美聯社報導說，美國30多歲的美國虛擬貨幣投資者在曼哈頓的一間豪華公寓裡囚禁了一個外國人

A U.S. virtual currency investor in his 30s imprisoned a foreign man in a luxury apartment in Manhattan, New York, for more than two weeks and tortured him to give out the password of his Bitcoin electronic wallet, an official said on Monday.

一位官員周一說，一名30多歲的美國虛擬貨幣投資者將一名外國人囚禁在紐約曼哈頓的一間豪華公寓中，持續了兩個多星期，並折磨了他，以提供他的比特幣電子錢包的密碼。

The Manhattan District Prosecutors' Office in New York has arrested John Waltz, 37, a cryptocurrency investor, on charges of kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree possession of a firearm.

紐約的曼哈頓地區檢察官辦公室已逮捕了37歲的加密貨幣投資者的約翰·沃爾茲（John Waltz），罪名是綁架，毆打，非法監禁和第四級擁有槍支。

Prosecutors said Waltz met the victim, A, 28, an Italian national, at a bar in December and later invited him to his apartment in Manhattan.

檢察官說，沃爾茲在12月的一家酒吧里遇到了28歲的受害者，A，28歲，一名意大利國民，後來邀請他去曼哈頓的公寓。

On December 6, Waltz is accused of locking A in the apartment and demanding that he hand over the password of his Bitcoin wallet.

12月6日，華爾茲（Waltz）被指控將A鎖在公寓中，並要求他移交他的比特幣錢包密碼。

When A refused, Waltz assaulted and tortured him, threatening to administer drugs, administer electric shock torture and to have a group of accomplices - who are currently being tracked by investigators - come to the apartment and tell the password of A's Bitcoin electronic wallet.

當一個拒絕時，華爾茲襲擊並折磨了他，威脅要服用毒品，進行電擊折磨，並擁有一群同夥 - 目前正在調查員跟踪的同夥 - 來到公寓，並告訴A的比特幣電子錢包的密碼。

Waltz also threatened A's family, saying it would be dangerous and that he would kill them while hanging from the railing of the stairs.

沃爾茲還威脅著A的家人，稱這是危險的，他會在樓梯的欄杆上吊死時殺死他們。

A, who came to fear for his life, told Waltz that his password was stored on his laptop in another room.

害怕生命的A告訴華爾茲，他的密碼存儲在另一個房間的筆記本電腦上。

As Waltz turned his back to get his laptop, A managed to escape from the apartment and ran outside, where he was able to flag down a traffic police officer on a nearby street.

當沃爾茲轉過身去拿起筆記本電腦時，一個設法從公寓裡逃脫了，跑到外面，在那裡他能夠在附近的一條街道上標記一名交通警察。

The officer contacted the New York Police Department, which arrived at the scene and arrested Waltz.

該官員聯繫了到達現場並逮捕了華爾茲的紐約警察局。

A is currently being treated at the hospital.

A目前正在醫院接受治療。
