【Bitfinex Hacker Attack Case Money Laundering Accomplice Heather Morgan Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison】On November 19, news reported that U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced Heather Morgan (the rapper "Razzlekhan"), one of the suspects in the Bitfinex hacker attack case, to 18 months in prison during a hearing on November 18. In August 2023, Morgan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and fraud charges. 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, well below the 20 years allowed by sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors pointed out that the hacker provided "substantial assistance" in other investigations and that he had no prior criminal record.
