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).

Another criminal case involving crypto in Paris? Or a simple case of debt collection? It's still too early to tell. Five men were arrested on the evening of Tuesday, August 5, in Paris (VIIIe). They are suspected of threatening, kidnapping, and assaulting a client of the Peninsula Hotel before stealing 2 million euros in cryptocurrency from him.
|
|
|
|
It is 7:15 PM in this prestigious palace on Kléber Avenue in the 16th arrondissement when the staff alerts the police. They explain that one of their clients was approached by five unknown individuals who told him, "You give us 400,000 euros and that's it." The victim, who works in the cryptocurrency field, was then forcibly taken to the area of the Arc de Triomphe and assaulted.
|
|
|
|
The anti-crime police quickly located the group and arrested the suspects. According to initial investigation findings, this team is linked to a nearby nightclub where the complainant allegedly owes 40,000 euros. The goal was to make him pay the bill by force.
|
|
|
|
Two Million in Bitcoins
|
|
|
|
The victim was briefly questioned. He stated that he was beaten and threatened, and that his assailants seized a hard drive containing 2 million euros in bitcoins, in addition to his iPhone 13 Pro Max. He also mentioned that a previous incident occurred the week before, during which these suspected criminals had displayed a weapon. The five suspects have been taken into custody at the first judicial police district for extortion.
