The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has established a website to collect statements from individuals affected by the 2016 Bitfinex hacking attack, with the aim of providing potential victims with an opportunity to speak about the impact of Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan's criminal behavior on them. Although the position of the US Department of Justice is that under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), convicted crimes have no victims, the department has issued this notice to the public to ensure that anyone who may be harmed by the defendant's actions is heard. This includes affected Bitfinex account holders. Previously, US prosecutors temporarily believed that Bitfinex was the only victim eligible for compensation in the 2016 Bitfinex hacking attack. @tiffatronn
