What we know about the NYC crypto kidnapping and torture case

2 men are accused of torturing a 28-year-old man over his Bitcoin password.

I just read the story about the Italian kidnapped by a New York couple and tortured to disclose the credentials for his crypto assets - and the first thing that came to mind was XKCD 538 "Security" about the five dollar wrench.

Am I a bad person?
