Crocodile of Wall Street gets a new job and is released from house arrest to work in the office

The self-proclaimed “Wall Street Crocodile” has landed a new job while awaiting trial for her and her husband’s conspiracy to launder $4.5 billion worth of stolen Bitcoin.

Heather Morgan, 32, revealed her new appearance Tuesday in a court filing in which she asked permission to leave house arrest three days a week to go to work, a request the judge granted.

Morgan, who raps under the nickname “Razzlekahn,” has been under house arrest in Manhattan since her arrest last February on $3 million bail.

Her husband and co-defendant Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein, 34, remains behind bars because prosecutors fear he could flee to Russia, where he is also a citizen.

In a court filing, Morgan’s attorney said she was “trying to be productive” while awaiting trial.

The application revealed that she had recently been offered a job at a tech company as a “growth marketing and business development specialist.”

The filing does not reveal the name of Morgan’s new employer and claims that she “was subjected to derogatory comments and social media harassment due to the intense media coverage of this case.”

“We respectfully state that disclosing the identity and location of Ms. Morgan’s employer would jeopardize Ms. Morgan’s safety,” her attorney, Eugene Gorokhov, wrote in the filing.

Gorokhov did not immediately respond to a request for comment from on Wednesday morning.

The motion calls for permission for Morgan to leave house arrest to work at her new employer’s office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am to 8:30pm.

US Judge Zia M. Faruqui granted the request in an order Tuesday.

In November, the judge also granted Morgan permission to use a computer and smartphone with surveillance software installed on both to work from home.

However, she remains barred from conducting cryptocurrency transactions while in domestic custody.

Lichtenstein and Morgan were arrested last February and charged in a criminal complaint with conspiring to launder 119,754 Bitcoin that was stolen after a hacker broke into Bitfinex in 2016 and initiated more than 2,000 unauthorized transactions.

Prosecutors said the transactions were then valued at $71 million in bitcoin, but as the currency’s value rose, the value at the time of their arrest reached $4.5 billion.

At current prices, the allegedly stolen bitcoin would be worth about $2.5 billion after the sharp drop in cryptocurrency values ​​over the past year.

Morgan and Lichtenstein have been charged by federal prosecutors with laundering the bitcoin stolen from Bitfinex, but they are not charged with actually stealing the crypto.

Authorities were able to recover $3.6 billion in stolen funds after seizing the couple’s private keys to digital wallets following their arrest.

Lichtenstein and Morgan face up to 25 years in prison if found guilty.

At the time of their arrest, the couple lived on Wall Street in Lower Manhattan. He is both Russian and American citizen and co-founder of an online marketing company.

Morgan, a rapper and former Forbes contributor, describes herself as an “expert on persuasion, social engineering and game theory” and proclaimed herself “the crocodile of Wall Street” in one of her songs.

“I’m many things, a rapper, an economist, a journalist, a writer, a CEO and a filthy, filthy, filthy h*,” she raps on her 2019 single “Versace Bedouin.”
