In 2016, Heather Morgan, a.k.a ‘Razzlekhan’ hacked Bitfinex and stole over 120,000 bitcoin. Morgan and her husband Ilya Lichtenstein subsequently pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracies related to the theft, and to conspiring to defraud the United States.

Despite these two federal crimes and a loss that exceeded $4 billion by 2022, a judge has allowed Razzlekhan to remain out of prison. In fact, she attended this year’s Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.

Some attendees spotted her and took selfies, she passed out stickers with her character logo, the Crocodile of Wall Street, and told attendees she was searching for work as a crypto consultant.

Jameson Lopp called her “a known social engineer who is likely to be working for the State” and pinned a warning to future crypto event organizers against granting her entrance.

Razzlekhan seeking new career opportunities

This wasn’t her first crypto conference appearance since admitting to two federal crimes that might have (but didn’t) earned her a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. Sources who spoke to Protos who asked not to be identified have seen her attending various crypto events in New York City.

In 2022, a judge released Razzlekhan from custody to house arrest on a $3 million bond. She posted her availability for work, claiming on August 23, 2022, that she was “not involved in any crypto project.”

Suspicions that she is a State asset stem from Lichtenstein’s admission to US authorities that he was the mastermind behind the Bitfinex hack. According to his admission, he informed his wife only after the initial hack that their theft was successful to the tune of over 120,000 bitcoin.

In any case, Razzlekhan is apparently free to attend crypto conferences, including this year’s largest event in Nashville. She’s also seemingly sticking with her infamous moniker, despite its ties to crime and an unsuccessful artistry career.

Heather Morgan, AKA Razzlekhan, AKA The Crocodile of Wall Street has reportedly found a new job despite still being under house arrest for her alleged role in 2016’s $4.5 billion Bitfinex hack.

As reported by the New York Post, the world’s foremost crypto rapper will be working three days a week as a ‘growth marketing and business development specialist’ for an unnamed tech company in New York City. A judge has agreed to modify the terms of her house arrest to allow her to base herself at the company’s office.

The judge has also agreed to keep the name of the Razzle’s new employer under wraps to protect her safety after she received “disparaging comments and harassment” on social media.

It’s unknown whether or not Morgan’s series of borderline unhinged TikToks helped her to seal the deal.

Razzlekhan may have to take a lengthy vacation

Razzle, will be hoping that her new employer is generous with its vacation days – she and her husband Ilya ‘Dutch’ Lichtenstein are facing up to 25 years in prison on conspiracy and money laundering charges.

The pair are accused of trying to launder nearly 120,000 stolen bitcoin worth $3.6 billion, the proceeds from which were reportedly spent on Walmart gift cards, NFTs, and gold coins. When authorities swooped, the seizure was described as the biggest ever.

Authorities initially opposed Razzle’s $3 million bail bond on the grounds that she and her husband may attempt to flee to Russia or Ukraine, however, Lichtenstein has been in Federal custody since the couple’s arrest in February last year.

Late last week, a Federal court in Washington granted permission for infamous alleged crypto criminal and self-proclaimed “bad bitch” Heather Morgan – aka Razzlekhan – to find herself a job.

Morgan was prohibited from “legitimate employment” after she and her husband, Illya Lichtenstein, were charged in February with conspiring to launder $4.5 billion worth of bitcoin stolen from the Bitfinex currency exchange in 2016.

However, after Morgan asked a judge to change the terms of her pretrial release, she is now free to seek a new role and “receive income of greater than $10,000 per month.”

And luckily, she’s a dab hand at life advice, regularly handing out pearls of wisdom via her TikTok account that might just prove the difference when it comes to persuading would-be employers.

Your best self is always your real self. Razzle Dazzle!

Employers don’t want fakers in their business. And as Razzle points out here, your best self is always your real self, and being yourself is what’s really cool. And what’s cooler than owning a small plastic crocodile?

Delegate, automate, get more ma$$age$

When it comes to being part of – or indeed running – a successful business, getting stuff done is priority number one. Here, Razzle gives us the inside track on her three secrets that any CEO would do well to heed.

.

There’s no substitute for experience

One of the first things an employer will look for is real-world experience. And who could turn down “da motha fookin crocodile of Wall Street.”

Focus on the stuff that matters, not your hair

“Opportunity cost of time!” screams Razzle in this clip. And after a rambling story about her hair, we’re told not to obsess over anything that isn’t making money or that puts you in a better place.

F**k perfection

Perfection is your enemy. A mirage. Relative. According to Razzle, “it’s important to think about quality and have attention to detail, but you can’t even be perfect so don’t even say being perfect.”

Got a regular keyboard? Your business is doomed

Hey, CEOs, you wanna stay productive? Then forget your processes, hiring a great team, motivation, all that. All you need is a foot massager, a split keyboard, and a huge monitor. Oh, and the rubber crocodile is back.

Whether or not Razzlekhan’s ‘Razzleisms’ and lifehacks are enough to overturn her reputation as potentially one of the world’s most infamous crypto criminals remains to be seen. And, of course, depending on how things go in court, she may be looking at a few years AFK at least.

But until then, you’ve got to admire her hustle.
