Early Release of Bitfinex Hacker Undermines Faith in Justice System
Ilya Lichtenstein, a Russian-U.S. national who hacked Bitfinex and stole 120,000 bitcoin, has been released early from prison due to the First Step Act signed by President Trump. It is deeply troubling that a criminal who undermined financial security and stole billions receives early freedom while victims suffer, representing a grave failure of justice.
