Shocking new video captures the moment an Italian crypto millionaire escaped his captors after police said he was brutally tortured inside a posh SoHo townhouse.
The footage, obtained by NBC New York, shows battered bitcoin trader Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan shoeless and distressed as he runs up to an NYPD traffic cop Friday after fleeing the Prince Street house of horrors – where he was allegedly held and brutalized for his crypto password, authorities said.
Cops have charged Kentucky crypto king John Woeltz with kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, assault and weapons possession in the shocking case.
On Tuesday, bitcoin trader William Duplessie surrendered to police for questioning after being identified as a person of interest.
Woeltz’s assistant, Italian beauty Beatrice Folchi, was arrested Friday but released after Manhattan prosecutors declined to prosecute pending further investigation.
