Show Notes

It's not everyday that an eccentric NYC couple in their 30s get caught stealing billions of dollars. Jack Morse, senior tech reporter at Mashable, joins Matt Binder on the latest episode of Scam Economy to discuss the money-laundering couple who are accused by the DOJ of stealing $3.6 billion in Bitcoin from the Bitfinex exchange in 2016. The news about Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan came out this week and every detail -- from their tech startup backgrounds to her TikTok rapper career -- is more amazing than the next.
