Comedic Rapper And Her Husband Arrested With Over $3.6 Billion Of Stolen Bitcoin In Possession

Self-proclaimed “irreverent comedic rapper” who goes by the name Razzlekhan, real name Heather Morgan, has been arrested alongside her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein, in connection with large Bitcoin theft. The Justice Department has taken possession of $3.6 billion worth of stolen Bitcoin reportedly carted away by a married couple, Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan.

Heather, also Razzlekhan, likes to fancy herself an “irreverent comedic rapper”. Together with her hubby, they are accused of siphoning the cryptocurrency hackers stole from Bitfinex, a Hong Kong-based currency exchange. And this was way back in 2016.

The huge 2016 break was part of a host of hackings into currency exchanges, which cleared a path for large amounts of cryptocurrency to be made away with. Ever since, according to the Times, the couple have used some of the money to buy gold, NFTs, and a Walmart gift card.

It’s also worth noting that the 119,754 Bitcoin stolen back in 2016 was worth about $71 million. As of now, that amount is worth more than $4.5 billion, the Justice Department reports.

CNBC’s Eamon Javers directs us to a 2019 video for “Versace Bedouin” to better get to meet the comedic rapper as a character.

In the clip, Morgan is seen rocking a hat that says “0FCKS”, referring to herself as the “motherf**king crocodile of Wall Street.”

 

This “rapper” with an alias of RAZZLEKHAN aka Heather Morgan was charged today in NYC, with being part of money laundering scheme that involved Billions worth of Bitcoin.

I believe she should have already been in prison for life for whatever this is. pic.twitter.com/CwHVH4kf7y
