A Razzlekhan film may be coming to a theater near you

Razzlekhan, the film, coming to a theater near you. Maybe.

Chloe Grace Moretz and Lewis Pullman have signed on to the film, which will focus on the Business Insider article on the heist.

The movie, according to Dateline, will be called Dutch & Razzklekhan, after the infamous couple.

Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan and Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein were arrested in February 2022 in connection to the Bitfinex hack. Razzlekhan was also known online as the “Crocodile of Wall Street,” and people quickly uncovered the couple’s internet presence, leading to numerous memes and nicknames including “Bitcoin Bonnie and Clyde.”

Lichtenstein in August of last year confessed to being the original hacker behind the 2016 hack.

The two stole over 119,000 bitcoin worth roughly $70 million at the time, ballooning to nearly $4 billion by the time authorities seized the stash. At current prices, their bitcoin is worth over $8 billion.

Moretz, Dateline reported, will play the role of Razzlekhan and Pullman will play Lichtenstein, her husband.

The couple reached a plea deal with authorities last year, pleading guilty to the hack and forfeiting the stolen bitcoin.

Morgan, at her plea hearing last August, said that she had a “growing awareness” that Lichtenstein — who paid their rent in crypto — had obtained it through illegal means. Lichtenstein told her that he stole the bitcoin in 2020.

Dutch & Razzlekhan isn’t the only potential movie to focus on the couple. Earlier this year, Dateline reported that Amazon MGM Studios started development on its own Razzlekhan film, this time based on the New York Times article on the couple.
