Statement of facts - refers to acct opened Nov 7, 2017 registered in the name of a Russian national & another acct created Nov 20, 2017 in the name of another Russian national

Lichtenstein is called a Russian-U.S. national, so this may be 2 other Russians

AUSA: Liechtenstein had a computer folder called "Persona," with ID for different people. He had another file called "Passport_Ideas." They had 50 electronic devices, in a bag labeled "burner phones."

Lichtenstein gets $5 million bond and his parents' home posted. 5 co-signers. Home detention with GPS.

For Morgan - same on co-signers, all the same but the bond is $3 million.
Lichtenstein Morgan get bail

Earlier defense lawyer said- I heard that the false names were to open financial accounts not to help flee

Judge noted they stayed put, even after the search warrants, Morgan has doctor's appointment she doesn't want to miss
