Bitfinex hack launderer ‘Razzlekhan’ wants time served as sentencing looms
Heather Morgan has argued for no more jail time for her role in laundering some of the 120,000 Bitcoin stolen from Bitfinex by her husband Ilya Lichtenstein.
Heather Morgan, also known as the rapper “Razzlekhan,” has asked to avoid more prison time ahead of her sentencing for her role in laundering the Bitcoin her husband stole from the crypto exchange Bitfinex.
“Ms. Morgan has proven herself worthy of a second chance, and we respectfully ask this Court to give her that chance by imposing a sentence of time served,” Morgan’s lawyers asked a Washington, DC, federal court in an Oct. 31 filing.
They added she was subject to “difficult conditions” in her week-long pretrial incarceration — having to recover from surgery and getting COVID-19 — and, since her release in mid-February 2022, had “complied fully with the restrictive terms of pretrial release.”
