The US is sending the main figure behind the 2016 intrusion at crypto exchange Bitfinex to prison for five years after he stole close to 120,000 Bitcoin. Ilya Lichtenstein, now 35 years old, broke into Bitfinex and stole around $69 million worth of the cryptocurrency, per the exchange rate at the time, and siphoned it from the exchange into his own wallet over the course of more than 2,000 transactions.
