Bitcoiners warned scopolamine robberies in Colombia pose threat to crypto security
Jameson Lopp issues warning to Bitcoiners as scopolamine-induced robberies target crypto holdings in Colombia.
One sobering story that, actually, ended up not so badly - have two identical wallets on two phones.
In Colombia, scopolamine is colloquially known as “the devil’s breath,” so called, because it steals your soul. The drug is derived from the “borrachero” shrub, which is commonly found in Colombia.
It can be administered transdermally, respiratory by being blown into the face, or through ingestion such as by spiking food and drinks. Once in the system, it induces “zombie-like” effects that play out as docility, lack of free will, memory loss, hallucinations, unconsciousness, and even death at high enough doses.
Sounds like they've been pouring the stuff into every water supply in the world.
