‘Razzlekhan’ released on bond, husband detained ahead of cryptocurrency laundering trial

A U.S. judge Monday determined that Ilya Dutch Lichtenstein, one-half of the couple accused of a massive cryptocurrency laundering scheme, will await trial in prison. His wife and alleged co-conspirator, Heather Morgan, was set free on a $3 million bond package, with the conditions of strict electronic monitoring and limits on her virtual currency accounts. Federal law enforcement arrested the pair earlier this month for allegedly conspiring to launder $4.5 billion worth of cryptocurrency stolen in a 2016 hack of virtual cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex.  Lichtenstein and Morgan employed sophisticated money-laundering techniques that included the use of a combination of fictitious identities, automatic transactions, and dispersing funds across virtual currency accounts.

A British court ruled Monday that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can ask the country’s Supreme Court to block his extradition to the United States, where he’s accused of violating the Espionage Act and collaborating in criminal hacking activity. The High Court said there is a single “point of law” allowing Assange’s case to proceed. The U.K.’s Supreme Court has not decided whether it will take the case, and there is no guarantee that it will, but Monday’s ruling essentially buys Assange more time. The point of law has to do with the timing of when U.K. judges received and considered assurances from the U.S. about how Assange would be treated once on U.S. soil, according to the BBC. U.S. officials had said Assange would not be sent to a supermax prison or be held in long solitary confinement, but the question is whether those assurances came at the right time […]
