    Join Brett Johnson on this wild ride of government cover-ups and conspiracies as he sets the record straight once and for all. The Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange was hacked in August 2016. 119,756 bitcoin, worth about US$72 million at the time, was stolen. Ilya Lichtenstein, 35, and Heather Morgan, 33, were arrested in February 2022 after the government seized approximately 95,000 of those stolen bitcoin from cryptocurrency wallets in the defendants' control. They were arrested for laundering the money, not the hack. So WHO did the hack? And why are the Lichtensteins NOW in witness protection? ► The Brett Johnson Show: https://www.youtube.com/@brettjohnsonshow► Criminal Thoughts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/criminalthoughtspodcast ► Criminal Thoughts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554340715365 ► Brett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/gollumfun Follow more of Brett: https://www.thebrettjohnsonshow.com Watch Brett Johnson on the Lex Friedman Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC1LFC0KFSw&t=3s Watch Brett Johnson on the Jordan B Peterson Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz0GVLzzYlg ABOUT BRETT Brett Johnson.

    Brett takes action. A local church in Alabama is under scrutiny after allegations surface within the youth ministry about an inappropriate relationship between a 28 year old man and a 15 year old girl. When covering up or looking the other way happens, it's almost always about prioritizing money over safety and security. Can we not be better than we have been? Can we not start to call out the wrongdoing of what's going on? Can we not start to look out for people who cannot protect themselves? It's not a huge ask, but it requires action. ► Brett Johnson Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebrettjohnsonshow/ ► Brett Johnson Show Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Brett-Johnson-Show-100086202897738/ ► Criminal Thoughts Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@criminalthoughtspodcast ► Brett's Twitter: https://www.x.com/gollumfun Follow more of Brett: https://www.thebrettjohnsonshow.com Watch Brett Johnson on Lex Friedman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC1LFC0KFSw Watch Brett Johnson on the Jordan B Peterson Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz0GVLzzYlg ABOUT BRETT Brett Johnson.
