A 28-year-old Italian tourist narrowly escaped a nightmare in New York City after being kidnapped and tortured for weeks in a luxury Manhattan apartment. The victim broke free Friday morning, fleeing barefoot to alert police. His alleged captor—a 37-year-old cryptocurrency investor from Kentucky—now faces charges including assault, kidnapping, and unlawful imprisonment.
The tourist arrived in America on May 6 to meet John Woeltz, a business associate he’d worked with previously. What started as a routine visit turned sinister when Woeltz allegedly stole the man’s passport and subjected him to brutal torture. Police found Polaroid photos showing the victim bound and bloodied, along with tools like a chainsaw and electric shock devices.
For over two weeks, the Italian man endured unimaginable pain in a $40,000-per-month SoHo loft. His escape came only after overpowering his captors and sprinting to a traffic cop near Prince Street. Bodycam footage shows the tourist shaking uncontrollably as he described his ordeal. Police later stormed the apartment, arresting Woeltz in his bathrobe.
This horror story exposes the lawlessness festering in radical-left cities like New York. Soft-on-crime policies and defunded police departments have turned streets into hunting grounds for predators. While hardworking Americans foot the bill for luxury apartments, criminal elites use them as torture chambers.
Authorities confirm Woeltz targeted the victim over cryptocurrency disputes. The suspect’s lavish lifestyle—bankrolled by shady crypto deals—highlights the dangers of unregulated digital markets. Meanwhile, everyday Americans suffer as elites play recklessly with others’ lives and savings.
Police are still hunting a second suspect, likely an accomplice who aided the kidnapper. The victim’s identity remains protected, but sources say he’s recovering from severe physical and psychological trauma. His courage to escape—and survive—shows the resilience missing in weak leadership.
New York’s leaders should hang their heads in shame. A tourist seeking the American dream instead found a house of horrors in their backyard. While Mayor Adams wastes time on vanity projects, criminals torture foreigners in broad daylight. This isn’t the America our founders envisioned.
Patriots demand justice. Lock up these monsters, secure our borders, and restore law and order. No more coddling criminals while victims scream for help. It’s time to take back our cities and protect the innocent from woke chaos.
