‘Crypto Bros’ Taunted Hostage with Chainsaw to Get Bitcoin Password: Cops

An Italian tourist approached a traffic agent on the streets of New York City last week and reported that he’d been kidnapped and held hostage. He claimed the men who held him wanted the password to his cryptocurrency wallet, which reportedly contained millions of dollars in Bitcoin. According to prosecutors, the man was tortured for refusing to give it up. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber discussed what we know about the investigation so far with former NYPD officer David Sarni.
