Netflix has been served with cease-and-desist letters over its documentary, Biggest Heist Ever, which focuses on the multi-billion-dollar Bitcoin theft linked to Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan and her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein. The letters, sent by Morgan’s attorneys on Monday, accuse Netflix and production company Library Films of defamation and privacy violations.
Netflix Cease and Desist Over Razzlekhan Bitcoin Heist
According to sources close to the matter, Netflix has received complaints regarding alleged inaccuracies in the documentary’s portrayal of Heather Morgan and her involvement in the 2016 Bitfinex Bitcoin heist. Morgan’s attorneys assert that the film falsely claims she and Lichtenstein purchased stolen identity documents, including passports and debit cards, on the dark web.
The legal team argues that these claims lack factual basis and could have been disproven with minimal research. Public court records, they state, confirm Morgan was not involved in the hack itself. Her lawyers emphasized that these misrepresentations damage her reputation and perpetuate the misconception that she played a primary role in the theft.
The cease-and-desist letters also mention Morgan’s father-in-law, who was reportedly identified as a hacker in the film. Her attorneys labeled this statement defamatory and without supporting evidence.
