New York police arrest cryptocurrency trader John Woeltz. Prosecutors accuse him of, along with another wanted suspect, detaining an Italian man for up to 17 days at a residence in Manhattan in May, and forcing him to give up his Bitcoin wallet password through beatings, electric shocks, and gun threats. The police say the three had been conducting business together for years, and the case may involve disputes among partners. The victim eventually escaped and reported the incident; police found guns, bloodstains, and multiple photos of the victim tied up at the scene. Reports state that Woeltz's personal assets are approximately $100 million, and the victim's assets are about $30 million. (NBC News)
