Netflix is releasing a documentary next month about Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein and Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan called Biggest Heist Ever — and the company’s timing couldn’t be better, as Lichtenstein and Morgan, a married couple, were both recently sentenced to prison for laundering stolen Bitcoin that would now be worth more than $11 billion.
Based on a trailer for the documentary, Biggest Heist Ever seems like it could be fascinating and wildly entertaining. “These were some of the more unique people we encountered,” says one person featured in the trailer. “They were the first aspiring rappers that I arrested, that’s for sure.” (That last quote is in reference to Morgan’s rap career under her Razzlekhan persona. The songs are bad.)
Lichtenstein and Morgan were arrested in February 2022 because of their role in the massive 2016 hack of the Bitfinex crypto exchange, which they pled guilty to. Lichtenstein hacked into Bitfinex’s network, stole 120,000 Bitcoin, worked to cover his tracks, and worked with Morgan to launder the stolen cryptocurrency, according to the Department of Justice. Lichtenstein received a five-year prison sentence, while Morgan got an 18-month sentence.
