I don’t know a lot about crypto security, but surely there’s no way in hell the person in the video above should have the capability to steal $4.6 billion (£3.3bn) of it. Well apparently, she does. In fact according to The Department of Justice, their confiscation of 119,754 stolen bitcoins from accounts belonging to Razzlekhan and her boyfriend is the agency’s ‘largest financial seize ever’. Holy crap!
The department named Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan AKA Razzlekhan as the individuals responsible for allegedly attempting to launder bitcoin stolen from the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. Bitfinex was targeted by hackers in August 2016 who “initiated more than 2,000 unauthorized transactions”, with the proceeds being sent to a digital wallet owned by Lichtenstein. From there they were moved to bank accounts controlled by Lichtenstein and Morgan, and I guess it took 6 years for authorities to prove the couple were involved.
On Twitter, Morgan describes herself as a “serial entrepreneur”, “surrealist artist”, “rapper”, “fashion designer”, and “also Forbes writer.” Funnily enough, she once wrote a story titled “Experts Share Tips to Protect Your Business From Cybercriminals.” Oh the irony!
Unfortunately Razzlekhan has disabled her music videos on YouTube in the wake of all this drama, but there seem to be some accounts reuploading (check out ‘Versace Bedouin’ below before it’s inevitably taken down).
Lichtenstein and Morgan are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States, which carry maximum prison sentences of 20 years and five years respectively. To be fair she should probably be in jail off the back of her music videos alone. Hit it:
