A second cryptocurrency investor has surrendered to police in the alleged kidnapping and torture of a man who told authorities he was brutally beaten and held for weeks inside an upscale Manhattan townhouse by captors seeking the password to access his Bitcoin. William Duplessie, 32, will face charges of kidnapping and false imprisonment, according to New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Another crypto investor, John Woeltz, was arrested Friday, hours after the victim escaped the posh Soho house and fled, bloodied and barefoot, into the Manhattan street.
