He and a business partner spent weeks torturing a third business partner, an Italian citizen, who came to New York City on May 6, law enforcement sources said.” Woeltz and the partner allegedly took the victim's passport and electronic devices, then demanded he give them his Bitcoin password. When the 28-year-old refused to comply, that's when the torture started, police said. He was bound by his wrists, pistol-whipped, had a gun held to his head, a chainsaw used on his leg, and urinated on. His captors also dangled him off the building as threatened his family.” Would you have given up your bitcoin wallet if tortured? Or are you taking it to the grave?
