Share this @internewscast.com

A glamorous aspiring actress has been arrested alongside a group of ‘crypto bros’ over a sadistic kidnap and torture plot inside a stunning Manhattan mansion.

Beatrice Folchi, 24, who lives in Connecticut but is originally from Italy, was seen being led out of the $75,000-per-month brownstone Soho home on Saturday.

It comes after a 28-year-old Italian tourist escaped the ‘house of horrors’ and flagged down a nearby cop after being locked away for three weeks.

Officers raided the address and 37-year-old John Woeltz was arrested and dramatically dragged out of the building in a white bath robe.

The victim was lured to the house under false pretenses before Woeltz – his former business associate – allegedly tried to extort millions from his crypto account.

The accused is said to have chained him up, electrocuted him, pistol-whipped him and threatened to cut him up with a chainsaw if he did not hand over his passwords.

A Polaroid found by investigators is said to show the man tied to a chair with a gun to his head – an image believed to pressure his family back home.

Police also recovered night vision goggles, a bulletproof vest, broken glass and a firearm at the scene.

Beatrice Folchi, 24, a striking brunette with a background in marketing for Rolls-Royce, was taken into custody on Friday at the $75,000-a-month SoHo townhouse

Folchi, an Italian-born marketing manager and small-time actress, was reportedly working as Woeltz’s assistant at the time of the alleged crimes.

She was charged with first-degree kidnapping and first-degree unlawful imprisonment.

‘I’m not arrested,’ Folchi told reporters on Saturday. ‘Everything is going to be told but with a lawyer – I can’t make any comments right now.’

Folchi, according to her now-scrubbed LinkedIn profile, studied communication and philosophy at the University of Connecticut from 2017 to 2020.

Her professional bio claimed she had experience working with high-end brands like Puma, Manchester City, Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Meanwhile, her IMDB and Backstage pages detail minor roles in short films, including a 2021 indie titled Butterfly Wings. Her social media is now mostly locked down.

Friends from the Connecticut suburbs where her family once lived told reporters her parents had recently rented out their home and returned to Italy.

The victim, after enduring nearly three weeks of captivity, made a daring escape on Friday afternoon. 

According to law enforcement sources, he had been told by his captors they planned to kill him later that day.

Bruised, cut, and visibly shaken, he ran through the streets of Lower Manhattan and flagged down a police officer.

Officers raided the Prince Street apartment and arrested Woeltz who was barefoot and wearing only a bathrobe at the time.

Investigators believe the motive was purely financial and the victim had been targeted specifically for his crypto holdings.

The victim is now recovering in a New York hospital. As of Saturday, no additional suspects have been named.

Woeltz, who previously kept a low profile despite flaunting crypto wealth online, is being held pending arraignment at Manhattan Criminal Court.

He faces a barrage of felony charges including assault, kidnapping, and unlawful imprisonment.
