🤯 $BTC Hack Mastermind FREED Early! 🚨

The architect of the infamous 2016 Bitfinex hack, Ilya Lichtenstein, is out of prison sooner than expected. 🇺🇸 Thanks to sentence reductions under the First Step Act – signed back in 2018 – he’s been released after serving part of his five-year sentence.

Remember, Lichtenstein was convicted in November 2024 for laundering a staggering 120,000 $BTC, worth around $4.5 billion when the crime occurred. This is a huge development for the crypto space and raises questions about accountability in large-scale hacks. 🤔 What does this mean for the recovery of stolen funds?
