“Razzlekhan Drops Heart-Wrenching Song from Solitary Confinement: The Untold Story Behind the $10.8 Billion Bitfinex Hack”

Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan Drops Song From Solitary Confinement Ahead of Sentencing

Heather Morgan, the rapper and one half of the infamous Bitfinex hack duo, has released a poignant new track, claiming to have penned it during her time in solitary confinement while awaiting sentencing for the 2016 hack that shook the crypto world. Morgan and her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein, made off with $11.7 billion worth of Bitcoin in the audacious cyber heist. Now, as Morgan faces 18 months in prison and Lichtenstein a five-year sentence, the song serves as both a personal reflection and a testament to her ability to turn even the darkest of times into creative expression.

A Song Born in Solitary Confinement

Titled either Stay Strong or Miss Someone, the song is about the emotional toll of being separated from a loved one—specifically, her husband, whom she hasn’t been able to see outside of courtrooms for over three years. The lyrics, written in a tattered notebook, encapsulate Morgan’s feelings during her time in isolation.

“Remember time nor space can break that bond. Even in death, the soul still lives on,” she raps in a raw, heartfelt delivery. “I know it can hurt like hell. This pain got you feeling unwell. Whether they far apart, dead, or in jail. Serving a lifetime sentence or can’t get bail. Just know you’re not alone.”

It’s an introspective moment for Morgan, who has been held in solitary confinement for most of her jail time, with no clear reason given for the harsh treatment. This period also coincided with her recovery from surgery, leaving her physically vulnerable with an open wound. In her interview, she reflects on the emotional struggles she endured, even revealing that she lost hope at times—particularly during a brief but challenging battle with COVID-19.

A Personal Touch: “I Sewed It Myself”

In an unexpected moment of levity, Morgan also shared a fun fact about her outfit during the video. She proudly stated that she had sewn the top and leggings herself while in home confinement, taught by her mother to sew. “This is corny but—if you like my outfit, you’re wondering about it—I sewed it myself when I was in home confinement,” she said, grinning. It was a small yet poignant detail, showcasing her resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity.

The Price of Crypto Crime

For those unfamiliar with the details, Morgan and Lichtenstein were involved in one of the largest crypto heists in history, stealing billions of dollars’ worth of Bitcoin from the Bitfinex exchange. The couple laundered the stolen funds through a series of mixers and darknet markets, only to be caught years later. Last summer, both Morgan and Lichtenstein confessed to their roles in the crime, agreeing to forfeit all stolen assets— including some gold coins they had buried in the ground.

What’s Next for Razzlekhan?

Once a rising star in the world of social media and hip-hop, Morgan made waves with her track Versace Bedouin, which garnered over 450,000 views on YouTube. The song reflected her self-image as a powerful, confident figure—a “badass CEO and female rapper,” as described in the video’s blurb. Now, however, she is facing a very different reality: a lengthy prison sentence and the inability to communicate with her husband while both serve their time.

“It’s going to be really hard to not be able to communicate directly at all while we are both locked up for a little bit,” Morgan said. “But I know we’ll get through it somehow.”

The release of this song, and the accompanying revelations about her time in solitary confinement, marks a new chapter in the saga of the Bitfinex hack. Whether it will be remembered as a final creative flourish before her time behind bars, or as a brief moment of catharsis for a woman facing the consequences of her criminal actions, remains to be seen.

One thing is clear: Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan’s journey is far from over, and she continues to turn her hardships into art—no matter the circumstances.
