Third Suspect Cuffed in Brutal Manhattan Bitcoin Kidnapping—Because Even Crypto Can’t Escape Crime

NYPD just bagged another alleged perpetrator in the twisted case of a Bitcoin investor kidnapped and tortured for his crypto keys. Turns out, decentralized finance doesn’t mean decentralized violence.
Law enforcement’s net widens as the third arrest exposes the dark underbelly of digital asset wealth—where Lambo dreams meet old-school extortion tactics. The perps clearly missed the memo about crypto’s ‘be your own bank’ ethos.
And here’s the kicker: Wall Street still thinks *this* is the risky asset class. At least Bitcoin thieves leave an immutable ledger trail—unlike your friendly neighborhood hedge fund.
