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).

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:** An unidentified woman, a cryptocurrency investor in Dubai, UAE.
**Attackers:** A four-man gang of Asian expats, one of whom worked as her driver and knew she was a crypto investor and drew in the other three; all four were convicted.
**Attack Method:** The driver lured her into a bogus deal, posing as wanting to buy digital currency, and had her come to a spot in Dubai Investments Park, where a group approached her and demanded she transfer her money to their account.
**Violence Used:** She was assaulted, electrocuted, stripped naked and photographed for blackmail, then left on a street for several hours with her hands tied and a plastic bag over her face.
**Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** They robbed her of Dh42,000 and converted the cash into bitcoin.
**Status:** She ran to police; CID tracked the gang via CCTV and recovered her clothes, an electric-shock device and the nude clips from their homes. The four were sentenced to three years, fined Dh42,000 and ordered deported after their sentences.

Dubai: 4 expats jailed for robbing woman of Dh42,000, using cash to buy bitcoin
They were also found to have electrocuted the victim and taken indecent photos of her
Four Asians were sentenced to three years in jail for robbing a woman of Dh42,000 in Dubai. They assaulted her, stripped her naked, and converted her money into bitcoin, court records show.
The victim told the police that she was kidnapped, assaulted, and robbed after getting into a deal with one of the gang members who said he wanted to buy digital currency, court records show.
It turned out that a member of the group was working as a driver for the woman and he knew that she was a cryptocurrency investor. He and the rest of the gang decided to plot the crime and lure her into a bogus deal so they could steal her money, according to the documents at the Dubai Court of First Instance.
The victim said she agreed to meet the group, but when she arrived at the specified location within Dubai Investments Park, she was shocked to see a group of people coming toward her. She told the court that they demanded that she transfer her money to their account.
"I was assaulted, electrocuted, stripped off my clothes, and photographed, so the pictures could be used to blackmail me," she told the authorities.
After several hours, they left her on a street — her hands tied and a plastic bag placed on her face. She was eventually able to run and go to the police, according to court records.
The police said the CID team was able to track down the members of the gang after reviewing the CCTV footage at the crime scene. Upon their arrest, the authorities found the victim's clothes and an electric shock device in their homes. They also got hold of the video clips where the woman appeared naked, according to court records.
Besides the jail sentence, the court of first instance fined them Dh42,000 and ordered their deportation after serving their time.
