Crypto Investor Arrested in NYC for Kidnapping, Torturing Man Over Bitcoin Password

A crypto investor, John Woeltz, 37, was arrested in Manhattan for allegedly kidnapping and torturing a 28-year-old Italian man to access his Bitcoin wallet. The victim, held for weeks in a luxury townhouse, was bound, beaten, drugged, and electrocuted before escaping on Friday. Woeltz faces charges of kidnapping, assault, and weapons possession. Evidence included cocaine, night vision goggles, and Polaroids of the victim at gunpoint.

This incident underscores a rising trend of violent "wrench attacks" targeting crypto holders, with at least 26 such cases reported in 2025, including a recent attempted kidnapping in Paris and a $123,000 theft in London.

On Binance the "high" was $111959, in my opinion sell orders may start when it reached 112k on Binance. Otherwise it may if go to 115k.

We just peaked at a new all-time high of $112,000, mind-blowing! Wonder when most will take profits.

This footage is from April 2013 on the TV show The Closing Bell. It highlights a powerful lesson: sometimes it's smarter to embrace something new rather than dismiss it.

Being early—or taking a risk—can pay off big time!

Previous all-time high was $109,114.88 — and we’re getting very close to that now. The big question, of course, is whether we’ll see a breakout or if this turns into a consolidation phase with some profit-taking. Personally, I think opening a short around $110,000 makes sense.

As of May 20, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at approximately $104,846 USD, reflecting a 2.32% increase from the previous close. The day's trading has seen highs of $106,705 and lows of $102,411.

Bitcoin’s not far from its all-time high again. It might need serious momentum to push much further, but it’s still impressive how it bounced back from around 76,000 USD in late March to over 105,000 USD now.

In my opinion, it’s also the safest crypto to trade. Most other coins can swing wildly and catch you off guard, especially if you’re trading with leverage.

Ho guys what do you think about cryptocurrencies?
Will it boom or have a massive downfall?

Sebastian Vettel made that mistake, and now Lewis Hamilton has made it too. Thinking they can win a championship with Ferrari.

But the hard reality is, the team always finds a way to mess things up. They’re just not competitive anymore on so many levels. I honestly don’t see them getting their hands on the trophy now, or even in the next decade—if ever.

Rubio calls Russian counterpart to discuss outcome of negotiations between Ukraine, Moscow
Marco Rubio welcomed the agreements reached on the exchange of prisoners of war and the intention of each side to prepare its own proposals outlining the conditions necessary for a ceasefire
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday (May 17, 2025) called his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, to discuss the outcome of Friday’s direct negotiations between delegations of Kyiv and Moscow in Istanbul.
Probably, Mr. Rubio’s call to his counterpart on Saturday indicates that both Moscow and Washington are working on an early US-Russian summit.

Have you ever stopped to think how much artificial intelligence influences your life — even before you leave the house in the morning?

You wake up. Your phone’s alarm learns your habits and gradually adjusts based on your sleep patterns. That’s AI.

You check the weather. The forecast? Powered by predictive models that analyze massive amounts of climate data in real-time. That’s AI.

You scroll through your feed. The posts you see are chosen by algorithms trained to show what’s most likely to catch your attention — again, AI.

Even your coffee machine might be using AI to learn when you usually brew your morning cup.

The truth is, AI isn’t some futuristic robot. It’s already around you — smart assistants, recommendation systems, navigation apps, fitness trackers — all making decisions for you, often without you noticing.

So the next time you think AI is "coming soon"… remember, it already woke you up today.

Sure, it might hold value or even double, but that’s no reason to throw your life savings into it.

There are tons of wild predictions about Bitcoin hitting 1 million USD, but that’s pure nonsense and seriously misleading. BTC won’t just 10x in an uncertain market — it’s still tied to global economics, trade wars, and geopolitics.

The Red Bull is definitely faster on this track. Max should be able to lock in P3 on Sunday, which would still keep him just a few points behind in the championship. If they can bring some solid upgrades soon, the car might end up on par with the McLarens. I still think Max is on track for the title

Was hoping Red Bull would be more competitive, but Verstappen’s way off the pace in Bahrain right now. Really hope this isn’t shaping up to be another boring race—just a McLaren procession at the front this time.

Looking to short a token? $MELANIA (Melania Meme Token) might be your top choice. It’s been falling since launch, and let’s face it—Melania Trump isn’t promoting this. A solid bet for shorts, but beware of squeezes. Never risk more than 5% of your trading account.
