"Something strange was going on outside 38 Prince Street on Friday. We got a tip that a U-Haul was parked on the block around 2:30 that afternoon and that movers were carrying Aeron chairs and a Hästens mattress out of the federal-style townhouse where, according to Manhattan criminal court records, an Italian businessman had been held captive and tortured by two men looking to get the passwords to his crypto wallets."
"The movers were also apparently selling some of what they were loading into the truck: The person who tipped us off says the movers asked if he wanted to make an offer on the mattress, and he wound up buying a pair of Durango Rebel boots with the American flag printed on the side - not because he liked them but because he wanted to own a little piece of history."
Movers with a U-Haul were seen removing Aeron chairs and a Hästens mattress from a federal-style townhouse at 38 Prince Street, and they appeared to sell items to passersby. Manhattan criminal court records indicate an Italian businessman was held captive and tortured there by two men seeking passwords to his crypto wallets. A tipster bought Durango Rebel boots from the movers. The property is a rental with $75,000 monthly rent; tenants William Duplessie and John Woeltz remain current, even after Woeltz posted $1 million bail. Multiple serious inquiries have been made to take over the eight-bedroom, seven-plus-bathroom mansion.
