The third suspect in the Bitcoin kidnapping in New York turns himself in

William Duplessie, a man suspected of colluding to kidnap and torture an Italian cryptocurrency investor in Manhattan, turned himself in to New York police on Tuesday. The case allegedly aimed to force the victim, Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan, to hand over his Bitcoin wallet keys through "physical and psychological abuse." Carturan was held captive for nearly three weeks since May 6, "beaten, hung from a five-story building, and threatened with a gun," before finally managing to escape and call the police. Police said the case reflects a growing trend of violent attacks against cryptocurrency users. #Square #Binance
