According to ChainCatcher news, as reported by Decrypt, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has established a website to collect statements from individuals affected by the 2016 Bitfinex hacking incident, aimed at providing potential victims the opportunity to share how the criminal actions of Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan have impacted them.

Although the DOJ's position is that, under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), there are no victims of a convicted crime, the department has still issued this notice to the public to ensure that anyone who may have been harmed by the defendant's actions can be heard. This includes affected Bitfinex account holders.
