Overview

• Italian businessman Michael Carturan was allegedly abducted on May 6 and held until May 23 by crypto investors John Woeltz and William Duplessie seeking his Bitcoin wallet password.
• Newly released mid-May clips depict Carturan shirtless and smiling at sex parties hosted in a SoHo townhouse with women said to have been recruited by a madam.
• Prosecutors allege the duo tortured Carturan with beatings, electric shocks and dangling him from a staircase to force him to reveal his crypto credentials.
• A search of the property uncovered cocaine, body armor, a saw, night-vision goggles and polaroid photos of Carturan with a gun pointed at his head.
• Woeltz and Duplessie remain jailed without bail on charges including kidnapping, assault and weapons possession as the NYPD and Manhattan DA probe the case.
