A prolific online rapper known as the “Crocodile of Wall Street” faced ridicule on social media after she and her husband were arrested on charges of laundering money obtained from a cryptocurrency hack.

Famous short-seller Jim Chanos called Heather Morgan the “Bernice Madoff (so far) of crypto crime” on his Twitter account, referring to Bernie Madoff, who was convicted of building the largest Ponzi scheme in history.
