'Maybe we’re being punked right now, I don’t know,” said an artist who knew Morgan. 'I feel surprised, lowercase,' said a former colleague.

Photo-Illustration: Intelligencer; Photo: Facebook “Who is Heather R Morgan?” read the PowerPoint slide above Heather Rhiannon Morgan as she began what was supposed be a TED-style talk in the library room of the Williamsburg Hotel by rapping along with her own song, “Versace Bedouin,” making it about 25 seconds before someone cut the music.
That’s when he learned that Morgan and Lichtenstein were implicated in one of the largest crypto heists in history. Around the same time, according to a former colleague, she met Lichtenstein, who listed himself as an adviser to her company in 2014 on LinkedIn. It’s not clear when the two got serious though, with a former friend describing them as “on-again, off again.” Part of the reason may have been Lichtenstein’s apparent discomfort with Morgan’s social-media forward lifestyle.
“Rapping was her alter-ego,” says Natalia Zamparini, her henna tattooist for years. “I am encouraging and supportive of people pursuing their passions and showing their happiness. Otherwise I would have thought of her as soft-spoken.” At one point, Morgan apparently thought she could make more money through royalties off songs featuring Southerland, and tried to get him to sign a contract. He said that a dispute followed over money, she replaced his verse, and they haven’t spoken since. “That’s when she showed me her true colors,” he said. “She used me, and that’s okay. That’s cool. You know, obviously, Karma is a bitch.”
