Did This Couple Launder Billions of Dollars in Bitcoin?

In the crypto world, lack of experience isn’t always a barrier to fortune or notoriety. Take the 2016 Bitfinex hack, which led to charges against a rapper named Razzlekhan and her startup-guy husband.
One of the most enduring mysteries in the world of cryptocurrencies was resolved Thursday when Ilya Lichtenstein acknowledged that he was the hacker who executed the 2016 attack on the Bitfinex exchange.
Lichtenstein, along with his social-media rapper wife, who dubbed herself the “Crocodile of Wall Street,” pleaded guilty to a money-laundering conspiracy tied to the theft of billions of dollars of Bitcoin from the exchange. Who executed the exploit has been the biggest guessing games in crypto after the identity of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Lichtenstein, 35, admitted during a hearing on Thursday before US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly that he orchestrated the hack, which took 119,756 Bitcoin from Bitfinex. He faces as long as 20 years in prison.

Somehow they wound up with access to that Bitcoin and stored it in an incredibly sloppy and amateur way. It's obvious they didn't hack it. But how did they end up with it? Not a single story I've watched or read even dares peek into how they got it, and that my friends is a much bigger and more interesting tale.

    They weren't charged with the hack. The media had to be careful about what they said given that. But Dutch has since given a fairly in depth explanation and the DOJ have said they don't think anyone else is involved. It's a combination of Dutch being a lot more skilled of a hacker than he may seem, and Bitfinex having awful security. He got in and basically just sat on it for weeks, watching how it worked, and doing nothing and then struck all at once. All the technical stuff - the way they spiderwebbed it through various wallets, the way they laundered it with alphabay and other darknet markets, etc was all Dutch. It seems Heather was mostly involved in charming people at crypto exchanges to keep accounts they wanted to freeze or close as open for long as possible. But yeah it seems like it was all them.
