#TradeStories#BTCTrade Crypto Investor Arrested for Torturing Italian Tourist in Manhattan Over Passwords 🔐🇮🇹

John Woeltz, a 37-year-old crypto investor from Kentucky, was arrested after allegedly kidnapping and torturing a 28-year-old Italian tourist in a luxury Manhattan apartment—forcing him for weeks to reveal crypto passwords worth millions.

The victim escaped after brutal abuse, including being tied with electric cords, tasered in water, whipped with a pistol, forced to use drugs, and threatened with a chainsaw. Police discovered bloody scenes, night vision goggles, bulletproof vests, and disturbing photos taken to extort the victim’s family.

The incident started May 6 after the tourist arrived to meet Woeltz but was instead held captive in what police call a “torture chamber.”
