  • Bitfinex 2016 Hack: Uncovering Lichtenstein & Government Secrets
    Jun 25 2024

    Join Brett Johnson on this wild ride of government cover-ups and conspiracies as he sets the record straight once and for all. The Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange was hacked in August 2016. 119,756 bitcoin, worth about US$72 million at the time, was stolen. Ilya Lichtenstein, 35, and Heather Morgan, 33, were arrested in February 2022 after the government seized approximately 95,000 of those stolen bitcoin from cryptocurrency wallets in the defendants’ control. They were arrested for laundering the money, not the hack. So WHO did the hack? And why are the Lichtensteins NOW in witness protection? ► The Brett Johnson Show: https://www.youtube.com/@brettjohnsonshow► Criminal Thoughts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/criminalthoughtspodcast ► Criminal Thoughts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554340715365 ► Brett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/gollumfun Follow more of Brett: https://www.thebrettjohnsonshow.com Watch Brett Johnson on the Lex Friedman Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC1LFC0KFSw&t=3s Watch Brett Johnson on the Jordan B Peterson Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz0GVLzzYlg ABOUT BRETT Brett Johnson.
