Cryptocurrency investor John Woeltz has been charged with two counts of second-degree assault and one charge each of kidnapping, imprisonment and criminal possession of a firearm after police claim he kidnapped and tortured an Italian tourist in New York City.

Officials say a cryptocurrency investor has been arrested and charged with kidnapping, assaulting and holding a man against his will for several weeks in an upscale Manhattan town house.

The tortured and wounded victim escaped John Woeltz's house of horrors in an ordeal authorities described as “The Wolf of Wall Street” meets “American Psycho."
