Second suspect detained after crypto investor accused of torture in NYC

William Duplessie surrendered this morning to a Manhattan precinct and was charged with assault, kidnapping in the first degree, unlawful imprisonment in the first degree and criminal possession of a firearm, a New York Police Department (NYPD) spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
