Heather'Razzlekhan 'Morgan, a money launderer in the Bitfinex hack, was jailed for 18 months and her husband, Ilya "Dutch" Lichstan, was sentenced to five years last week. The hack caused the Bitfinex exchange to lose nearly 120,000 bitcoins, worth about $9 billion at today's prices. "I am very sorry and deeply regret the choices I made," Morgan said at Monday's sentencing hearing. "I have spent my time and energy on bad things rather than good things and I am ashamed of that."
The couple were arrested in February 2022, and Lichstan eventually pleaded guilty to masterminding the theft. Morgan also pleaded guilty to a money laundering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
