2nd crypto bigwig in SoHo torture case to surrender, sources say
A Swiss crypto millionaire sought for questioning in the gruesome torture of an Italian trader in SoHo will surrender to the NYPD this week, sources said Sunday — as a priest sprinkled holy water on the property.
The Euro exec became a person of interest in the case after the arrest of Kentucky crypto king John Woeltz on Friday for allegedly holding wealthy trader Michael Vanlentino Teofrasto Carturan inside a Prince Street apartment and torturing him for his Bitcoin password, authorities said.
Woeltz and his assistant, 24-year-old Beatrice Folchi, were charged in the case, but Folchi was later released when Manhattan prosecutors declined to file charges pending further investigation.
