đšCrypto Horror in Manhattan: $30M Bitcoin Torture Case
In a real-life Coen brothersâ nightmare, a crypto investor was tortured for 3 weeks in a luxury NYC penthouse â all for access to a $30 million BTC wallet.
Italian trader Michele arrived on May 6 for a âbusiness meetingâ with fellow crypto associate John Welz. But once inside, he was ambushed, bound, and subjected to unspeakable violence:
âą Electric shocks in water
âą Chainsaw wounds
âą Gunshots near his head
âą Forced crack use & Polaroid photos
âą Custom t-shirts made with images of the torture
After 3 weeks, Michele tricked his captor and escaped barefoot to police. SWAT raided the penthouse.
Welz has now been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Crypto is freedom â but real life still requires extreme caution.
