Lawyers for Bitcoin launderer suspect in talks for resolution without trial
Money laundering using cryptocurrencies has been a major concern for a number of authorities, and with the 2021 boom in the adoption of digital assets and blockchain tech, the crimes associated with cryptocurrencies have also risen. In a recent turn of events, a couple was accused of money laundering using Bitcoin and were arrested on Feb 8. The lawyers of the wife seek the resolution of the case without it going to trial.
Resolution without a trail?
As per a recent report from CNBC, the "resolution" of the case is being discussed between a federal prosecutor and the lawyers of the woman. The two are working out ways to bring the case to a conclusion with the chances of a possible trial. Moreover, Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan, wife of Ilya "Dutch" Lichtenstein, could be offered a plea deal in the case wherein the Justice Department has already seized $3.6 billion in bitcoin.Formerly a rapper, Morgan, 31, was released from custody last Friday after the successful carriage of a $3 million bail bond. She appeared in court via a phone from her home in New York City. This is because she earlier told Judge Robin Meriweather that she had Covid-19.
Couple behind the 2016 Bitfinex hack
The couple has been charged with using Bitcoin to launder around $3.6 billion that has already been seized by authorities. Furthermore, the couple is accused of conspiring to launder as many as 119,754 bitcoins that were stolen after a hacker had implemented 2,000 transactions that were unauthorized in nature.The couple was declared as a flight risk, but as per another report from CNBC, a lawyer for the New York couple said that they won't be a flight risk because "they want to stay near the frozen embryos of the wife." The lawyer said that Morgan and Lichtenstein "previously froze several of her embryos at a hospital in New York in anticipation of starting a family together."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
