A year ago, Morgan admitted to laundering billions of dollars stolen from the Bitfinex exchange in 2016, together with her husband, Ilya Lichtenstein. She faces up to 10 years in prison on multiple charges.
However, instead of serving her sentence, she continues to attend public events, which has raised concerns among users of the social network X. She has been repeatedly spotted at various conferences throughout the year, causing alarm in the community.
Bitcoin Casa co-founder, Jameson Lopp, called on organizers to ban Morgan from attending crypto conferences, claiming she poses a real threat to Bitcoin owners. He expressed concern that she might use her social engineering skills to gather information in the interests of the state.
Many in the crypto community share his opinion. They fear that Morgan’s presence at such events could undermine trust in the community and create additional risks. In light of these events, some experts have suggested enhancing the screening of conference participants and implementing stricter security measures to prevent potential threats.
