Heather Morgan, who was charged with laundering USD 4.5bn worth of Bitcoin (BTC) stolen from the Bitfinex crypto exchange, won court approval to seek a new job while her case continues.
According to several reports, a US judge has consented to Morgan’s request to modify the conditions of her pre-trial release so that she may commit to legitimate employment and receive an income of greater than 10,000 USD per month.
Morgan, who also calls herself the ‘Crocodile of Wall Street’ and goes by the rapper name Razzlekhan, was accused of plotting with her husband Ilya Lichtenstein to launder USD 4.5bn worth of Bitcoin stolen from the shady Bitfinex hack.
The self-proclaimed “serial entrepreneur” duo, arrested in early February, were originally granted bail by a New York judge, a decision that was later revoked by a Washington judge. Regardless, in mid-February, a judge in Washington released Morgan from custody on bail while denying bail to her husband.
At the time, the judge reportedly stated the motivation for both to escape had increased exponentially, and the evidence strongly suggests that Mr. Lichtenstein has more facility and skill than Morgan, who allegedly had no access to the stolen cryptocurrency as they were managed by her husband.
