The article details the harrowing ordeal of Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan, an Italian Bitcoin trader, who was reportedly kidnapped and tortured by William Duplessie and John Woeltz in a posh New York City townhouse. After being lured to the city, Carturan was held hostage for three weeks and allegedly subjected to various forms of torture, including severe beatings and forced drug use. The involvement of an unidentified madam, who allegedly recruited women for the men, adds layers of complexity to the case, exposing the dark side of the cryptocurrency culture.
"Clips and images obtained by the outlet reportedly showed a shirtless Carturan being led on a leash by a blonde woman wearing a tanktop and black pants."
"He was severely beaten, shocked with electrical wires, forced to smoke from a crack pipe and at one point dangled him from a staircase five stories high, authorities said."
