蒂恩：威廉·杜普莱西（William Duplese）和约翰·沃尔茨（John Woeltz）不认罪，被命令被拘留

o说他被两个加密货币投资者绑架，因为他的比特币被视为“笑着微笑”

A man who claims he was kidnapped by two crypto investors for his Bitcoin was seen in photos and videos “laughing and smiling” and moving about Manhattan freely during the days he says he was held captive and tortured, lawyers for the two suspects said Wednesday.

一名男子声称自己被两名加密货币投资者绑架，因为他的比特币被绑架了，在照片和视频“笑着微笑”中，并在他说自己被俘虏和酷刑的日子里自由地四处走动，并遭受了酷刑。

William Duplessie and John Woeltz pleaded not guilty and were ordered held in custody until their next court date on July 15.

威廉·杜普莱西（William Duplessie）和约翰·沃尔茨（John Woeltz）不认罪，并被勒令被拘留，直到7月15日的下一次开庭日期。

Prosecutors argue the man was clearly in distress because he ran barefoot to the nearest police officer after escaping 17 days in captivity.

检察官辩称，这名男子显然处于困境之中，因为他赤脚被囚禁了17天后，赤脚跑到最近的警察。

However, Duplessie’s lawyer said that videos show the accuser participating in group sex and smoking crack cocaine while “laughing and smiling the whole time.” This shows that his story about being in distress or held against his will “is entirely false.”

但是，Dupleseie的律师说，视频显示了原告参加团体性行为和吸烟可卡因，同时“一直在笑和微笑”。这表明他关于陷入困境或违背自己的意志的故事“完全是错误的”。

In other photos, the accuser is seen visiting an eyeglass store with one of the defendants, he said, adding he could have fled or sought help at any time.

他说，在其他照片中，被指控者与一名被告一起去了一家眼镜商店，并补充说，他可以随时逃离或寻求帮助。

“The story that he is selling doesn’t make sense,” Sam Talkin said in Manhattan criminal court as the defendants were formally arraigned.

萨姆·泰恩（Sam Talkin）在曼哈顿刑事法院说：“他所卖的故事没有意义。”

Woeltz’s lawyer Wayne Gosnell added that witnesses told him the accuser came and went as he pleased from the upscale townhouse where he says he was held — going to church, clubs and dinners.

沃尔茨的律师韦恩·戈斯内尔（Wayne Gosnell）补充说，目击者告诉他，原告来来往往，他从高档的联排别墅中欣赏了他说自己被拘留的地方 - 去教堂，俱乐部和晚餐。

The accuser, a 28-year-old Italian national, has not been named by officials. Prosecutors say the defendants knew him personally.

原告是一名28岁的意大利国民，尚未由官员命名。检察官说，被告人亲自认识他。

Someone who supports the defendants has been selectively leaking videos to present a counternarrative of the events, the prosecutor said.

检察官说，支持被告的人一直在有选择地泄露视频，以展示事件的不利事件。

“Victims of abuse are not always going to act the way that we expect them to,” Khan said, adding that prosecutors have other photos showing the accuser being set on fire.

汗说：“虐待受害者并不总是会按照我们期望的方式行事。”

When prodded by the judge, she explained that he didn’t actually sustain any burn injuries because the defendants would quickly douse the flames, sometimes by urinating on him.

当法官扮演法官时，她解释说他实际上并没有承受任何烧伤伤害，因为被告会迅速扑灭火焰，有时是通过小便。

Prosecutors believe this is not the first time the defendants have held a person against their will, she said. They’re aware of two other potential victims in two other locations.

她说，检察官认为这不是被告第一次违背自己的意愿持有人。他们知道另外两个地方还有另外两个潜在的受害者。

Khan argued that holding the two men in custody “remains the only option” because they’re both flight risks. Their lawyers had sought their release on $1 million bail and home confinement with their parents.

可汗辩称，将这两名男子拘留“仍然是唯一的选择”，因为它们都是飞行的风险。他们的律师寻求释放他们的100万美元保释金和与父母的家庭禁令。

The two face up to life in prison if convicted, she said.

她说，如果被定罪，两人面对生命。

Duplessie, 32, and Woeltz, 37, appeared handcuffed in prison uniforms and didn’t speak in court other than to formally enter their pleas. They face charges of kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment and criminal possession of a weapon.

现年32岁的Duplessie和37岁的Woeltz出现在监狱制服上，除了正式进入他们的请求外，没有在法庭上讲话。他们面临绑架，殴打，非法监禁和犯罪武器的指控。

Prosecutors say on May 6, the two men lured the victim to a townhouse in Manhattan’s posh SoHo neighborhood by threatening to kill his family.

检察官说，5月6日，两名男子通过威胁要杀死他的家人，将受害者引诱到曼哈顿豪华Soho附近的联排别墅。

The man said the two investors tormented him with electrical wires, forced him to smoke from a crack pipe and at one point dangled him from a staircase five stories high.

该男子说，两名投资者用电线折磨了他，迫使他从裂缝管中抽烟，并在某一时刻将他从楼梯五个楼梯中悬挂。

The man said he eventually agreed to hand over his computer password, then managed to flee as his captors went to retrieve the device.

该男子说，他最终同意交出他的计算机密码，然后在绑架者检索设备时设法逃离。

Woeltz has described himself in interviews as a blockchain investor who spent time in Silicon Valley before returning to Kentucky’s burgeoning crypto-mining industry. Duplessie is listed as a founder or investor at various blockchain-based companies.

沃尔茨（Woeltz）在采访中将自己描述为一个区块链投资者，他在硅谷度过了一段时间，然后才返回肯塔基州的新兴加密货币行业。 Duplessie被列为各种基于区块链的公司的创始人或投资者。

New York City police are also investigating two detectives who worked security at the townhouse.

纽约市警方还正在调查两名在联排别墅工作的侦探。

The officers have been placed on modified leave pending the outcome of the inquiry, although their lawyer has said there’s no indication either officer witnessed any of the alleged criminal activity.

官员们在调查结果之前被安排在修改后，尽管他们的律师表示没有任何迹象表明任何一名官员都目睹了任何所谓的犯罪活动。
