One of the crypto bros accused of sadistically tormenting an Italian millionaire in a Manhattan townhouse was sprung on $1 million bond Thursday after spending two months behind bars.

John Woeltz, 37, was released from Rikers Island just a week after a Manhattan judge granted the accused madman and his accomplice, William Duplessie, 33, bail in the shocking alleged kidnapping and torture of Italian crypto trader Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan.

Woeltz dodged questions about whether he tortured Carturan and how it felt to be freed from jail as he walked out of Manhattan Supreme Court — after trading his prison garb for an oversized purple polo shirt, with a white T-shirt underneath and blue denim jeans.

The bond was a combination of cash and property put up by Woeltz’s father, according to sources — and was secured by celebrity bondsman Ira Judelson.

The alleged kidnapper had been holed up in the city’s jail since his arrest on May 23 after prosecutors alleged he tortured Carturan for his Bitcoin password, including lighting him on fire and cutting him with a chainsaw.

His release comes after Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro granted the seven-figure bail package on July 23 after attorneys for the crypto bros argued that the so-called torture was akin to “fraternity-like hazing.”

The judge agreed to spring the pair free — with the stipulation they couldn’t pay in cryptocurrency.

During the quick hearing Thursday, Woeltz, who appeared in a tan prison jumpsuit, was released to home confinement and placed on electronic monitoring.

The judge warned him that the monitoring bracelet must remain charged while he’s out of jail or it could have consequences.

“If it happens, you’re not going to be on electronic monitoring anymore,” Carro said.

The judge told Woeltz that he can only leave his home for doctor’s appointments, lawyer meetings or during an emergency.

The hard-partying duo allegedly tortured Carturan, who has since returned to Italy, at a swanky SoHo townhouse in order to hijack his Bitcoin password worth $100 million, according to law-enforcement sources.

Woeltz, a Kentucky-based cryptocurrency investor, allegedly threatened the 28-year-old victim’s family in Italy — while subjecting him to humiliation by having people urinate on him and forcing him to take drugs during captivity, authorities have said.

But Woeltz’s attorney, Wayne Gosnell, waved off the alleged torture tactics — some of which were captured on video and photo — as a “long running frat party.”

“Mr. Carturan was there in the role of a pledge. He was essentially pledging and being hazed,” Gosnell said at a previous hearing.

Prosecutors were seeking to keep Woeltz and Duplessie locked up without bail — citing that the pair wrote a “manifesto” detailing plans to steal the foreigners’ cryptocurrency — but the judge denied their request.

Duplessie, of Miami, Fla., was not released Thursday.

The pair has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping charges.

Both defendants are scheduled to appear in court next on October 15.
