New York | A third person accused of kidnapping a man and torturing him for almost three weeks to steal his bitcoin fortune surrendered to the police in New York City on Tuesday morning, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.
The police identified the man, who has connections to Switzerland and Miami, as William Duplessie, 33. He had spent days negotiating his surrender with the Police Department after the arrest on Friday of two other suspects, according to two law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.
