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 [generated at bulk import, NOT verified against sources]
|
|
**Victim:** Young trader
|
|
|
|
**Attackers:** A gang of five Dominicans
|
|
|
|
**Attack Method:** This case involves P2P Trade Gone Wrong, Kidnapping, and Social Engineering (malicious invitation). The victim's bank blocked his transfer to buy property in DR. Desperate to complete the purchase, he joined a Telegram trading group to find a local buyer. After calls and voice messages with a seemingly decent trader, they arranged to meet at a restaurant. The victim brought friends, but when an attacker appeared, it wasn't the person from the calls. Deal off. The search continued. Another "crypto novice" approached him. An introductory meeting in a public space with cameras went well, so the victim agreed to trade the next day. The attacker invited him to his "family house," where 5 armed men ambushed him. Beaten and strangled with a towel, he was forced to unlock both phones and transfer all his crypto. They changed his clothes, drove him in his own car to a remote location, and abandoned him.
