Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein, 34, and his wife, Heather Rhiannon Morgan, 31, are accused of helping to “wash” 119,754 Bitcoin pilfered from Bitfinex and allegedly transferred into a digital wallet controlled by Lichtenstein, a dual citizen of both the U.S. and Russia, prosecutors announced. Court documents describe an incredibly complex investigation carried out by special agents with the IRS, FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security.

The pair wanted photos of “Dutch and all his wives,” which would be Photoshopped shots of Lichtenstein with Morgan “as Razzlekhan with multiple personas,” according to the photographer, who said the whole project “sounded exhausting.”
“I was not lying when I said I was too busy to take on this project,” he said. “But listening to these raps she made, they were so bad, I was kind of like, ‘I don’t know if I can deal with this.’ Because sometimes, for a certain price, you can make your schedule work. And I couldn’t really come up with a number.”
Morgan has been a Forbes contributor, advising burnt-out execs to “try rapping” in order to recharge their batteries. One article Morgan wrote, which was published in June 2020, was titled, “Experts Share Tips To Protect Your Business From Cybercriminals.”

A little over a week ago, Elliptic spotted $3.5 billion being moved from a crypto wallet associated with the 2016 Bitfinex hack to a new address. At the time of the theft, Bitfinex offered a reward up to $400 million for the return of the stolen Bitcoin, even if they had to pay it to the hackers themselves.
As her alter ego “Razzlekhan,” Morgan described herself as “like Genghis Khan, but with more pizzazz.”
“No one knows for sure where this rapper’s from—could be the North African desert, the jungles of Vietnam, or another universe,” her website says. “All that matters is she’s here to stick up for misfits and underdogs everywhere. (We do know that she’s descended from a nomadic tribe, though!)”

Did she lie?
A key clue may have come from the 2017 bust of an underground digital market used to launder a portion of the funds. U.S. officials said some of the money was transferred to AlphaBay, an anything-goes version of eBay hosted on the dark web.
When the site was taken down, it likely allowed authorities to access AlphaBay's internal transaction logs and connect them to a cryptocurrency account in Lichtenstein's name, according to digital currency tracking company Elliptic.
why didn't they use throwaway wallets and why would you transfer from an exchange which allows you to use your real identity
She looks like she just got to Earth and don’t quite know how to move like a person yet.
