The Accused Crypto Couple

American Greed Podcast - A podcast by CNBC - Tuesdays

Estimated at over 4.5 billion dollars and breaking a government record, the largest heist in cryptocurrency history has been linked by authorities to the most unlikely of suspects. Heather Morgan transforms herself into a business owner, journalist and fledgling rap artist known as Razzlekhan. She and her husband, a cagey tech entrepreneur named Ilya Lichtenstein, stand accused of laundering stolen bitcoin. And within hours of their arrest, their outlandish rap videos and social media posts become catnip for the public and late-night comedians. Could this goofy couple really be the masterminds behind laundering a king’s ransom in stolen crypto? (Original airdate 10/18/22)
