Crypto bro accused of threatening ex-fiancée, holding her captive — months before NYC torture house bust, report reveals: ‘Armed and dangerous'
One of the crypto bros charged with torturing an Italian businessman in a SoHo house of horrors allegedly held his ex-fiancée captive — and threatened to kill her — months before his sensational Manhattan arrest, a new report reveals. John Woeltz – who was recently sprung from Rikers Island on a $1 million bond pending trial – descended into 'paranoid, cultlike behavior' alongside fellow accused crypto kidnapper William Duplessie, his ex alleged in a Kentucky restraining order first reported by New York Magazine Monday. 'I am afraid this person is extremely unhinged and severely mentally ill — and completely unpredictable as he reacts violently in fits of rage,' Woeltz's gal pal wrote in the restraining order application. 'He is armed and dangerous.' 3 John Woeltz, 37, is free after posting a $1 million bail. Diamond / BACKGRID The terrifying breakup came a couple of months before Woeltz and Duplessie were arrested on accusations they held Italian crypto trader Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan captive and tortured him — including with a chainsaw — for his Bitcoin password. Carturan's alleged captivity ended in May when he left the Prince Street townhouse barefoot and ran up to an NYPD traffic cop. Lawyers for Woeltz and Duplessie have argued that Carturan's weeks-long ordeal was part of a bizarre, but consensual party atmosphere in the townhouse, likening it to a 'long running frat party' in which the businessman was essentially being hazed. But the debauched duo had similarly held people captive before in Kentucky, where Woeltz hailed from and cultivated a similar twisted party atmosphere in his 10,000-square-foot mansion, prosecutors argued. 3 William Duplessie and Woeltz are accused of torturing an Italian crypto trader for his Bitcoin password. Steven Hirsch The 37-year-old, seemingly mild-mannered Woeltz's simmering violence in Kentucky boiled over in January, when he allegedly blew up at his fiancée for not loading a firearm's magazine clip for him, New York Magazine reported. Woeltz grabbed his paramour by the throat, put a gun to her head, 'screaming that he was going to kill me and that he had a hole dug to bury me in,' she wrote in a restraining order petition, according to the magazine. In an eerie echo of accusations Woeltz and Duplessie would face later, they the sadistic pair allegedly locked her in a bedroom and refused to let her leave for several hours, the report said. The fiancée, Kayla Barbour, broke up with Woeltz, and later discovered that her Mazda – which was still parked at his Kentucky house – had been shot up, with its windows blown out. Barbour — described in the article as an aspiring actress who owns a small business in Lexington, KY — and Woeltz had dated for two years and had planned to marry in Hawaii during late 2024, the magazine reported. The Post confirmed through Kentucky court records that Woeltz faces a restraining order in a domestic violence case. Woeltz, between boasts that he was crypto vigilante wanted in Russia and China, used photos of his ex's shot-up car as his phone background, the magazine reported. She couldn't be reached for comment. 3 The hard-partying crypto bros allegedly turned their SoHo townhouse into a den of horrors. AP The pair had also allegedly held a German CEO — Michael Mauer — captive in the mansion around this time. Mauer was one of three targets, along with Carturan, allegedly named in a 'manifesto' that prosecutors alleged Woeltz and Duplessie wrote detailing their whacko plans to steal foreigners' cryptocurrency in a delusional spy operation. 'We will take crypto and bitcoin from evil people that are using it to fund terrorism… It is our belief that people need to use their coin,' they allegedly wrote, prosecutors said. Woeltz's and Duplessie's respective lawyers didn't return requests for comment. Duplessie, 33, remains jailed in Rikers Island, while Woeltz has posted his $1 million bail. They both have pleaded not guilty and are due back in court Oct. 15.

Missing Man Found Alive After Surviving Week in Freezing Temperatures
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 26-year-old man was found alive on Monday after surviving a week in the remote Australian outback and enduring sub-freezing temperatures. Gach Top was located safe in the area of Jay Creek, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Alice Springs, the Northern Territory Police Force said in a media release. Why It Matters Top's discovery came two days after police had suspended a massive five-day search across rugged terrain using search parties, drones and aerial support to scour an area of 500 square kilometers. He was spotted by a resident of Jay Creek outstation, who then contacted his family, Australian outlet ABC News reported. "She was like, 'I found your brother'... it's a miracle," Top's sister, Nyaluak Top, told the outlet. What To Know Top was reported missing after he failed to attend a scheduled night shift, only hours after his last contact with his family on July 28. His vehicle, a red Mazda, was found the following morning some 7 kilometers west of Alice Springs on Larapinta Drive. The Northern Territory Police Force launched an extensive search, but on Thursday, the force's Acting Sergeant Chris Grotherr said forecast sub-zero overnight temperatures were increasing concerns for the missing man's welfare. Temperatures fell to minus 0.5 degrees Celsius (31 degrees Fahrenheit), Australian outlet 9News reported. On Saturday, the force said it was suspending the search and handing the case to the Northern Territory Police Southern Crime Division for further investigation. "I want to thank all the search teams who have done an excellent job covering a huge area over the past 5 days but, unfortunately, it hasn't produced the result we hoped for," said Grotherr in a statement.

Northern Territory Police Force - Alice Springs and Southern With the official search suspended, Top's family and a team of about 25 volunteers continued to search for him, ABC News reported. "We came [to Jay Creek outstation} and I left my number with one of the ladies," Nyaluak Top told the outlet. "We went to Hermannsburg to search for him, and when we were going back, she called me as soon as we got service." Top had managed to survive by drinking water from discarded bottles found along the roadside, St John NT Ambulance Services director Andrew Thomas told 9News. What People Are Saying Nyawuor Kong, Gach Top's stepmother, told ABC News: "Thank you to the wider community, to the indigenous community, for standing with us, and for everybody who has been praying for our family, for Gach to be found alive." Northern Territory Police Force said in a media release: "Police would like to thank members of the public for their assistance." St John NT Ambulance Services director Andrew Thomas told 9News: "We commend the local community members whose vigilance helped bring this situation to a safe outcome. Their actions likely made all the difference." What Happens Next The Northern Territory Police Force said Top had been taken to a hospital for assessment.
