime.
Once the assailants left, Leibov managed to free himself. He immediately rode his motorcycle and reported the incident to Kamala police.
Police arrested four suspects associated with the robbery on Monday. One of the suspects regularly purchased crypto, more specifically, USDT, from Leibov. He has prior knowledge about Leibov holding large sum of stablecoins, which led to this plot.
