The accused bitcoin couple took 'meaningful steps' to establish new identities in Russia and Ukraine: prosecutors
Prosecutors painted the picture in their court filings of a couple whose activities"appear pulled from the pages of a spy novel."
Prosecutors speculate that the couple also prepared for life in Russia. Morgan, a Californian who spent many years abroad in countries like Egypt and Hong Kong, was learning Russian. The couple had a"brief conversation" with each other in Russian at the time of their arrest, according to the filing. Lawyers representing the couple asked a judge Thursday to allow them to meet with Lichtenstein, who they have not been able to meet since since earlier this week because his name was misspelled in the inmate intake system.
From there she took an Uber to 11 Mirrors Design Hotel, an ultra hip boutique hotel near city center, where authorities believe she picked a shipment of fake passports or IDs sent by"darknet vendors."
