美國旅遊者在被假的Uber司機吸毒後，損失了價值123,000美元的比特幣和XRP

根據當地新聞出版物Mylondon的一份新報告，來自俄勒岡州波特蘭的雅各布·歐文·科林（Jacob Irwin-Cline）在5月9日上午1:30左右離開了Soho的Roxy後，他要求使用Uber為期兩天。

An American tourist has lost $123,000 worth of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ripple’s XRP after being robbed and drugged by a fake Uber driver following a brief stay in the city, a report by MyLondon says.

Mylondon的一份報告說，一位美國遊客在短暫停留在城市後被假的Uber司機搶劫並吸毒後，損失了價值123,000美元的比特幣（BTC）和Ripple的XRP。

The report says 30-year-old former software developer and crypto investor Jacob Irwin-Cline, who had traveled from Portland, Oregon, for a two-day layover in London, requested an Uber after leaving The Roxy, a nightclub in Soho, at around 1:30 AM on May 9.

該報告說，30歲的前軟件開發商兼加密投資者雅各布·歐文·克萊恩（Jacob Irwin-Cline）在5月9日凌晨1:30左右離開了Soho的Roxy，在倫敦的一家夜總會離開Roxy，在倫敦進行了為期兩天的中途停留。

However, he was reportedly intercepted by a driver who appeared to match the profile displayed in the app and who called out the alias he had saved as his name in the Uber account.

但是，據報導，他被一名駕駛員攔截，該駕駛員似乎與應用程序中顯示的個人資料相匹配，並召集了他在Uber帳戶中保存的名字。

Having later asked the nightclub for CCTV footage of the incident, Irwin-Cline said it was a “dark sedan” that pulled up, and not the Toyota Prius that was listed on his Uber app.

後來向夜總會詢問了該事件的CCTV鏡頭，Irwin-Cline說，這是一款“黑暗轎車”，而不是在他的Uber應用程序上列出的Toyota Prius。

“The guy seemed super chill, super nice,” the techie was quoted as saying.

話說：“這個傢伙看起來超級寒意，超級好。”

Techie Smoked a Cigarette Before Feeling Disoriented

Techie在迷失方向前吸煙了

The techie said he accepted a cigarette from the driver and started feeling disoriented shortly afterwards. He believes the cigarette may have been laced with scopolamine, also known as “Devil’s Breath,” a powerful sedative known for causing blackouts while keeping victims conscious.

技術人員說，他接受了駕駛員的香煙，不久之後就開始感到迷失方向。他認為，香煙可能已經飾有scopolamine，也被稱為“魔鬼的呼吸”，這是一個強大的鎮靜劑，以造成停電而聞名，同時保持受害者有意識。

While in a semi-conscious state, Irwin-Cline inadvertently handed over his phone’s passcode and access to his crypto accounts before he was abandoned in a London suburb as the fake taxi driver fled with his phone.

在半意識狀態下，歐文·克林（Irwin-Cline）無意間移交了他的手機的密碼，並訪問了他的加密貨幣帳戶，然後他在倫敦郊區被遺棄，因為假出租車司機逃離了手機。

After returning to his hostel with the help of a stranger, he discovered his laptop had been wiped remotely, and he was locked out of his digital accounts. He later regained access but realized that roughly $123,000 in crypto had been withdrawn from his wallet, including around $73,000 in XRP tokens and $50,000 in Bitcoin.

在陌生人的幫助下回到旅館後，他發現他的筆記本電腦被遠程擦拭了，他被鎖定在數字帳戶之外。後來他重新獲得了訪問權限，但意識到大約有123,000美元的加密貨幣已從他的錢包中撤回，其中包括約73,000美元的XRP代幣和50,000美元的比特幣。

He reportedly shared screenshots with MyLondon revealing his XRP holdings dropped from $73,000 to under $1,000 and his BTC from $50,000 to less than $10 on that fateful night.

據報導，他與Mylondon分享了屏幕截圖，透露他的XRP控股從73,000美元下降到1,000美元以下，而BTC從50,000美元下降到那個Onter Fateful Night的$ 50,000。

Irwin-Cline said he doesn’t think he was targeted beforehand and that instead the assailant got “lucky” that he had some wealth “stored away.” The FBI’s Virtual Assets Unit is investigating the case, though the crypto investor believes there is “less than one per cent chance” of getting his funds back.

歐文·克林（Irwin-Cline）表示，他認為自己沒有事先成為目標，相反，襲擊者感到“幸運”，因為他的財富“儲存了”。聯邦調查局的虛擬資產部門正在調查此案，儘管加密投資者認為，“不到一百分之一的機會”將其資金退還。
