A married couple has been arrested and charged with laundering billions in Bitcoin stolen during the 2016 Bitfinex hack, as the Justice Department announced its largest financial seizure ever.
Ilya 'Dutch' Lichtenstein, and his wife, Heather Rhiannon Morgan aka Razzlekhan or The Crocodile of Wall Street, were arrested on Tuesday in Manhattan on federal charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Federal law enforcement officials said they recovered roughly $3.6 billon in cryptocurrency linked to the hack of Bitfinex, a virtual currency exchange whose systems were breached nearly six years ago.
Dutchy & The Croc live on Wall Street in lower Manhattan. He is a citizen of both Russia and the United States and the co-founder of an online marketing firm.
Morgan, a rapper and former Forbes contributor, describes herself as 'an expert in persuasion, social engineering, and game theory' and in one of her songs, declared herself the 'Crocodile of Wall Street.'

These are all lies. Her bitcoins came from her records sales.
-
I still come back and watch this episode every month. Boyle’s signature dry humour at its best.
-
Her lyrics speak from her soul. "come real far but don't know where I'm headed" While she sits on 4B of stolen coins she doesn't know how to launder.
-
Finally. I was starting to lose faith in Patrick's ability to follow the Forbes rap scene. This video has restored my faith.
-
Is cringe rap a genre? If so can we make it not a genre?!
-
Finally, a channel that combines Rap, cryptocurrency, and sound financial advice. She actually should have been arrested for her lack of talent.
-
“If the source of your funds is theft, they frown upon this” I don’t know why this made me laugh so hard hahaha
-
How this woman hasn't gone straight to the top of the charts is beyond me.
-
Omg, his sarcasm is phenomenal. He is funnier than any late night show hosts. His facial expressions or lack of is pure gold.
-
As every Forbes rapper knows, “code is law”, so it wasn’t really a hack. The Crock is just pumping her street cred by doing time, so she could branch out to “financial gangsta rap” scene.
-
Imagine being in this guy’s class and having to contain your mirth at his humor and respect for his academic prowess simultaneously.
-
People who say you’re boring don’t get you- You’re brilliant and hilarious. Love this channel.
-
Doesn't jail time earn hip hop artists a street credit score or something like that? 🤔
-
Man, you are one hell of a storyteller. Keep on rocking my friend.
-
I’m laughing my ass off and Patrick doesn’t even change his expression😄
-
You're a legend, never stop making videos. Easily one of the best channels on youtube, the dry sarcastic delivery never fails.
-
This is EXACTLY how one should not launder money. Hilarious. Thanks Patrick.
-
"this is not considered good money laundring practice" LMAO, well (w)rapped Patrick!
-
Not only are you a brilliant financial analyst, but also a top tier comedian. Love it Patrick.
