NYC Men Plead Not Guilty in Crypto Kidnapping Case

John Woeltz and William Duplessie pled not guilty in a New York court after being accused of kidnapping an Italian man in SoHo to steal his cryptocurrency.

The case underscores personal security risks for cryptocurrency holders, but has not affected Bitcoin’s market value or the wider crypto market environment.

John Woeltz and William Duplessie are charged with kidnapping, assault, and weapons possession after allegedly holding an Italian national in SoHo, NYC. NYPD Chief John Chell noted it was a “dispute over crypto money” involving the victim’s Bitcoin holdings.

Both men, reputed blockchain investors, are believed to have prior engagements in the crypto industry but are not known for leadership roles in major projects. Defense lawyers submitted not guilty pleas (ABC News), with no further public statements from the duo.

“From what we know now, this was a dispute over crypto money. They all know each other, but this was a kidnapping for roughly 17 days, where they tortured this person” – John Chell, NYPD Chief.

The allegations center around an attempt to force access to significant Bitcoin assets held by the victim. Law enforcement indicated that there were no systemic shifts in Bitcoin price or liquidity traceable to the event.

There is no reported institutional impact or changes in funding due to this isolated incident. Historical parallels can be drawn to previous individual-targeted crypto extortion cases, which rarely affect system-wide crypto protocols.

While the case highlights potential risks for individuals with significant crypto holdings, no market-wide regulatory or technological responses have been initiated. The situation remains a matter between private individuals and the legal system, with no indications of broader systemic risks.
