A social-media rapper, who dubbed herself the “Crocodile of Wall Street,” and her husband have reached a plea deal with prosecutors in a case that involved laundering billions of dollars of stolen Bitcoin, according to a court filing and a person familiar with the matter.
Heather Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein are scheduled to appear for a plea hearing on Aug. 3, more than a year after they were charged, according to a filing Friday in federal court in Washington. The couple were arrested in February 2022, but requested delays in their case to facilitate plea discussions, which could indicate they are cooperating with authorities.
