Rights of Third-Party Claimant in Case Where Property of the Defendant is Forfeited

Recently, I received a notice from a US District Court to the effect that the online financial service I deposited funds with had all of its property confiscated by the federal government.

The notice also stated I have a right to file a claim for any portion of that forfeited property to which I have a right, title and interest.

My question is: Can I claim exemplary damages and other types of damages, along with principal and interest? - Is this your question? Add additional information
