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).

Do you work in cryptocurrency? Be careful. Kidnappings of businessmen in this booming field appear to be on the rise. As the ordeal of David Balland, the co-founder of Ledger, and his companion is revealed, another kidnapping case is about to be solved.
On Monday, March 17, and Tuesday, March 18, four men and one woman suspected of involvement in the kidnapping of a cryptocurrency investor in Paris were arrested. Two of them were caught by border police at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport (Rhône) as they were about to leave the country. The next day, the other three were arrested at their respective homes. In their twenties, they almost all live in the Loire. Only one is known to the police for drug trafficking. It was not known this Thursday morning what judicial decision had been made following the arrests. Contacted, the Paris prosecutor's office was not yet able to respond.
The victim locked in the trunk of a car at Lyon Station
The case dates back to the weekend of February 8-9. The 20-year-old cryptocurrency investor had a meeting with a 19-year-old woman who had contacted him on social media. Was it a professional or private meeting? We don't know. In any case, the Parisian, who lives in the 17th arrondissement, goes near the clock at Lyon Station (12th arrondissement) where the meeting is to take place. The young woman is there, but she is not alone. Two men immediately force the victim to get into the trunk of a car.
It is likely at this moment that the investor, who still had his phone on him, calls a friend. In the dark, he tells him that he has just been kidnapped. His attackers demand 40,000 euros. The friend immediately calls the emergency services. When the investigators locate the businessman, he is near Saint-Étienne Station (Loire). The police do not have to search high and low to find him. He is found the same day by a patrol in the sector.
In front of the investigators of the second judicial police district, the victim explains the reason for his kidnapping. According to him, he was entrusted with 10,000 euros to invest in cryptocurrency. But this investment would have collapsed. This is why his dissatisfied client would have used strong-arm tactics to recover the initial stake.
For nearly two months, the police launch investigations to track down the perpetrators of this kidnapping. In addition to the classic work of exploiting video surveillance and telephony, the investigators will retrace the entire route of the vehicle in which the investor was held. They would have notably collected precious information in the service stations.
Once the suspects were identified, a search warrant was issued against them. Until two of them were arrested at the airport on Monday. When they present their passport, flagged by a record, they are immediately arrested. The next day, during the searches, a batch of shoulder and hand firearms would have been seized.
