Crypto Heist Mastermind Sentenced to 5 Years for $1B Bitcoin Theft
Ilya 'Dutch' Lichtenstein was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in a major Bitcoin heist, where he and his wife, Heather Morgan, laundered money stolen from the Bitfinex exchange in 2016. Lichtenstein and Morgan, who pleaded guilty last year, attempted to conceal the proceeds from the hack, which are now valued at billions. Morgan, also known as 'Razzlekhan,' is set to be sentenced on November 18, with prosecutors recommending an 18-month sentence for her.
