New Video Shows Daring Crypto Kidnap-Torture Victim’s Escape in NYC

The alleged victim in the strange crypto kidnap-torture case is now featured in another short film, but this time it’s not a sex tape. It’s a new video showing his daring escape from the “House of Horrors” in NYC.

Exclusive footage obtained by TMZ shows Italian entrepreneur Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan running down a sidewalk in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood after escaping from the townhouse where he was held captive by his alleged business partners, John Woeltz and William Duplessie. The trio were involved in a Bitcoin venture.

The video, dated May 23, captures Carturan sprinting behind a traffic enforcement agent before walking back with him towards the townhouse. The agent, mistaken for a police officer, provides a sense of calm to Carturan after his frantic escape.

Following his escape, Carturan informed authorities that Woeltz and Duplessie had kidnapped and tortured him for over two weeks in an attempt to obtain access to his Bitcoin wallet. Despite the ordeal, Carturan never divulged the password, leading to the arrest of his captors on multiple charges.

Woeltz and Duplessie, known as prominent figures in the crypto realm, are currently in custody facing serious charges related to the abduction, assault, and illegal possession of weapons. They remain incarcerated without the possibility of bail.

Further investigations by TMZ have raised questions about the authenticity of Carturan’s captivity, with footage showing him engaging in parties, sexual activities, and even drug-related activities with a seemingly carefree attitude.

Additionally, a video has surfaced showing Carturan involved in the preparation of illicit substances while confined to a wheelchair, portraying a disturbing contrast to his previous narrative of being a victim.

These revelations have sparked debate over the true nature of Carturan’s ordeal and the motives behind his actions, leaving many puzzled about the authenticity of his claims.
