- On the morning of August 2, 2016 all around the globe, thousands of unsuspecting crypto investors woke up to find their digital wallets mysteriously wiped out. News broke of a shocking digital heist: nearly 120,000 bitcoins stolen from Bitfinex and the start of a manhunt for the hackers. It has all the ingredients of a wide screen thriller…only this one is true, and is unfolding to be “super, super weird,” according to one of the investors targeted in the hack.
CNBC takes you inside one of the largest crypto currency heists in history and delivers a revealing look at the investigation to recover $3.6 billion dollars in bitcoin. According to court records, the five-year long investigation ultimately led the feds to the Wall Street apartment of a young married couple where the IRS says they uncovered burner phones, multiple passports, hollowed out books and the private keys investigators used to access billions in stolen crypto connected to the hack. Heather Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein were later arrested in the alleged multi-billion dollar crypto laundering scheme.
When news of the arrests broke and the world discovered hundreds of videos the couple shared on social media, the story went viral. Music videos of Morgan rapping on TH-cam as the so-called “Crocodile of Wall Street” and videos of her husband saying he’s tried their exotic Bengal cat’s pet food had everyone asking how this couple could be accused of such an elaborate scheme.
CNBC’s in-depth report delivers a revealing look at the duo from the rise of Razzlekahn, Morgan’s rapping alter ego to the day she bizarrely stripped down to her bra in front of dozens of startup founders, to Lichtenstein’s startup companies and the couple’s stranger-than-fiction wedding day. Eamon Javers’ reporting exposes fascinating details about their unusual lives from people who knew and worked with them and reveals exactly how the feds accuse the couple of conspiring to launder billions in bitcoin.
CNBC uncovers how a five-year investigation led to the largest financial seizure in DOJ history and what happens next as hack victims, the government and Bitfinex battle over who really owns the billions in recovered bitcoin.
On August 3, 2023 Heather Morgan plead guilty to money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to defraud the United States government.
Her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein admitted to being the original hacker in the 2016 cyberattack on Bitfinex. He plead guilty to laundering the stolen bitcoin.

Sometimes I think that I am unintelligent and cringe. Watching this made my self esteem absolutely skyrocket.
😁
same
Heather Morgan is 💯 % fire-branded genius.
So, in this case, you must be what you said. Agreed 🤣
Dumbos... allowing someone to access is now a crime ??? LMAO !
This must have been a crime of opportunity. There's no way those two "masterminded" anything.
Exactly the rabbit hole goes beyond these two. This wouldn’t be possible without irs turning a blind eye
@@SJP43 vbbbbhv
Sure they did. Just listen to her rapping. Genius I tell you. Genius.
Scam
@@putler965 not genius at all, she got caught.
How Bitfinex could socialize the losses and take 30% of all its customers money to cover the cost of theft is beyond me.
I purchased Bitfinix on an exchange exchange and I lost millions in digital currency units.
@@BrianPhelpsV2 Sorry to hear that.
@@BrianPhelpsV2 i purchased the bitfinex exchange exchange on an exchange exchange exchange and i did okay.
LooooL
Government looses Our Dollars all the time. Look at the 70+Billion in Ukraine. How Hypocritical. Fk the Government
Shouldn't Bitfinex get it and put it back into the accounts they originated from, then letting those customers take it out if they choose to??? I mean.... I don't see how this is hard to figure out.
HAHAHA
Thats not going to happen. Read up how Mt Gox ended up.
Seems obvious. Which is why it won’t happen.
This story kills me no matter how many times I hear it. 🤣🤣🤣
labeled “burner phone” is what gets me all the time 😭😭
Fr
You mean to tell me they pulled this whole thing off only to get caught by buying gift cards mailed to their home address and using their real names?
it is secured until you use it. so they cant really use it. so you stole something that you cant use
@@archmad not sure i completely understand?
😂 ya, so strange they would call it conspiracy. If they had other people do it
Thats another thing
This is why monero is the only currency worth having
They didn't hack it. they use to do the dirty work to cash out the fund.
The “Hindu Temple” in Egypt is actually called “Kasr Albaron” or in English “The Baron’s Palace” and is a relic of “New Cairo” or “Masral’ja’dee’dah” at the time it was built. Used to be the residence of its owner. Now reckoned as a national treasure and is in the process of being converted into a museum. There’s a Wikipedia page on it. CNBC should have made a better job researching this tidbit before claiming it to be a Hindu Temple. This, and other similar little misinformation here and there, cast doubt on the veracity of the entire documentary.
My heart goes out to the original victims of the cyber heist.
These people are so lucky they were not found by the people they robbed.
The real robbers are bitfinex. Imagine a bank gets robbed and the next day the director says "We decided to charge all accounts with 30% to cover the hole in our vaults and to add insult to injury if the stolen money is ever recovered we retain it and are allowed to pay you back in near worthless pesos instead while we make a good profit by selling the real thing worth hundred times more in the interim."
I cant believe they actually called the phone bag "burner phone"
Seems as though it was planted. They were the fall men, and women. They got paid for a minute. They were pawns. The real criminal never gets caught. There's always a fall person to take the blame.
Nerds for you
Obviously not the brains of this scheme.
@@lonesomedove6960 Don't be so sure. Her IQ is probably up there.
I feel like they left planned evidence. Either that or one night they got high and decided that would be the best hiding spot because no one would look 🙄
1 Bitcoin will worth millions of dollars in no distance time, people who ignorantly did not adopt the system will be more poorer. The earlier the better to have and hold bitcoin because it's the future.
There is one thing I have learnt in recent months it is to remain calm, especially when it comes to investment in crypto currency. Learn not to sell in a panic when everything goes down and not to buy in euphoria when everything goes up. I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses.
Crypto currency investment is here to stay especially the asset Bitcoin if you can't see at this point its time you learnt more about it.
Accurately spoken, this is the best thing I've heard in a while. You've got my point.
You've to understand crypto trading is not magic, the best way to make lucrative trades is to work with a pro
@@kennethjohnson5177 You're right man. Thought I learnt that the hard way
IRS dude really trying to get the world to believe in how gangsta they are 😂
Yeah convince people to freely send you 20-30% of their money every year is by definition GANGSTA!!
Binfinex needs to front up and help clients.
Saying that they lived like "everyday New Yorkers" is completely out of touch lmao.
For real right? I barfed a lil.
Right paying 6500 a month in rent.
Are you suggesting there's people in New York who aren't rich? Why would non-rich people live somewhere everything costs triple? Just leave.
A plastic bag labeled “burner phone”…how suspicious can you get
CNBC did it.
Worst OPSEC I've ever seen. The dude also had a bunch of wallet keys in a Google Drive folder 😂
This is one of the reasons I'm doubting their involvement in the initial hack. There has to be a bigger mastermind behind the entire operation.
Main takeaway is that everything can be tracked.
Everything, any case of theft, fraud and so on is not a Blockchain technological error but a human error.
Your channel is one of the best for gaining knowledge about trading. Thanks for your hard work!
If you're going to be a criminal, definitely label your "burner phone".
Her rappin is horrible 🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂😂
Lookin forward to seeing what Netflix does with this story as well
The fact he was called Dutch shows he really had a plan.
For those who don’t know who Dutch Schultz was: th-cam.com/video/yg5fPZpeCDE/w-d-xo.html
🤣🤣🤣
Had! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dutch's plan is with my friend Gavin
All of it needs to go back to those victims- period-
@Richard Jackman no taxes- no banks- victims first-
First off. They were not living like everyday new yorkers. They were living like criminals. The average new yorker cannot afford $6k a month rent. Are you kidding me?
They weren’t average they are millionaires
I mean they work in huge tech companies that pay great for their positions so therefore they could afford it essentially
40:35 Bitfinex has the nerve to think they should get that money. It belongs to the people whose Bitcoins has been stolen from. This is crazy
No it doesn’t. It was stolen from bitfinex wallets, if it was in customer wallets it wouldn’t have been (able to be) stolen in this way.
No Bitfinex was a depositrory and the custumers desposted there coins in multisig wallets. The TOS stated the Bitcoin in clients wallets are owned by You.@@jaredneilsen
@@jaredneilsen it was an exchange wallet.
That's like saying my money in the bank isn't mine because it's not at home

People don’t want security in a wallet most people want privacy
You can’t tell me anyone who bought bit coins at the start were in it to get rich
I used to use Crypto but in the last few years I've been really over the hype. Most people just use it for investments. It's closer to a Ponzi scheme than currency these days.
This comment proved to be accurate.
then you are stupid because everything in the future will be on a blockchain.
@slesperado no it didn't 😂 we're on the verge of Bitcoin ETFs!!
@@sinamen516 Amazon is making a coin that will be stable, then you will see what it's supposed to look like as a 'storage' of value. Amazon cant stand their coin rising in value twice over in a year, it will not work. As all currency does not work in such circumstance. Get a grip man. Let go of the crypto MLM schemes.
@@sinamen516 casuals lol
I’m just wondering how fast Netflix is scrambling to get a deal with those two. From the makers of Inventing Anna, “The crocodile of Wall Street.”
Remember the cereal commercial where they always say "Let Mikey try. He tries anything"? Thats Netflix. They buy anything
The real hacker probably took a few thousand BTC and is doing fine, using the 65,000 BTC hack as a distraction to keep the feds scratching their heads. Eventually they leave razzlekhan and co who they were amused by at a startup conference some digital breadcrumbs that lead to an 'amazing discovery'. Russian most likely, but I'm sure Netflix will think of something.
@@jeffreyd508 💯 look up Dayveon. Netflix gave the director 250k. He threw a big party in his home town and filmed the movie for $15k. Walked away with 200k. They signed him up for 2 more movies.
Oh now it's a crocodile a bear a bull a woolf what's next? A vulture 😮
The gov is the house “the house always wins”
It's like they're roleplaying as thieves but took it too far 🤔
@The Messenger news? Have you been living under a rock?
A bag of phones labeled 'Burner Phones' 🤣 Some people have no common sense !
It would be nice if the producer reduced the volume of the background "music/tones" - makes it hard to follow the conversations, at times drowns the voices out.
I think this is one of the rare times in history that the items being stolen went up in value by such a great amount, making laundering the loot nearly impossible.
Find someone anonymously, willing to buy the cold wallet for a giant discount, like 10 cents on the dollar. Paid in Monero.
It’s going to be a movie all right, but most likely in a comedy format
Exactly. Bitcoin laundering at those levels is nearly impossible at this point. I think hackers are now hodling hacked funds in hope of a new and advanced mixing protocol in the future.
Just so I’m clear while they still are not arrested they’re able to leave the country and go to Ukraine which I don’t believe has extradition with the United States or didn’t at the time and pay their dumb enough to leave their apartment unsecured and their computers etc. unsecured in their apartment and be they don’t stay in Ukraine and have all the money said there get the money put in swiss bank accounts or somewhere else offshore accounts change your identity and split. Boy these people are stupid
Laundering $4.5 billion would probably be pretty hard to do but laundering $70 million would probably be pretty hard as well. Laundering it over a long time would be easier than short to medium term.
Master Class in outing yourself 😂
Government: thanks criminals
Them hollowing out books to try and hide stuff just shows how in over their heads they were. Not sure how they stayed under the radar for as long as they did.
2016, they didn't learn. 2022, they still haven't learned! *NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR CRYPTO*
Get yourself a harware wallet ASAP.
Wait a minute!!! Are you telling me that a unregulated digital currency is hackable??? What you gonna tell me next, that it can hack anywhere in the world through the internet?
not the currency itself but some exchanges are much shittier
What does "hacking a digital currency" mean to you? Tell me that, and I will tell you why it is, or is not hackable.
@@JanBruunAndersen anything and everything code based is hackable. Especially when it's connected to the web.
@@mistervo8185 - in short, you are unable or unwilling to explain what hacking a crypto currency means. You are just throwing around that word, "hackable", as if it means something by itself.
@@JanBruunAndersen if that doesn't bother you, live and let live.
i'm glad they got caught, not for justice but bc they act like children

I feel like they hired a freelancer to do the hack and the freelancer was so shocked they were able to take that large of an amount. The burner phones were used as communication to the hacker living in another country.
They all sat on the money for years and these two decided to finally attempt to try to find a way to reap the rewards. They did little amounts to see if anyone would come knocking on their door.
i disagree in that a freelancer savvy enough to pull this off would have found the ways to launder it.
i think that they are or at least she is a patsy scapegoat.
@@deforged so how I see it….most things are not rocket science and does not require much technical knowledge. It’s kind like stealing credit cards. Does it sound hard? Yes. But is it really that hard? Well no cause it’s quite common to find that stuff on the dark web.

There are two criminals in this story. First the hacker who stole the crypto from it's rightful owners, and then the US Government which also is stealing crypto from its rightful owners. Both are equally scum.
The recovery of stolen crypto assets may only apply to those that have made a Police report at the time of the theft and along with other parameters, Digitpol advises anyone that is a victim of a crypto currency theft, scam or fraud, to file a Police report regardless of the value or the modus operandi.

Nice job. This felt like an episode of Darknet Diaries.
I leave this to clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.
They're getting it way too easy. Why does this story sound so little on the crime-scale? Why do they get special nicknames, instead of being presented with their full names to show the world that they are huge criminals? Lol...
A lot of the losses will never be claimed because the money was dirty to start with.

Biggest crime committed here, calling that noise, “rap music”..or any genre of music for that matter.
The story of 2016, which has nothing to do with the real situation today.
It is a pity that Bitfinex then fell into the clutches of scammers, now they would only dream of such
So ok ✅ who got the rest of the money??? They can’t have $4 billion dollars and live in the apartments 😂
I'm here to learn how to trade and also to invest. After listening to a guy on a live program about the importance of investing and how he made $950k in 2 months from $142k, somehow this video has helped shed light on key points, but I'm still confused as a newbie and I'm open to meaningful ideas.

I referred a friend, he just made over $18,050 in 10days.
The only one smiling is the lawyer
People from lower income got scammed the most in crypto as they are tempted to invest all of their fortune in anything which promises to make them millionaire overnight. People who are doing well will only allocate a small portion to such risky investments.
More like uneducated people will put in everything and not what they can afford to loose. People invest or buy things people tell them to without even looking into what it is or reading a single investment book.
what if the company people themselves did it? and those two are just accomplishes.
this entire video felt like it was produced by Gary Gansler lol
Omg that rapping is... goosebump inducing
Smart heist, dumbest behavior afterwards
Very well articulated; I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 in October and I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, especially with the looming inflation and recession; my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $850k at the age of 60. Been reading in a lotta articles especially on Bloomberg about people's testimonies in these hard times and I'd love to have one too.
it's all hype! best to ignore the trend at the moment whether bullish or bearish, and stick to a proper trading plan preferably with expertise assistance.
Initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances. I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a portfolio-advisor: and that same year, I pulled a net gain of $550k...that's about 4 times more than I average on my own
@@mcginnnavraj4201 If you don't mind, how can I get in touch with your consultant? I'm almost wrecked to say the least.
My advisor is ''JOHANNA MUSSCHE'' In terms of portfolio diversity, she's a genius. You can glance her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. she has years of financial market experience.
This recommendation is coming at the right time because i am literally grasping for straws at the moment! I looked her up online and scheduled a session with her.
Something about this story doesn't add up...
How anyone took this girl seriously is beyond me.
Every financial goal requires patience, dedication and consistent spirit knowing that investment is currently the most lucrative business in the world, both NFT, real estate and Crypto shares are really positively changing people's lives.
I'm thinking of investing in the crypto market but taking my time to figure out how the whole thing works.
Investing in crypto is very volatile and risky which is why most successful investors trade with professional brokers
The real risk in the Crypto market is the risk of not investing, not the risk of short term price volatility.
I have been investing in crypto but have had a bumpy ride. How can I reach your broker? I will appreciate any tip or pointers
I once tried trading myself but made more losses than profits. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone
They stole 4.5 billion in crypto currency lmao
So, the info on why they started targeting this couple wasn'tpresented. The IRS literatelly got lucky, because of a search of their apartment. They didnt discover using any hacking or surveillance techniques.
Dividends are what got me into investing in the stock market. The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. Have over $600K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further.
As a new investor it's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all the difficult times and come ahead of it. It's unnerving to see your portfolio go from green to red but as mentioned if you have invested in quality names just have to keep adding to them and stay the course.
I see any market condition as an opportunity. So far I've made north of $260k in raw profits from just Q3 of 2022 under the guidance of my Financial-Advisor "Corinne Cecilia Heaney ". Am I selling? Absolutely not. I have purchased growth stocks too a little at a time over the past few weeks. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
@@marianparker7502 Please can you leave the info of your investment analyst here? I overheard someone talking about how a couple made $200k during this red season. I need such luck lol

Polo. the thing for me, is when there is Outside income, enough to Abel about why would i need to Live off any dividends? i would not need Both to live off of. I would need dividends if i were a Passive too old to be a working asset (human variety) /
Myop sell the Pitch "as is". // dividends are income from corporations, that possess enough Retained earnings to dividend Out.
Since a tax cut will ONLY increase the chances of a larger dividend, due to the Retained Earnings only going Up, dividends (not cap gains) are the way to go.
/ a capital gain only occurs after a sale, or it is realized for tax purposes, but the sale can cause ego trip challenges beyond any gain in the electronic wallet.
corporations CAN Never use a after taxed profit for any current or future tax deductible expense. so Every time there is a Corporate tax cut there will be a Better chance of a larger dividend, if margins stay the same.
// margins got crushed and now the shareholders' concerns are honest but unknowing, as all the inflation is due to the increase of margins without increase in cost of sales/gross wages the Gross costs are not rising as fast as the Profit Margin Calls

If I buy a car which is later revealed to be stolen I won't get to keep what I paid for. Instead they'll give it back to the owner and I will be out of pocket. Why is it okay for people to spend millions to get their hands on the crypto while the original owners get nothing back?

The penalties are far too lenient and should be tough. Hackers know what they are doing. Only extremely harsh penalties also deter.

I always invest my money through names I see being praised in totally legit sounding comments under these videos.
Can someone help explain to me why large currency exchanges and wallets for them could be registered without regulations in place that mandate each wallet to be registered with validated IDs? Like, we had to wait for them to attempt to cash out the bitcoins via a Walmart Giftcard, and somehow Walmart has stronger KYC than a currency exchange?
Second question, if a bitcoin is transferred from Wallet A to Wallet Z, even if in between them they were transferred into wallets B through Y before they reached Z, why couldn't we just freeze all wallets from B to Z and claw back or reverse all transactions made until they return to A?
Like, how does this work, does anybody know?
KYC wasn't a thing back then. It was gradually pushed on to exchanges, and today there are still exchanges that don't require any form of ID whatsoever, they usually avoid doing business with Americans to avoid getting in trouble but they are still there and US citizen with a foreign mail forwarding service and a VPN could still use them too.
Transactions on the bitcoin Network are irreversible that's what makes it interesting to own a crypto currency like bitcoin, not even the government can do anything unless they find the private key to the wallet that gives them autorisation to move the funds.
I don't know why CNBC did not update this story but it even says in the description that the husband admitted to being the hacker. Now whether he really is or he is protecting some Russian hacker, that remains to be seen but I'm sure the IRS was demanding him to show them how he did it in order to believe him.
More investigation needs to follow this story, and time is the best, to capture the villions in this case.
But some forget that this happened a long time ago, and now the exchange has significantly increased the security of its clients' assets.
I wouldn't go anywere near there even if they offered me money. Imagine waking up to an exchange that decides to protect their wealthiest clients by charging all accounts an equal percentage... This mathematically affects the little guy disproportionally hard. Why should I have to cover a millionaire traders losses??? Totally beyond me how they are still in business
If I've learned anything over the past 2 years, it's that life isn't just about money, but money is an important part of life. It impacts every aspect of our lives. When I got my first paycheck, I knew I had to invest. I didn't think a few hundred dollars a month would add up. But it is. From 2020 to date, I have made around $600,000.
No doubt. Investing still has the potential for higher returns over time, those returns are not guaranteed! I'm still scrambling for a safe place to invest my savings of around $46,000
