Since he didnt get any crypto. Is he really an investor?
tldr; John Woeltz, a 37-year-old cryptocurrency investor, was charged in Manhattan criminal court with kidnapping and torturing a 28-year-old Italian man to extract cryptocurrency passwords. The victim was allegedly detained in a SoHo home rented by Woeltz for $30,000 a month, where he endured weeks of beatings, electric shocks, and threats, including being dangled from the five-story building. Woeltz pleaded not guilty to four felony counts, including kidnapping with intent to collect ransom, and is being held without bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
