Odaily Planet Daily reported that U.S. prosecutors suggested to the judge that Ilya Lichtenstein, the mastermind of the Bitfinex cryptocurrency theft, should be sentenced to five years in prison, and Lichtenstein, who pleaded guilty last year, should serve more time than his wife and accomplice Heather Morgan. Prosecutors did not ask for the maximum sentence for Lichtenstein, taking into account his cooperation in other criminal cases. Earlier this year, he testified in the Bitcoin Fog mixing service money laundering case prosecuted by the government. The two will be sentenced in November. (Bloomberg) Earlier, U.S. prosecutors asked Heather Morgan (better known for her rapper name "Razzlekhan") to be sentenced to 18 months in prison for her involvement in laundering 120,000 bitcoins stolen from Bitfinex in the 2016 hack. It is reported that in August 2023, Morgan pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, each of which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
