The ultimate cringey crypto couple has fessed up to their crimes and are now testifying against other con artists. We're looking back on how Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather “Razzlekahn” Morgan hacked a major cryptocurrency exchange in the summer of 2016 and ran off with billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin. The stolen crypto sat unspent for months, and the crime seemed all but impossible to trace… until two surprisingly savvy federal agents began investigating on the black market. As they followed the money, it led them to our wacky, and tacky, international cyber-criminals. Listen to Scamfluencers on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to another episode of the Criminal Thoughts podcast! Today, we delve into the controversial world of cybercrime and cryptocurrency, focusing on the infamous Bitfinex theft and money laundering scandal. Our host is joined by Christopher Anderson, an attorney with extensive experience and deep insights into these complex cases.

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.

Johnson was sentenced to 90 months in Federal Prison. End of story? Not hardly. Brett found redemption through his sister, his wife Michele, and finally the FBI.

Now this is the story all about how,My life got flipped-turned upside down,And I'd like to take a minute, just grab a sheet,I'll tell you how I became the Crocodile of a town called Wall Street. *biuuuu bi bi biuu biuu. Bi bi bibibi biu biuuu. Bibibibiuuu. bibibi biu biuuu* In West California, not born but raisedIn the Nerdworld is where I spent most of my days.Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool,And all shootin' some videos outside of the school. When my husband a guy who was up to no good, Started stealin' crypto in my neighborhood. I got in one little heist and the police got scared, And said "You're movin' into prison that's what we declared." I whistled for a cab, and when it came near,The license plate said "Croc" and it had dice in the mirror.If anything I could say that this cab was neat,But I thought "Nah forget it, Yo homes to Wall Street!” I pulled up to the house about seven or eight, and I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes, smell ya later."Looked at my kingdom, I was finally freed,To sit on my throne as the Crocodile of Wall Street.

Alberta in Canada has withdrawn its bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. It follows a decision last month by the Australian state of Victoria to pull out of hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Both say that the event is simply too expensive - and would cost as much as $2bn. We speak to the CEO of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games about the impact of this. An amateur rapper and her husband have pleaded guilty to trying to launder $4.5bn (£3.5bn) of Bitcoin that he had stolen in a hack in 2016. Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein were arrested last year in New York. We find out how they manged that heist. And we look at "Emancipendence" celebrations in Jamaica as it come to a climax. The day commemorates the abolition of slavery in not just Jamaica but the British Empire. We hear what this day has meant for the economic development of Jamaica.

Wat zijn de beste draadloze bluetooth-oordopjes met actieve noise cancelling? Lange tijd ging die kroon naar Sony, maar in de afgelopen jaren hebben ook Apple (met de AirPods Pro 2) en Bose zich nadrukkelijk in die strijd gemengd. Dus is het interessant om te kijken hoe de nieuwste oordopjes van Sony, met de ronkende naam WF-1000XM5, zich verhouden. We testen de Sony WF-1000XM5 in de Schaal van Hebben, waar we onder meer paten over hoe deze oordopjes 25 procent kleiner en 20 procent lichter dan de vorige, de werking van de actieve noise cancelling (met hulp van AI, aldus Sony) en de algemene geluidskwaliteit, vooral als je gebruikmaakt van 360 Reality Audio in combinatie met Sony's LDAC, het nieuwe bluetooth protocol om in drie keer hogere kwaliteit geluid naar de dopjes in je oren te sturen. Verder in deze Tech Update: Er is iets merkwaardigs aan de hand met de domein-naam AI.com, dat eerder in handen leek te zijn van ChatGPT-maker OpenAI maar nu verwijst naar Elon Musks nieuwe AI-bedrijf xAI. Apple en Amazon hebben kwartaalcijfers gedeeld en daarbij kwam de inzet op AI ook nadrukkelijk ter sprake. Google heeft nu daadwerkelijk een nieuwe manier uitgerold om foto's en informatie van jou niet meer vindbaar te maken, in elk geval in het Engels voor de VS. Bitcoin-witwassers Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan en Ilya Lichtenstein hebben schuld bekend voor een miljarden-witwaszaak en kunnen respectievelijk tien en twintig jaar celstraf verwachten.

Estimated at over 4.5 billion dollars and breaking a government record, the largest heist in cryptocurrency history has been linked by authorities to the most unlikely of suspects. Heather Morgan transforms herself into a business owner, journalist and fledgling rap artist known as Razzlekhan. She and her husband, a cagey tech entrepreneur named Ilya Lichtenstein, stand accused of laundering stolen bitcoin. And within hours of their arrest, their outlandish rap videos and social media posts become catnip for the public and late-night comedians. Could this goofy couple really be the masterminds behind laundering a king's ransom in stolen crypto? (Original airdate 10/18/22)

Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan. Charged for trying to launder $4.5 billion in Bitcoins stolen from Bitfinex in 2016. Both facing 25 years in prison. But no one has been charged with the theft. Who did it? Maybe Ilya's father might have an idea. After all, he was a confirmed cybercriminal who breached not only USSS computers, but also servers at the First National Bank and Trust of Indiana in the mid-2000s. Only no one knew until episode 45 of The Brett Johnson Show. Well, almost no one.... Former US Most Wanted Cybercriminal turned Good Guy and Chief Criminal Officer of Arkose Labs, Brett Johnson, continues looking at the Ilya Lichtenstein story. Was Ilya capable of the theft? Or was he an idiot? Who gave Ilya Lichtenstein 119,000 stolen bitcoins? Why did Ilya stop laundering?

In February of this year, the DOJ made the largest financial seizure in the department's history - $3.6 billion worth of cryptocurrency that had been stolen from the Bitfinex crypto exchange nearly 6 years earlier. They traced the laundered money through a complex web of currency swaps, darknet markets, and fiat bank accounts, all of which led them to arrest NYC-based couple Heather Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein. While the outcome of this case is touted as a win for law enforcement over cybercriminals, it also reveals a lot about the state of cryptocurrency in the United States - fractured regulatory schemes, technical complexities, even the idiosyncratic culture that surrounds it. This week, The Buzz is joined by Josephine Wolff, Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, to discuss what the arrests of Morgan and Lichtenstein show about crypto's place in financial crime and how law enforcement and regulators can respond.

Siga o Bitcast nas redes sociais, acesse bitcast.site/bio Neste episódio do Bitcast, regressamos à um dos maiores ataques hackers ocorridos na comunidade: o roubo de 119.754 Bitcoins da Bitfinex em 2 de agosto de 2016. Desde o ataque, os endereços que ficaram com o produto do ataque foram (e são!) constantemente monitorados pela comunidade e players do mercado cripto. Acontece que, no último dia 8 de fevereiro, o Departamento de Justiça dos EUA (DoJ) anunciou que recuperou 80% dos ativos roubados (cerca de 94 mil BTC). Para a surpresa da comunidade cripto, o DoJ acusou o casal Ilya Lichtenstein e Heather Morga de executar o roubo em 2016. Além de armazenarem as chaves privadas de errônea, o excêntrico casal também vivia uma vida com bastante ostentação na internet.

Pat tells Kath about the NYC couple who somehow found time to steal billions of dollars of bitcoin while one of them pursued a career as a white rapper.

Crucial Market Update In this week's episode, we bring you an important market update as Russia's war fears cause more uncertainty in both the crypto market and other financial markets. Both Bitcoin and the SMP 500 are down this week which could take a while to recover whilst the events in Russia and Ukraine unfold. One positive is that all the indicators suggest Bitcoin is oversold and due a large bounce in the future, although it's impossible to ignore the macro factors that are causing traders to panic sell.    The Bizzare Bitfinex Hack We also discuss this week's major news story where the culprits of the famous 2016 Bitfinex hack have finally been caught. A seemingly normal couple, who now have $4.5 billion worth of Bitcoin from the hack have been arrested after police found the private keys to the lost Bitcoin. The couple included Heather Morgan, a consultant and TikTok rapper and Ilya Lichtenstein who seemed to be living normal lives although it's safe to say the arrest proved to ve very strange after police found a hallowed out book with a USB stick labelled ‘private keys' in their house… We talk more about this during the episode and why it is an important reminder to manage your own security.

Laura Sogar and Mae Planert break down the story of Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan who are accused of stealing 220k bitcoins in the 2016 hack of Bitfinex. Unlike other billionaire robbers - these two did NOT lay low and instead ran active social media accounts and nurtured a rap career (?!) as "the Crocodile of Wall Street" all while trying to launder bitcoin.

The Cyberlaw Podcast has decided to take a leaf from the (alleged) Bitcoin Bandits' embrace of cringe rap. No more apologies. We're proud to have been cringe-casting for the last six years. Scott Shapiro, however, shows that there's a lot more meat to the bitcoin story than embarrassing social media posts. In fact, the government's filing after the arrest of Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan paints a forbidding picture of how hard it is to actually cash $4.5 billion in bitcoin. That's what the government wants us to think, but it's persuasive nonetheless, and both Scott and David Kris recommend it as a read. Like the Rolling Stones performing their greatest hits from 1965 on tour this year, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon is replaying his favorite schtick from 2013 or so—complaining that the government has an intelligence program that collects some U.S. person data under a legal theory that would surprise most Americans. Based on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board staff recommendations, Dave Aitel and David Kris conclude that this doesn't sound like much of a scandal, but it may lead to new popup boxes on intel analysts' desktops as they search the resulting databases. In an entirely predictable but still discouraging development, Dave Aitel points to persuasive reports from two forensics firms that an Indian government body has compromised the computers of a group of Indian activists and then used its access not just to spy on the activists but to load fake and incriminating documents onto their computers.  In the EU, meanwhile, crisis is drawing nearer over the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the European Court of Justice decision in the Schrems cases. David Kris covers one surprising trend. The court may have been aiming at the United States, but its ruling is starting to hit European companies who are discovering that they may have to choose between Silicon Valley services and serious liability. That's the message in the latest French ruling that websites using Google Analytics are in breach of GDPR. Next to face the choice may be European publishers who depend on data-dependent advertising whose legality the Belgian data protection authority has gravely undercut. Scott and I dig into the IRS's travails in trying to implement facial recognition for taxpayer access to records. I reprise my defense of face recognition in Lawfare. Nobody is going to come out of this looking good, Scott and I agree, but I predict that abandoning facial recognition technology is going to mean more fraud as well as more costly and lousier service for taxpayers. I point to the only place Silicon Valley seems to be innovating—new ways to show conservatives that their views are not welcome. Airbnb has embraced the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), whose business model is labeling mainstream conservative groups as “hate” mongers. It told Michelle Malkin that her speech at a SPLC “hate” conference meant that she was forever barred from using Airbnb—and so was her husband. By my count that's guilt by association three times removed. Equally remarkable, Facebook is now telling Bjorn Lonborg that he cannot repeat true facts if he's using them to support the Wrong Narrative.  We're not in content moderation land any more if truth is not a defense, and tech firms that supply real things for real life can deny them to people whose views they don't like. Scott and I unpack the EARN IT Act  (Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act), again reported out of committee with a chorus of boos from privacy NGOs. We also note that supporters of getting tough on the platforms over child sex abuse material aren't waiting for EARN IT. A sex trafficking lawsuit against Pornhub has survived a Section 230 challenge.  Download the 394th Episode (mp3)  You can subscribe to The Cyberlaw Podcast using iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pocket Casts, or our RSS feed.

Our regular special guest, Katie Benner, recently sunk her teeth into the intersection of an old passion and a new one: technology industry ignominy and, her current beat at the New York Times, the U.S. Justice Department. Benner talks me through the arrest of Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. The duo were accused by the Justice Department of laundering money from the 2016 Bitfinex robbery. The arrest shows the federal government’s increasing sophistication when it comes to crypto currencies. But there are plenty of open questions about whether Lichtenstein and Morgan had the knowhow to pull off this historic heist. Morgan was a Forbes contributor who once wrote a column about protecting businesses from cybercriminals. She raps under the moniker Razzlekahn.Benner and I also talk about the apparent Chinese hack of the Wall Street Journal, Katie Notopoulos reporting on the identities of the creators of Bored Ape Yacht Club, and the latest technology meme — Wordcels and shape rotators.

VLOG: After #Bitfinex hack case 3 hour hearing, Ilya Lichtenstein Oredered Detained But Heather Morgan aka #Razzlekhan Freed on $3 Million Bond; Lichtenstein will remain in DC jail and Inner City Press will remain on the case(s)

Today Bennett and Cas will be talking about how $3.5 billion dollars (of $4.5 billion) worth of Bitcoin stolen 6 years ago was found and seized by the US Department of Justice. We discuss Ilya Lichtenstein, Heather Reyhan Morgan, what this means for all the Bitfinex tokens, and if it's possible the funds won't be returned to Bitfinex at all. This episode was record on February 12th, 2022.

It's not everyday that an eccentric NYC couple in their 30s get caught stealing billions of dollars. Jack Morse, senior tech reporter at Mashable, joins Matt Binder on the latest episode of Scam Economy to discuss the money-laundering couple who are accused by the DOJ of stealing $3.6 billion in Bitcoin from the Bitfinex exchange in 2016. The news about Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan came out this week and every detail -- from their tech startup backgrounds to her TikTok rapper career -- is more amazing than the next.

On Tuesday, the US government seized $3.6 billion in bitcoin from the 2016 Bitfinex hack and arrested two individuals, Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan, on charges of money laundering. Tom Robinson, cofounder and chief scientist at the blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, breaks down how law enforcement was able to seize the BTC, what techniques the alleged money launderers used to avoid capture, and who could have pulled off the initial hack. Show highlights: background on the 2016 Bitfinex hack who was arrested this week and why  how the US government gained access to the private keys in Lichtenstein's and Morgan's control why AlphaBay, a now-defunct darknet website, was crucial to law enforcement's effort to track down the stolen Bitfinex funds what money laundering techniques were used to cash out the stolen Bitfinex funds before this week's arrests whether, as blockchain analytics technology advances, it will always catch up to be able to trace the movements of crypto as its laundered  why using Monero, a privacy coin, to cash out stolen funds is a red flag why Tom does not think the two individuals arrested this week for money laundering the stolen Bitfinex funds were the original hackers Become a Premium Bulletin Subscriber!

In 2016, someone hacked the crypto exchange Bitfinex and made off with 120,000 BTC. At the time, the bitcoins were worth $65 million. Now they're worth around $5 billion.On February 7, authorities in the U.S. arrested Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife, Heather Morgan. The charge? Allegedly the couple laundered around $1 billion in stolen Bitcoin. As news of the charges spread, journalists began to dig into the couple and discovered that Morgan was extremely online. A wannabe rapper, Morgan has posted dozens of YouTube videos, TikToks, and contributed to Forbes. Here to talk about the hack, the charges, and Morgan's outsized personality we've got Motherboard senior staff writer Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai and Motherboard Senior Editor Jordan Perason.Morgan's output is embarrassing, but it's also a distraction from the very real crimes her and her husband have been charged with. Pearson and Franceschi-Bicchierai unpack the central mysteries that still linger on the case. The feds have seized the Bitcoin but haven't charged the couple in the hack and there's still so many questions about what happened in 2016.We're recording CYBER live on Twitch.

De Amerikaanse autoriteiten arresteerden dinsdag een stel uit New York dat ervan wordt verdacht een deel van 119.754 gestolen bitcoin (een slordige 4,5 miljard euro) te hebben witgewassen. De munten zijn afkomstig uit de veelbesproken Bitfinex-hack, in 2016. Opvallend genoeg worden Ilya Lichtenstein en Heather Morgan niet verdacht van diefstal, maar wel van het witwassen van de munten.

De Amerikaanse autoriteiten arresteerden dinsdag een stel uit New York dat ervan wordt verdacht een deel van 119.754 gestolen bitcoin (een slordige 4,5 miljard euro) te hebben witgewassen. De munten zijn afkomstig uit de veelbesproken Bitfinex-hack, in 2016. Opvallend genoeg worden Ilya Lichtenstein en Heather Morgan niet verdacht van diefstal, maar wel van het witwassen van de munten. En voor Wikileaks-oprichter Julian Assange is een groot bedrag in Ethereum opgehaald, om hem te steunen in zijn komende rechtszaken.  Deze week in de Cryptocast In de Cryptocast van deze week een gesprek met Teunis Brosens, hoofdeconoom digital finance en regulation bij ING.

Opinions divided as KPMG Canada's treasury adds BTC & ETHThe race to integrate cryptocurrencies into the global banking network is real. The digital asset marketplace recently reclaimed or rather surpassed the $2 trillion mark. The sheer valuation was one of the reasons for the unprecedented traction. A report published by KPMG, one of the ‘Big Four' accounting organizations had published a report to highlight the same.According to the company's biannual Pulse of Fintech report, investment in crypto and blockchain surged to $30 billion in 2021. In 2018 the figure stood at $8.2 billion, with 2019 recording a figure of $5.6 billion and $5.5 billion in 2020.https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjbwj5/what-are-nft-explainer-meaning-cryptoNFTs, Explained for People Who Still Don't Get ItEven if you've been living under a rock since the pandemic started, you've probably still heard some chatter about non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It's hard to ignore the hype, when someone can make a million bucks taking unassuming selfies.It's also nearly impossible to ignore the skepticism and heated criticisms surrounding the budding product, such as NFT plagiarism (also known as copyminting), NFT scams, and the environmental cost of blockchain operation.https://www.pcmag.com/news/feds-seize-36-billion-in-bitcoin-tied-to-bitfinex-hack-from-2016?taid=6202b6a4ac837c00013657c2&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Manual&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebookFeds Seize $3.6 Billion in Bitcoin Tied to 2016 Bitfinex HackUS federal investigators seized $3.6 billion in bitcoin originally stolen in the 2016 hack of Bitfinex, a major cryptocurrency exchange.The Justice Department arrested two New York-based suspects—34-year-old Russian-US national Ilya Lichtenstein and his 31-year-old wife Heather Morgan—for allegedly trying to launder the stolen funds, which totaled 119,754 bitcoins.

#shib #shiba #shibcoin #shibarmy #bitcoin #btc #ethereum #crypto #solana #cardano #cryptonews #crypto #xrp #ripple #matic #polygon #metaverse #nfts Eran una pareja de treintañeros de Nueva York como otra cualquiera. Él, Ilya Lichtenstein, emprendedor con varias startups a la espalda. Ella, Heather Morgan, rapera a tiempo parcial, escritora e inversora en empresas de seguridad y finanzas. Pero detrás de esa fachada se escondían los responsables del blanqueo de dinero procedente del mayor robo de criptomonedas de la historia. Según el Departamento de Justicia de EEUU, Lichtenstein y Morgan estaban al frente de la operación de lavado de los más más de 119.000 bitcoins que fueron robados de la plataforma Bitfinex en 2016. En el momento del robo esa cantidad de bitcoin equivalía a unos 75 millones de dólares pero con la apreciación de la criptomoneda de los últimos años la cantidad roza ahora los 4.500 millones de dólares. De esa cifra, Lichtenstein y Morgan habrían conseguido blanquear a lo largo de los años casi 900 millones de dólares, unos 25.000 bitcoins, que habrían depositado en varias cuentas a su nombre o con identidades falsas creadas para confundir a las autoridades. Los 94.000 bitcoins restantes, que equivalen a 3.600 millones de dólares, han sido recuperados y suponen la mayor intervención de fondos jamás realizada por parte del Departamento de Justicia. "Las criptomonedas no son un refugio seguro para los delincuentes", ha dicho la Fiscal General Adjunta Lisa O. Mónaco en un comunicado en el que explica que Lichtenstein y Morgan trataron de lavar los bitcoin robados "a través de un laberinto de transacciones entre diferentes plataformas y criptomonedas". Las autoridades no los acusan directamente del robo de Bitfinex, que puede haber sido obra de un tercero o de un grupo más numeroso de hackers, pero sí del banqueo de los bitcoin sustraídos y de defraudar al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, delitos que pueden suponer hasta 25 años de prisión. Los agentes del Departamento de Justicia han logrado rastrear las más de 2.000 transacciones realizadas desde Bitfinex durante el robo a una cartera digital controlada por Lichtenstein, donde aún estaban guardados la mayoría de los bitcoin procedentes de la operación.

Two arrested in connection to 2016 crypto heist worth $4.5 billion today The US Department of Justice has arrested two people in connection to a crypto heist in 2016.
