A U.S. tourist lost over $123,000 in crypto in a suspected premeditated theft in London's West End after leaving a nightclub and getting into what he thought was an Uber. The driver, who offered a cigarette believed to contain a sedative, gained access to the victim's crypto accounts before abandoning him in an unfamiliar area.
