Has been anyone here contacted?
I have not. I have just sent the FBI agent referred to above an inquiry as to whether or not the government considers me a victim. According to the source, I should have been contacted regarding sentencing. From an article linked within the quoted article:
For those identified victims residing in the United States, the Government has sent written notice informing them of the April 2, 2019 sentencing proceeding and of their right to be heard in connection with sentencing. For those victims residing abroad, the Government has contacted the relevant foreign Government or provided notice to the identified victims directly. As of the date of the letter (March 26, 2019), the Government has not received any victim impact statements.
( there is also an Ombudsman whom you can contact if you feel your victim statement or filing has been overlooked or ignored )

Case Updates
In general, the Government attempts to identify each victim in a given case, and to provide those victims with the information relevant to the case through the Department of Justices Victim Notification System. In cases where, due to the number of victims involved, or for other reasons, such notification is impracticable, the Government may use other methods to communicate with victims, including posting relevant information online.
