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.

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 […]
