Second Arrest Made in NYC Cryptocurrency Kidnapping Case
A cryptocurrency kidnapping case in New York City has taken a new turn with the arrest of a second suspect, William Duplessie. Duplessie turned himself in on Tuesday, adding another layer to the ongoing investigation. Police allege that Duplessie and John Woeltz, who was arrested last Friday, kidnapped and tortured an Italian investor in a Manhattan apartment to steal his Bitcoin. Woeltz has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday. "This case highlights the growing risks associated with cryptocurrency transactions," stated a law enforcement official, requesting anonymity. The victim, who has not been publicly identified, is recovering from his ordeal. The investigation continues, and further details are expected to emerge as the case progresses. The arrest of Duplessie offers a glimmer of hope for justice in this disturbing case.
