Morgan and Lichtenstein engineered a complex scheme to launder stolen cryptocurrency using fictitious names and moving the funds in small increments so as not to arouse suspicion, according to court records.
At his sentencing last week, Lichtenstein expressed remorse for "wasting my talents on crime instead of a positive contribution to society".
Lichtenstein had pleaded with the judge to spare his wife from having to go to prison, blaming himself for her involvement.
Prosecutors alleged that the 'bitcoin Bonnie and Clyde' laundered 21% of the coins that they stole from the Hong Kong-based exchange.
