William Duplessie, 32, faces charges of kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment and criminal possession of a weapon, according to police.
His arrest comes four days after the alleged victim — a 28-year-old Italian national — escaped, bloodied and barefoot, from a lavish townhouse where he said he had been severely beaten, drugged, shocked and threatened with death for nearly three weeks.
On Friday evening, hours after the man’s escape, the crypto investor John Woeltz was taken into custody and charged in the alleged kidnapping scheme.
Authorities said the pair lured the victim into an eight-bedroom apartment in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood, one of the most expensive in the city, on May 6 to steal his Bitcoin fortune.
I’ve been noticing this a lot lately. I’m 35 and I feel pretty old but damn do people just a few years younger than me look so fucking old. What’s up with that??
Genetics. What you eat. How much you eat. How long you stay in the sun. If you smoke.
Different factors. I’m about twenty years older than this guy, but most people will say I’m younger than he is.
35 is not old. I don’t feel old, though my back hurts sometimes.
