Summary

Yet another white-collar crypto investor has been arrested in connection to a bizarre and violent criminal case involving an Italian crypto millionaire. Duplessie’s arrest follows the arrest of 37-year-old John Woeltz, who was taken into custody last week for his alleged role in the alleged kidnapping and torture of Carturan. Woeltz, described as a crypto investor from Kentucky, was reportedly renting the $30k-a-month apartment where Carturan’s grisly ordeal is alleged to have taken place. A 24-year-old woman named Beatrice Folchi was also arrested last week and was similarly charged with kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. Folchi was later seen out on the streets of New York and denied to reporters that she had been arrested.
