A cryptocurrency investor has been apprehended by authorities following allegations of torturing an Italian tourist for weeks in an attempt to gain access to digital asset passwords. The 28-year-old victim managed to escape from a luxury apartment on Prince Street—reportedly rented for $30,000 to $40,000 monthly—and alerted police while bearing visible injuries.
Investigators discovered photographic evidence of the tourist bound with electric wires and subjected to threats with a firearm. The case highlights extreme risks associated with crypto wealth exposure, though no specific coins or exchanges were implicated in the crime.
