The crypto bros who allegedly tortured an Italian millionaire for his Bitcoin password also held two other victims “against their will,” prosecutors revealed Wednesday – along with shocking new details about the Soho house of horrors.

John Woeltz, 37, and William Duplessie, 33, pleaded not guilty to kidnapping charges in a dramatic Manhattan Supreme Court arraignment filled with bombshell revelations – including of a graphic photo allegedly showing the pair sadistically setting their Italian captive on fire.

The twisted duo allegedly held the victim, cryptocurrency trader Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan, captive for nearly three weeks in their rented Prince Street townhouse.

A prosecutor revealed that Woeltz and Duplessie had previously held two other people from two different locations “against their will” before allegedly kidnapping Carturan last month.

No details about the other alleged kidnappings were disclosed during the hearing, but prosecutors did unveil new accusations about Carturan’s harrowing experiences.

At one point, Woeltz and Duplessie allegedly poured tequila over Carturan, lit him aflame and doused the blaze by urinating on him, prosecutors said, describing a photo.

“He luckily doesn’t have burn injuries,” the prosecutor said about Carturan, who escaped May 23 after his alleged weeks-long ordeal.
