In a recent development, Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan, who was involved in the laundering of funds from the 2016 Bitfinex hack masterminded by her husband Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein, has been handed an 18-month prison sentence. The incident saw nearly 120,000 bitcoins being drained from the popular cryptocurrency exchange.
Morgan’s role in the illegal scheme has led to legal consequences, with the court ruling in favor of an 18-month jail term for her involvement in the high-profile hack. The Bitfinex hack, which took place in 2016, sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency community and raised concerns about the security of digital assets held on exchanges.
As the investigation into the hack unfolded, Morgan’s connection to the illicit activities became clear, leading to her recent sentencing. The court’s decision to impose an 18-month prison term on Morgan serves as a warning to others involved in similar criminal activities within the cryptocurrency space.
