<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">According to news sources, Razzlekhan gained notoriety in the crypto space due to her involvement in the 2016 Bitfinex hack, which resulted in the loss of approximately 120,000 BTC, one of the largest crypto thefts in history. In early 2022, Morgan and her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein, were reportedly arrested and charged with conspiracy to launder the stolen crypto. This monumental hack not only shook the foundations of the cryptocurrency world but also highlighted significant vulnerabilities within digital asset exchanges. The couple’s arrest marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle against crypto-related crimes, drawing widespread media attention and scrutiny. </span></p>

Despite the charges, the case against Morgan and Lichtenstein continues to be a topic of interest, as it signifies the challenges faced by law enforcement in the digital age.&nbsp;</span></p>
