Cops arrest third suspect accused of brutally torturing man for bitcoin riches

Police have arrested a third suspect linked to one of the most extreme bitcoin-related kidnapping and torture cases in the United States, The New York Times reported. The arrest came after an Italian man, Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan, escaped a luxury Manhattan townhouse after three weeks of alleged imprisonment. Police raided the townhouse and found photos depicting the torture, as well as "several guns, a ballistic vest, and broken furniture," the NYT reported. Cops soon after arrested two suspects—John Woeltz, 37, and Beatrice Folchi, 24—but were still seeking an "unapprehended male," the NYT previously reported. On Tuesday morning, 33-year-old William Duplessie surrendered to police after days of negotiations, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told the NYT.
