A crypto investor has been charged with kidnapping and torture.
37-year-old John Woeltz was arrested Friday after a man escaped a Manhattan townhome and told authorities that Woeltz and another man had kidnapped him and were “beating, shocking and torturing him for weeks” after he refused to give them his Bitcoin password, reports The New York Times.
The news echoes a recent Wall Street Journal report about a wave of violent attacks on cryptocurrency investors in the US and worldwide.
