In brief
Convicted money launderer Heather Morgan, aka “Razzlekhan,” will release “Turki$h Martha” later this week.
It’s her first song to be released since she was imprisoned for her role in laundering funds from the 2016 Bitfinex hack.
Morgan claimed prison staff and inmates regularly asked her to rap it while incarcerated.

Heather Morgan, the rapper and social media personality also known as Razzlekhan, is working on new music as she transitions out of federal custody.

The 35-year-old, who is serving an 18-month sentence for laundering funds tied to the 2016 Bitfinex hack and is currently overseen by a residential reentry management office in Sacramento, is scheduled for full release on Dec. 28.

Her forthcoming track, which appears to be named “Turki$h Martha,” is expected to be released on Friday.

In a tweet dated Nov. 12, Morgan said the song became a favorite during her incarceration. “Both prison staff & inmates at Victorville LOVED this song & asked me to rap ‘Turki$h Martha’ regularly,” she wrote.

lol both prison staff & inmates at Victorville LOVED this song & asked me to rap “Turki$h Martha” regularly

Gotta figure out how to drop it on TRULINKS/ Keefe, but need a clean version 😂

Morgan was sentenced in November 2024 for her role in laundering more than 119,000 BTC stolen in the Bitfinex breach, making it one of the largest crypto thefts on record. Her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein, received a five-year sentence for money laundering. He also claimed to have committed the hack itself.

Federal authorities recovered the majority of the stolen Bitcoin, now valued at more than $11 billion.

After their 2022 arrest, Morgan’s personal brand became a fascination unto itself. Her pre-arrest online presence included rap videos, entrepreneurial advice and lifestyle content spanning travel, fashion and tech. She chronicled time spent in Turkey, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Egypt, as well as the U.S.

While in Turkey, she studied at Bilkent University in Ankara as part of an exchange program.

Her rapper persona, Razzlekhan, garnered particular attention. She described the character as “Genghis Khan, but with more pizzazz.” In previous rap videos, which went viral after her arrest, she referred to herself as a “Versace bedouin” and the “crocodile of Wall Street.”



The new track continues her idiosyncratic style. In a clip shared online, she performs while wearing an Ottoman-style war helmet and dancing beside another individual.

Snippets include lyrics such as “that ain’t the Harlem Shake, shimmy, shimmy, earthquake,” “real bitch nothing fake, just baklava, fuck cake,” and “gotta go masturbate, home alone kinda date.”

The full lyrics, which appear to have been posted online by Morgan, also make references to smoking hashish, making the best lentil soup, doing an “inverse twerk,” baksheesh and—in a callback to “Versace Bedouin”—being a Bedouin.

In 2023 and 2024, Morgan continued creating content ahead of her sentencing. She released a song describing the emotional strain of impending incarceration and separation from Lichtenstein, and she maintained an active presence on Cameo, where she billed herself as “crypto’s favorite felon.”

Lichtenstein has since claimed in a video call posted online that his wife was unaware of the hack during the years it remained unsolved, asserting sole responsibility for the crime.

Morgan’s management did not respond to a request for comment.
