Fake Uber Driver Drugs & Robs Tourist of $123K in BTC

In the UK, an American tourist, Jacob Irwin-Cline, fell victim to a fake Uber driver who drugged and robbed him of $123,000 in Bitcoin. After a night out in London, Cline entered a private cab he mistakenly believed was his Uber. The driver offered him a cigarette, likely laced with a potent sedative, causing him to pass out. When Cline regained consciousness, the driver stole his mobile phone, containing his cryptocurrency access. This incident highlights rising threats to crypto holders, who are increasingly targeted by criminals globally.
