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).

AI SUMMARY [revised on review, verified against the sources in this file. Live DB still holds the shorter bulk-import summary — apply this to it.]
|
||
**Victims:** A cryptocurrency miner in Tomsk, Russia.
|
||
|
||
**Attackers:** Two Tomsk residents. One was tracked down and detained in St. Petersburg and pleaded guilty; the second was arrested later. Both are in custody and charged with especially large-scale group robbery.
|
||
|
||
**Attack Method:** In October 2021 the pair attacked the miner as he was leaving home; one threatened him with an object resembling a gun and forced him back inside his apartment, where the accomplice joined and they made him log into his crypto exchange account.
|
||
|
||
**Violence Used:** He was threatened with a gun-like object and forced back into his home.
|
||
|
||
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** They forced him to transfer 86 BTC from a wallet holding 90 BTC (it is unclear why they left the rest) — worth more than 360 million roubles, over US$4.8 million, at the time.
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Both men are charged with robbery by a group on an especially large scale and face up to 15 years and a fine of up to 1 million roubles; the case goes to the Kirovsky Court of Tomsk. The suspect caught in St. Petersburg returned 35 million roubles (about $479,000).

Court to Try 2 Russians for Stealing 86 Bitcoins From Crypto Miner
|
||
Two residents of the Russian city of Tomsk will be tried for “large-scale robbery” involving the theft of cryptocurrency worth millions of rubles from a local miner. The digital coins were stolen from the owner at gunpoint, authorities said, adding that both criminals are now in custody.

Thieves Face Trial in Russia for Armed Robbery of Cryptocurrency Miner
|
||
The Kirovsky Court of Tomsk will soon try two men for their attack on another resident of the Siberian city who made a living by mining cryptocurrencies. They were able to extort from him coins worth more than 360 million rubles at the time (over $4.8 million), the Russian crypto news outlet Bits.media reported.
|
||
The crime took place in October 2021. The perpetrators attacked the cryptocurrency miner when he was leaving his home. One of them threatened him with an object resembling a gun and brought him back inside his apartment.
|
||
Then, his accomplice came in and the two forced the victim to log into his account on a crypto exchange and transfer them 86 BTC from a wallet that contained 90 BTC. It’s unclear why they decided not to withdraw the full balance.
|
||
Russian law enforcement managed to track and detain one of the suspects in St. Petersburg. He has since pleaded guilty and returned the fiat equivalent of a portion of the stolen digital cash — 35 million rubles (close to $479,000 at current exchange rates). The second man was arrested later.
|
||
The regional prosecutor’s office has charged the attackers with “robbery committed by a group of persons on an especially large scale” under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. They face up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to 1 million rubles.
|
||
Attacks against people owning and earning cryptocurrency have been on the rise in Russia. In July, 2021, armed robbers plundered a large mining farm near Moscow, stealing dozens of video cards used to mint digital currencies. Also last year, $1 million in tether was taken away from a crypto trader in the Russian capital.
