StellarCrowandClaude Fable 5.1 439e83a4cb feat(sources): Wayback pass, automatic trimming, detention rule, ten cases re-sourced
Second and third rounds on the dossier pipeline, reviewed locally before commit.

Retrieval
- wayback_pass.py: retries every BLOCKED/DEAD/THIN/ERROR linked source through
  the Wayback Machine; blocks carry the snapshot date, archive URL and the live
  verdict. 143 slots retried: 93 fetched, 37 no snapshot, 12 script shells, 1 PDF.
- fetch_sources.py: fetch_wayback() helper.
- add_extra_sources.py: files staged extra_* finds (web search, not on the DB
  record) into the store with a provenance note.
- Cases re-sourced by web search: 248 (Oslo: Document.no, Avisa Oslo, NRK; the
  linked Le Parisien piece is case 242 and is marked OFF-CASE), 258 Kharkiv,
  260 Singapore, 358 Bangkok, 365 Las Vegas, 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine, 390 Zoersel,
  430 Homestead. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article; 11, 66 and 399
  have no public text source (podcast, police video, direct victim report).

Trimming
- auto_trim.py: case-anchored furniture cut for UNTRIMMED blocks. Finds the body
  run that mentions the case, merges across subheadings and short furniture
  gaps, drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and subscription
  pitches; refuses pages with no record term or almost no body. 302 blocks
  trimmed; 16 left on auto-trim-review.md (7 OFF-CASE suspects). Every cut is
  labelled AUTO-TRIMMED, UNREVIEWED in the dossier; the full extract stays in
  staging/. Decisions with anchors in trim-decisions-auto.json.
- build_cases.py / verify_all.py: banners for auto-trimmed and archived blocks,
  staged-file check extended to Wayback blocks, flag legend under the record.

Detention rule
- README "Definitions": the DB field `kidnappings` is the DETENTION violence
  type (victim, guard, staff or relative held to force submission or execute
  the theft), distinct from the Kidnapping scenario (taken away and held).
- detention-flag-review.md / detention-flag-corrections.json: 40 records
  reviewed with evidence; 30 set-to-1 proposals accepted by the owner on
  2026-09-06 (listed in corrections-approved.md), 10 still open.
- apply_detention_wording.py: "Violence Used" in the 70 reviewed summaries now
  names detention explicitly (62 of 70 labelled), supported by the summary's
  own text; idempotent; supersedes the batch scripts' wording.

Worklist and docs
- sofia-worklist.md: 248 decisions, detention rule item replacing the old
  "no abduction" item, fresh-search section for the textless cases.
- README-START-HERE.md: progress notes, run commands, next steps.
- Bug fixed in passing: Wayback blocks stored in-memory text with carriage
  returns; now stored as read back from disk.

verify_all.py PASSES (2321 checks).

On February 27, 2023, a foreign Bitcoin holder was drugged and robbed in Medellín, Colombia. The victim, a 36-year-old German national, was targeted by a 20-year-old Venezuelan woman. During a dinner at his apartment, the victim was drugged with scopolamine, commonly known as "burundanga" in Latin America. After losing consciousness, the woman robbed the apartment, taking five cell phones, a passport, all clothing, cutlery, food, appliances, and most importantly, a hardware wallet containing approximately $20,000 in Bitcoin (BTC) 1.
The incident highlights the increasing trend of physical attacks on cryptocurrency holders. As the value of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin rises, they become attractive targets for criminals who use drugs and physical force to access digital wallets. Unlike traditional bank accounts, cryptocurrency wallets are not protected by third-party institutions, making them vulnerable to such attacks 1•2•3.
Criminals often conduct extensive surveillance, using social media and other public platforms to identify potential targets. High-profile figures, such as influencers and entrepreneurs, are particularly at risk due to their public profiles and the visibility of their wealth. This trend has led to a rise in "wrench attacks," where perpetrators use physical violence or kidnapping to coerce victims into revealing their private keys or transferring cryptocurrency 4•5•6.
The incident involving the German national in Medellín is part of a broader pattern where criminals target individuals with known or suspected cryptocurrency holdings. These attacks can be highly organized, with groups conducting meticulous research and planning their assaults to maximize the chances of success 4•5•6.

ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
Colombia: Bitcoiner extranjero sufre robo de $20,000 en BTC - BeInCrypto
La victima fue drogada y al quedar inconsciente, robaron todas sus pertenecías del apartamento que se hospedaba.
Guardaba en el mismo lugar, su hardware wallet con acceso a su bitcoin y las palabras semillas de recuperación de esta.
Hay una posibilidad que pueda recuperar sus fondos, si logra extraer los BTC a tiempo, con unas palabras de recuperación de respalado que tiene en Alemanía.
Este 27 de febrero un bitcoiner extranjero fue drogado y robado en Medellín, Colombia. El crimen fue realizado por una mujer de 20 años, de nacionalidad venezolana, quien luego de dejarlo inconsciente, robó todo lo que vio de valor dentro del apartamento, incluida una maleta que contenía una wallet con acceso a $20,000 en bitcoin (BTC).
Los hechos fueron narrados por el bitcoiner con pseudónimo Gégé LSMR desde su cuenta de Twitter. Comienza explicando qué le pasó a su vecino, quien es oriundo de Alemania y de unos 36 años. Detalla que lo robó una prostituta con la que llegó a su apartamento, según de nacionalidad venezolana, y se llevó 5 celulares, el pasaporte, toda su vestimenta, cubiertos, alimentos, electrodomésticos y el equivalente a 20,000 USD en bitcoin (BTC).
A lo largo de su hilo explica detalles, como fue drogado su vecino con escopolamina, conocida comúnmente como burundanga en Latinoamérica. Ya que este 27 de febrero, entre las 9 o 10 de la noche, estaba tomando una copa de vino con ella y perdió la consciencia. Luego se levantó a las 8 de la mañana y se dio cuenta de lo sucedido. Todavía en la mañana seguía intoxicado.
La víctima tenía su hardware wallet y sus palabras semillas en el mismo maletín que se llevó la ladrona. Según, es probable que desconozca que se llevó unos bitcoin ahí, por lo que hay una posibilidad de que la victima los pueda recuperar. Su exesposa, en Alemania, podría tener acceso a unas palabras semillas de respaldo en unos días. Este sería el caso, al menos que la ladrona descubra las palabras semillas antes y conozca como usarlas.
Sobre este punto, explica que su vecino es nuevo en bitcoin, por eso su sistema de respaldo tan deficiente. Que es una persona dedicada al mundo financiero y los bitcoins robados es solo una pequeña porción de su fortuna. Añade que la víctima no sufrió algún daño físico más allá de la intoxicación.
En el resto de su hilo, se concentra en varios de sus seguidores, consultando detalles que evita responder y preguntas jocosas por lo único y raro de la situación de cómo un extranjero alemán en Colombia le roban 20,000 USD en bitcoin (BTC).
Riesgos de custodia de bitcoin (BTC) a tener en cuenta en Colombia y en cualquier país extranjero
La naturaleza descentralizada y no regulada de las criptomonedas, como bitcoin (BTC), las ha convertido en un destino atractivo para aquellos que buscan explotar el anonimato y la falta de supervisión ofrecida por las criptomonedas. Esto ha llevado a un aumento en los delitos relacionados con criptomonedas en muchos países, incluyendo Colombia, que posee una gran cantidad de usuarios de criptomonedas.
Es importante que aquellos interesados en invertir en criptomonedas tomen precauciones y estén al tanto de los riesgos de custodia involucrados. Esto incluye el uso de billeteras seguras, evitar la publicación de información personal relacionada con la tenencia de criptomonedas, ser cautelosos al realizar transacciones en persona o en línea, resguardar sus palabras semillas lejos de su wallet y evitar acercarse a personas desconocidas en ambientes tan vulnerables.
