A federal judge sentenced Heather Morgan, also known as Razzlekhan, to 18 months in prison for laundering stolen Bitcoin connected to Bitfinex.
One of the two individuals responsible for laundering stolen Bitcoin connected to the 2016 hack of crypto exchange Bitfinex has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Washington, DC, District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Heather Morgan — also known by her rapper alter ego “Razzlekhan” — to 18 months in prison in a Nov. 18 hearing. Morgan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and defraud the United States in August 2023.
Morgan and her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein, admitted to laundering millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin (BTC) stolen from Bitfinex before their 2022 arrests. US authorities initially suspected the couple had only been responsible for laundering the stolen funds, but Lichtenstein later admitted in court to hacking the exchange.
