The spectacular case against a hipster New York couple who were allegedly caught with $3.6 billion in stolen bitcoin has taken a more mysterious turn.
While there, the couple had collected documents and opened bank accounts with the apparent intention of relocating to the country under false identities, prosecutors said. The trip had occurred prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A federal judge ultimately agreed to hold Lichtenstein, 34, without bail and he remains in custody. Morgan, 32, has been under home confinement in New York since February when she was released on a $3 million bond. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors argued at the time that even though investigators had seized $3.6 billion in stolen bitcoin from crypto wallets the couple controlled, it was believed the couple still had access to accounts containing hundreds of millions of dollars in unaccounted money.
