Apparently, an American tourist in Great Britain was intoxicated by a person pretending to be a taxi driver who stole $ 123,000 in bitcoins stored on a mobile phone.
According to report From my London, Jacob Irwin-Cline went to the London bar and drank a few drinks before he called Uber to take him home.
Cline said that he did not check the details of Uber on his phone and left with a random private taxi driver reminiscent of Uber driver at first glance, but driving another vehicle – the detailed Cline will discover only after the incident.
After entering the vehicle, an American tourist said that the driver offered him a cigarette, who, as Cline said, was probably entwined with a scarce and robust sedative called Scopolamine. Cline added that the cigarette made him feel extremely gentle and tired, causing that he fainted for about 30 minutes before he regained consciousness.
Shortly after Cline woke up, the driver ordered him from the vehicle. When Cline left, the driver suddenly accelerated, hitting him with a car and escaping from a mobile phone, which contained his private keys and access to his cryptographic relationship.
