John Woeltz, 37, and his alleged accomplice, William Duplessie, 33, started frequenting the NYC nightclub, The Box.

The duo was spotted there on multiple nights in a row, reportedly spending between $80,000 and $100,000 during each visit.

The tortured and wounded victim escaped John Woeltz's house of horrors in an ordeal authorities described as “The Wolf of Wall Street” meets “American Psycho."

The headline-grabbing tale of an Italian man who said he was kidnapped and tortured for weeks inside an upscale Manhattan townhouse by captors seeking his bitcoin highlights a dark corner of the cryptocurrency world: the threat of violence by thieves seeking digital assets.

Like co-defendant John Woeltz, the second suspect is expected to face charges of kidnapping, assault and unlawful imprisonment, police sources said.

Sources said cryptocurrency investor John Woeltz took the man's passport, tied him up, tortured and photographed him until the man managed to escape and alert authorities.
