NYC BITCOIN BARON’S VICIOUS PLAN: TORTURED MAN FOR CRYPTO PASSWORD

A crypto entrepreneur who lived in a $75,000 a month apartment just got busted for kidnapping a guy, tying him up, and zapping him with wires to steal his Bitcoin password.

Yes, this actually happened — in a fancy 8-bedroom Manhattan townhouse.

The victim finally escaped by pulling the classic “Sure, I’ll grab my laptop” trick and sprinted for help when the guy looked away.

The defendant is now facing life behind bars; while that apartment wasn't going to pay for itself, there's no worse way to downgrade your lifestyle than to move into a jail cell.
