Inside wild life of rapper Heather Morgan who bragged about being a ‘dirty h*’ before ‘laundering $4.5BILLION Bitcoin’
HEATHER Morgan bragged about being a multi-millionaire entrepreneur and "dirty h*" rapper - until she was arrested by US authorities on suspicion of laundering $4.5billion in Bitcoin.
The disgraced entrepreneur and her Russian husband Ilya "Dutch" Lichtenstein, 34, have been accused of a major darknet operation that saw investors swindled of billions out of dollars in crypto.
The couple, who were arrested in Manhattan on Tuesday, have been accused of transferring $4.5bn in Bitcoin into a digital wallet they controlled and face money laundering and fraud charges.
Federal law enforcement say the funds may have been linked to a 2016 hack of Bitfinex - a crypto exchange platform, though they have not directly charged Morgan and Lichtenstein with carrying out cyber attack.
'THE INFAMOUS CROCODILE OF WALL STREET'
The bizarre hipster couple loved sharing their high-roller lifestyle online.
Morgan - who goes by the stage name - calls herself "the infamous Crocodile of Wall Street" who is "more fearless and more shameless than ever before" on her website.
The 31-year-old's bio adds: "Just like her fearless entrepreneurial spirit and hacker mindset, Razz shamelessly explores new frontiers of art, pushing the limit of what's possible."
In music videos set in the Financial District, Morgan - who ran an email marketing company - dedicates her songs to “the entrepreneurs and hackers, all the misfits and smart slackers," and claims to be a serial entrepreneur and software inventor.
And in her 2019 single Versace Bedouin, she raps: "I'm many things, a rapper, an economist, a journalist, a writer, a CEO, and a dirty, dirty, dirty dirty h*".
But the pesky alleged con-artist also worked as a Forbes contributor and ironically penned a piece called "Experts Share Tips To Protect Your Business From Cybercriminals".
Morgan bragged about running a multi-million-dollar company and had "billionaire Silicon Valley contacts".
In one TikTok video, the fallen entrepreneur claims to have started her own company when she was 23 and "grew it into a multi-million-dollar business from zero outside funding and no connections. I didn't go to an Ivy League school".
Lichtenstein was ordered to home detention on Tuesday with a wearable GPS and a $5million bond while Morgan has the same sentence but with a $3million bond, .
Lichtenstein has worked as a tech entrepreneur and describes himself in online profiles as an "angel investor."
“I got engaged to my best friend and the woman of my dreams!” Lichtenstein wrote.
