Razzlekhan, crypto’s most embarrassing rapper, is going to prison

A federal judge has sentenced Heather Morgan to 18 months in prison for her role in helping husband Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein launder stolen Bitcoin, CoinDesk reports. Lichtenstein has admitted to hacking the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex in 2016 and stealing 120,000 Bitcoin, worth $71 million at the time (and almost $11 billion as of this writing).

Before she was arrested, Morgan was a Forbes and Inc. blogger. When the Department of Justice announced her arrest, the internet found out she also made crypto-themed rap videos under the name “Razzlekhan.” The whole story is expected to be immortalized in a Netflix documentary series and a film called Dutch & Razzlekhan.

Morgan issued a statement on X, saying she “will soon be telling my story, sharing my thoughts, and telling you more about the creative and other endeavors I’ve been working on.”
