NYC Mayor’s Security Detail Implicated in Crypto Kidnapping
An NYPD detective assigned to Mayor Adams’ security detail is under investigation for allegedly delivering a cryptocurrency kidnapping victim to his captors. Two individuals, John Woeltz and William Duplessie, have been charged with kidnapping and torturing the victim to obtain his Bitcoin password. The detective, along with a second detective from the Narcotics Division, were placed on modified assignment pending the outcome of the investigation into their potential involvement. Both detectives reportedly secured off-duty employment through a private company, without the NYPD’s knowledge or approval.
