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).

Wow, the Bitcoin community has really exploded recently! A 35-year-old software engineer from Chengdu, Wang Shu (a pseudonym), was actually scammed by someone claiming to be 'Bitcoin Genius' and lost 6 Bitcoins—worth $400,000! This sounds like a movie plot, but it's a real event that happened in 2025. Here's what happened:
Wang Shu met this 'Genius' on Twitter last August, whose profile picture was of a young woman claiming to be a cryptocurrency trader. As they chatted, they added each other on Telegram, and their relationship escalated quickly. Then, 'Genius' made a bold move, saying she could entice Wang Shu with physical trade. He was intrigued.
On December 1, they arranged to meet at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Chengdu, and just when it seemed like things were about to go well, a 'Li Shaolin' suddenly appeared, claiming to be 'Genius's' friend, along with a group of people who barged in to set up a 'honey trap.' Wang Shu was terrified and was forced to transfer 6 Bitcoins by 8:45, after which the scammers vanished without a trace.
But it didn't end there; on March 21, 'Bitcoin Genius' was still posting harassing messages on Twitter, clearly indicating a phishing scam ring. Netizens were outraged, with some saying, 'Isn't this just the cryptocurrency version of a honey trap?' Others warned, '0.1 Bitcoin for one night? Brothers, don't believe it; 60,000 RMB just vanished like that!'
The police have intervened to investigate and remind everyone to stay vigilant, especially those who are believers in cryptocurrency—don't let faith turn into an ATM. Onlookers remarked that this plot is too thrilling; the romantic fantasy of Bitcoin hasn't even begun before reality slapped it hard. Wang Shu's actions are likely to become a classic case in the cryptocurrency community in 2025. What do you all think? Does this incident add a touch of dark humor to Bitcoin's 'trust ledger'?
