US Department of Justice officials said in a statement that they have since seized over $3.6billion in cryptocurrency (94,000 bitcoin) linked to that hack.The department’s legal complaint alleges that Lichtenstein and Morgan “employed numerous sophisticated laundering techniques” for the bitcoin, and the couple now face charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering – which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison – and conspiracy to defraud the US, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.As The Guardian reports, Anirudh Bansal, a defence attorney for the couple, described the charges as “thin” and added: “I don’t think you’ll find that billions of dollars have been laundered.”Morgan’s past as a rapper under the moniker Razzlekhan has subsequently come to light in the days following the couple’s arrest.My fucking theme song!#endometriosis #endoawarenesshttps://t.co/mktaNJ0Oco— Heather R Morgan (rzk.eth) (@HeatherReyhan) February 6, 2022On her website, Razzlekhan is described as “like Genghis Khan, but with more pizzazz” and “the infamous Crocodile of Wall Street”.“Because Razz has synaesthesia, her art often resembles something in between an acid trip and a delightful nightmare,” a description on Razzlekhan’s website reads.
