London Uber Driver steals $123k in crypto after drugging American Tourist

Another day, another crypto heist—only this time, it wasn’t a hack or a rug pull. A London Uber driver allegedly drugged an American tourist before making off with a cool $123,000 in digital assets. Talk about a brutal exit strategy.

Who needs smart contract exploits when you’ve got a spiked drink and a getaway car? The victim—reportedly a crypto investor—woke up to drained wallets and a harsh lesson in personal security. Authorities are investigating, but good luck tracing those funds once they hit a mixer.

Just when you thought self-custody was the biggest risk in crypto, along comes a reminder that old-school crime still pays. At least the driver didn’t promise a 100X return before vanishing.
