John Woeltz, the Kentucky crypto entrepreneur accused of a heinous kidnapping and torture plot is innocent -- and being manipulated by someone else, a relative claimed to The Post.

A man known as the "crypto king of Kentucky" is being charged with the kidnapping and torture of a business partner in New York City.

Folchi, whose family lives in Connecticut, was charged with first-degree kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment.

Beatrice Folchi is the 24-year-old brunette beauty who was arrested alongside Kentucky-based crypto investor John Woeltz for the kidnap and torture of an Italian man in SoHo.
