Millionaire Bro Crypto Torture Plot Takes Bizarre New Twist
An NYPD detective reportedly provided security at a ritzy SoHo townhouse where two cryptocurrency kingpins allegedly kidnapped and tortured an Italian tourist to obtain his Bitcoin passcode. The detective, News 4 New York reported Thursday, is part of Mayor Eric Adams' security detail. Both he and another member of the force were placed on modified desk duty this week. The detective, who was working off-duty, is also believed to have picked up the tourist at the airport, sources told the outlet. It's unknown how aware either NYPD member was of what allegedly took place at the Prince Street townhouse. 'Every city employee is expected to follow the law, including our officers, both on and off duty,' City Hall told the NBC affiliate in a statement. 'We are disturbed by these allegations, and as soon as it came to our attention, the officers were placed on modified duty. The investigation is ongoing.' Two men, John Woeltz and William Duplessie, have been taken into custody for allegedly holding the tourist captive for 17 days. The 28-year-old Italian national told police that they stole his passport and electronic devices upon his arrival, and demanded his Bitcoin passcode. When he refused, their methods of torture included shocking him with electric wires, putting a gun to his head, hitting him with the gun, holding a chainsaw to his leg, and dangling him over the ledge of the five-story staircase. After relinquishing his password last Friday, the victim managed to escape the $40,000 per month townhouse and flag down an NYPD traffic cop. Police said he was shoeless and bloodied. Prosecutors said that when police arrived on scene, they found Polaroid photos depicting the alleged abuse. They also found cocaine, body armor, a gun and ammunition, and chicken wire. Woeltz, who has been referred to as the Crypto King of Kentucky, has a net worth of around $100 million, according to NBC New York. The 37-year-old was arrested Friday in his bathrobe outside the townhouse. Woeltz was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday and denied bail. He has a June 11 arraignment, at which time the charges will be unsealed. Duplessie, who had been living in Switzerland, was an early supporter of Bitcoin, having claimed back in 2017 that the value of one unit would reach $1 million. He turned himself in on Tuesday, with an indictment forthcoming. Sources told News 4 New York that the three men's relationship was complex, and like 'Wolf of Wall Street/frat guys gone wild.'

Leonardo DiCaprio attended his 1st Met Gala and we all missed it
Leonardo DiCaprio made his Met Gala debut on Monday night -- behind closed doors. The actor was photographed at the gala by Vogue, the organizers of the annual affair, walking beside supermodel Vittoria Ceretti while shielding his face from photographers. Vogue reported that it was DiCaprio's first time attending the event. Notably, DiCaprio did not walk the blue carpet despite evidently attending the event. Vogue described the "Wolf of Wall Street" actor's outfit as a "sleek tuxedo." DiCaprio was one of several big names to attend this year's Met Gala, a fundraiser benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, which aligns with the opening of its annual fashion exhibition. A-listers in attendance at the 2025 Met Gala included Rihanna, Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Colman Domingo, Jeremy Allen White, Lewis Hamilton and many more. Stars offered their best interpretation of this year's Met Gala theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The dress code for the event was "Tailored for You," which was "a nod to the exhibition's focus on suiting and menswear, from specific silhouettes to various fabrics and accessories -- that is purposefully designed to both provide guidance and invite creative interpretation," according to a press release.

Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, and Vittoria Ceretti, 26, vacation in Spain as they approach two-year anniversary
Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti are enjoying some downtime in Ibiza, Spain. The Wolf of Wall Street star, 50, and his lady love, 26, started their day with some shopping at a local boutique. The loved up couple - who are approaching their two-year anniversary of dating - were accompanied by another couple as they returned to their posh rental villa. Leo and Vittoria were also spotted dining at Casa Joundal, an upscale beachfront restaurant where a caviar-topped wagyu steak tartar will set you back an eyewatering $295. It was the third time in two weeks that the photogenic couple ate at the new hotspot in the legendary party capital. The What's Eating Gilbert Grape actor was still sporting the dyed goatee and eyebrows he debuted at CinemaCon in Las Vegas in March. Vittoria looked like a rock star in a soft grey t-shirt and black jeans with a white black belt with four rows of silver studs. She completed her look with a cozy black cardigan and had her dark hair pulled into a bun. Leo wore a black bomber jacket over a white t-shirt with grey cargo pants. His ever-present ball cap and sunglasses helped to disguise his famous face. Leo sported a noticeably slimmer figure while vacationing in Ibiza. 'Leo has shed pounds before but this time is different because it isn't for a movie role,' a source close to DiCaprio told the Daily Mail. 'He is getting healthy and fit to keep up with Vittoria. She's a great influence on him and he is very much in love with her. She's a part of his world now and he intends on keeping it that way.' And is she happy with the results? 'Vittoria is enjoying her "new man" so to speak, she is very happy with him and being several pounds under the weight he was at only a few months ago is only a good thing, she certainly doesn't hate it,' said another source close to the actor. It was the third time in two weeks that the photogenic couple ate at the new hotspot in the legendary party capital The What's Eating Gilbert Grape actor was still sporting the dyed goatee and eyebrows he debuted at CinemaCon in Las Vegas in March 'But in no way was she turned off from what he looked like before.' The once interminable bachelor is said to be serious about Ceretti after years of being teased for his apparent penchant for dumping girlfriends once they turned 25. 'With previous relationships he felt a certain pressure to make it official with talk of marriage, but there is no rush to change what [he and Ceretti] have right now,' an insider previously told the Daily Mail. 'She is the realest girlfriend he has ever had, and she makes him feel genuinely loved. You can see that they both appreciate what they have. '[She] understands that his schedule can change, and she never shows any jealousy.' DiCaprio previously admitted in a 2014 Esquire interview that women struggled with his more nomadic lifestyle. 'Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or someplace like that is not the best thing for a relationship,' he told the magazine. But Italian bombshell Ceretti – who, despite her young age, was previously married to DJ Matteo Milleri for three years – seems undeterred by DiCaprio's globetrotting. The model has accompanied him on a number of tropical vacations, with pictures showing the couple frolicking on a yacht off the coast of Sardinia, playing pickleball in the sands of the Caribbean or splashing about in the waters of St. Barts. The couple reportedly met at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, but were not romantically linked until after they were spotted enjoying an ice cream date in Los Angeles that August and hot on the heels of DiCaprio's rumored fling with model Gigi Hadid, 30. In a recent interview with Vogue France, Ceretti insisted they met 'in Milan,' but refused to divulge more details. Bizarrely, she also shared that she finds it 'annoying' when she is referred to as 'Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend.'
