Lawyers representing Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan have issued a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix in Bitfinex hack documentary. The letter alleges that Netflix’s documentary, “Biggest Heist Ever, ” invaded Morgan’s privacy. It also claims the documentary disseminated false information about Morgan. As such, the letter demands Netflix and Library Films take corrective action. Details of the Letter Additionally, Morgan’s attorneys dispute several statements in the documentary, labeling it false and defamatory. Specifically, they deny allegations that Morgan and Lichtenstein bought stolen passports, debit cards, and other identity documents from the dark web. Meanwhile, the cease and desist letter demands an immediate retraction of the disputed statements. Morgan’s team is seeking damages for the alleged harm caused by the documentary. Also, Morgan’s team asserted that the documentary’s claims were made without sufficient evidence or fact-checking. Morgan’s attorneys will take action if their demands are not met. Authorities Arrest Perpetrators of the Bitfinex Hack Unlike other Bitcoin heists, the 2016 Bitfinex hackers were caught. They stole $72 million in Bitcoin from the Hong Kong cryptocurrency exchange. The FBI arrested Heather Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein for getting involved in the scheme. Their arrest went viral due to the massive sum and unusual online presence. Inadvertently, the theft sent the crypto ecosystem into crisis, with Bitcoin’s value falling 20% within hours. Bitfinex customers lost thousands overnight. Also, the stolen Bitcoin’s value grew to $4.5 billion over five years, now worth $10.8 billion. The Justice Department accused the duo of conspiring to launder $4.5 billion in stolen bitcoin. The “Biggest Heist Ever” The documentary “The Biggest Heist Ever” explores the 2016 Bitfinex hack timeline and the authorities’ investigation. Also, the 87-minute documentary raises new questions about the hack’s implications and potential motivations. While Morgan has been sentenced to 18 months in prison , Lichtenstein bagged five years of jail time for orchestrating one of the largest Bitcoin thefts in history. Notably, the documentary suggests Ilya Lichtenstein’s father, Eugene, may have inspired his actions. Eugene Lichtenstein allegedly hacked into the First National Bank of Indiana and a Secret Service computer. This potential family connection adds a new layer to the Bitfinex hack story. Although the documentary is currently available for streaming, it has received mixed reviews. Neither Ilya Lichtenstein nor Heather Morgan who have been dubbed Bitcoin Bonnie and Clyde appeared in the documentary.
