Jacob Irwin-Cline just wanted a safe ride home after a night out in London. Instead, he ended up drugged, robbed, and hit by a car—all because he got into the wrong taxi.
A Night Out Turned Nightmare
After leaving a bar, Jacob called an Uber. But in his slightly tipsy state, he didn’t double-check the details. A car pulled up that looked like his ride—except it wasn’t.
Inside, the "driver" offered him a cigarette. One puff later, everything went blurry.
- The cigarette was likely laced with scopolamine, a drug that leaves victims dazed and compliant.
- Jacob blacked out for 30 minutes.
- When he woke up, the driver kicked him out, hit him with the car, and sped off—with his phone.
That phone held the keys to his Bitcoin wallet—worth $123,000. Gone in seconds.
Why This Keeps Happening
Jacob isn’t alone. Crypto holders are becoming easy targets:
- Just days ago, a crypto CEO’s family survived a kidnapping attempt in Paris.
- Another investor’s father was held at gunpoint for ransom.
Now, wealthy crypto traders are hiring bodyguards, scared they could be next.
Could you spot a fake Uber? Or would you be the next victim?
