The person suspected of kidnapping and torturing an Italian man over a crypto dispute suffered his personal indignity when he was arrested — his bathrobe got here undone.
Photographer and avenue vendor Ciaran Tully was minding his personal enterprise Friday when John Woeltz was faraway from his fancy NYC residence carrying solely a gown.
As he was escorted down the steps, Tully says his gown got here undone, so cops spared him the embarrassment and bundled him again up.
Woeltz — a 37-year-old man from Kentucky — was arrested Friday in New York City after Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan — a crypto trader worth millions — had escaped from his apartment, flagged down a cop and told the harrowing story of being held captive for 2 weeks.
Woeltz reportedly was trying to get Carturan’s password to his crypto account and used brazen tactics to get his way. He was also allegedly tased while his feet were in water and threatened with an electric chainsaw.
A lady was reportedly taken into custody as a attainable confederate, however the D.A. declined to file costs pending an additional investigation.
As for Woeltz, Tully says he is disgusted that the man allegedly did this over cash. As Tully stated, if he may afford to hire the residence for $40K a month, he did not want cash that badly to do what he is accused of doing.
