Heather Morgan, aka “Razzlekhan” or “Crocodile of Wall Street,” was sentenced to 18 months in prison for her role in laundering stolen Bitfinex Bitcoin worth more than $10 billion.
Morgan, 34, and her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein, 35, were involved in the high-profile hack of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex in 2016. The heist resulted in the theft of more than 119,000 BTC.

Razzlekhan convicted for her role in what is now a multi-billion dollar heist and now has a Netflix documentary on the way
A federal judge sentenced Heather Morgan to 18 months in prison for helping her husband, Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein, launder stolen Bitcoin. Lichtenstein admitted to operating the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange in 2016 and pocketing more than 119,000 Bitcoins.
At the time, the stolen BTC was worth $71 million, while today it totals over $10 billion.
Before her arrest, Morgan was best known as a (terrible) rapper, a Forbes and Inc. blogger, and an entrepreneur. When the Justice Department announced her arrest, the internet quickly discovered her crypto-themed rap videos, which she made under the name “Razzlekhan.”
The full story of Morgan and Dutch is being turned into a Netflix documentary series aptly named “The Greatest Heist of All Time.” The timing is perfect following Morgan’s sentencing as he is expected to be released early next month on December 6th.

It was noted that Morgan and Lichtenstein both received lenient sentences for cooperating with authorities in other investigations.
