A: To stay updated on the USA vs Hewko case (2:19-cv-09736-FLA-AFM), you have a few options:

1. PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records): As one of the investors in the case, you can register for a PACER account at https://pacer.uscourts.gov/. This will allow you to access case documents, filings, and updates online for a small fee.

2. Contact the U.S. Attorney's Office: Reach out to the U.S. Attorney's Office handling the case and ask to be added to their victim notification system. They may provide you with updates on the case as it progresses.

3. Victim Witness Assistance Program: The U.S. Attorney's Office also has a Victim Witness Assistance Program that can help keep you informed about the case and your rights as a victim. You can find more information on their website or by contacting the office directly.

4. Hire an attorney: If you haven't already, consider hiring an attorney who can monitor the case on your behalf and provide you with updates and guidance throughout the legal process.

5. Monitor media coverage: Keep an eye on local news outlets and legal publications for any media coverage or updates on the case.

Remember to be proactive in seeking information and don't hesitate to reach out to the appropriate authorities or legal professionals for assistance.

A: It's unclear to me what you mean when you say you are an investor in a case? That's a very rare thing to be, outside of being THE attorney or THE law firm handling the case? Perhaps you meant to say one of the people who was harmed in the case, as perhaps an investor in the company? If the second definition is true, stay in touch with the attorneys and/or research online, as all cases these days leave a public presence. Good luck with it...
