Heather Morgan wanted to be famous.

Years before the world knew her as Razzlekhan—the self-proclaimed "Crocodile of Wall Street" and creator of some truly unforgettable rap videos—she built a career as an entrepreneur, writer, and startup founder. Alongside her husband, Ilya "Dutch" Lichtenstein, she cultivated a quirky online persona that seemed more cringe than criminal.

But behind the scenes, federal investigators were tracking billions of dollars in stolen cryptocurrency linked to one of the largest financial crimes in history.

In 2016, hackers stole nearly 120,000 Bitcoin from the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. For years, authorities followed the money through dark web marketplaces, shell companies, gift cards, and thousands of transactions designed to hide its origin.

What they expected to find were elite cybercriminals.

What they found instead was a rapper named Razzlekhan and her tech-bro husband living in a luxury apartment at 75 Wall Street.
