An American tourist in the United Kingdom has reportedly fallen victim to a crypto theft, in which a suspected fake Uber driver drugged the individual and stole $123,000 in Bitcoin. According to the British news outlet My London, Jacob Irwin-Cline requested an Uber after consuming several drinks at a London bar. However, Cline did not carefully verify the ride details on his phone and was instead picked up by a private cab driver. Although the driver initially appeared similar to the Uber driver, Cline only realized the vehicles were different after the incident had taken place
