Woman (alleged) Bitfinex hack tries to maintain digital anonymity

As you may have heard, a couple in the thirty in New York were arrested in the thirties for a alleged conspiracy for washing some Bitcoins that were stolen during the hacks of the Bitfinex exchange in 2016. "Some" means approximately $ 4.5 billion - value for current reviews, according to the Ministry of Justice.

In an explanation, the deputy attorney of General Lisa O. Monaco (!) spoke of the “unsuccessful efforts of the couple to protect the digital anonymity” and praised the “meticulous work” of the doj in the pursuit of these suspected criminals despite their efforts to evade the law (supposedly)).

So we take a look at these alleged efforts to maintain digital anonymity, right? Especially that of one half of the couple, Heather Morgan .

As we wrote last night, Morgan has a YouTube account on which she wears the nickname Razzlekhan, a surrealistic artist and rapper with a preference for poisonous friends and the Silicon Valley. Can't say that we blame her. Unfortunately, most videos were removed overnight.

But for those among them who were too late for the YouTube videos, there is a selection of clips that are still available on Soundcloud and the Rage-as-A-Service platform Twitter. (For those of them who are no longer WFH, this is probably NSFW, unless they have headphones.)

Here it shows a remarkable rhyme ability:

this "rapper" with the pseudonym Razzlekhan alias Heather Morgan was now charged in NYC to be part of a money laundering system that included Bitcoin worth billions.

I think she should have been in prison for life, whatever that is. pic.twitter.com/cwhvh4kf7y

It generally seems to be pretty much on Turkey:

If I have to get through that, you have to do it too.

There is also this website (Huts tip on the FT Alphaville reader Ricky Prickles has left the building for the spot), the Razzlekhan describes as "the big crocodile of Wall Street", which is "here to work everywhere for underdogs and outsider". This part particularly impressed us:

Just like her fearless entrepreneurial spirit and her hacker mentality, Razz shamelessly explores new borders of art and shifts the limits of the possible. It is unclear whether this leads to something wonderful or terrible; The only thing that is certain is that it does not become boring or mediocre.
