BlockBeats news, on November 19, according to Cointelegraph, Washington D.C. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced one of the suspects in the Bitfinex hacking case, Heather Morgan (the rapper 'Razzlekhan'), to 18 months in prison during the hearing on November 18.
In August 2023, Morgan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and fraud, as she is the wife and accomplice of hacker Ilya Lichtenstein, who stole 120,000 bitcoins from the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex in 2016 and laundered them.
On November 14, Judge Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Lichtenstein to five years in prison, far below the 20 years allowed by sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors noted that the hacker provided 'substantial assistance' in other investigations and that he had no prior criminal record.
