Generally, the statute for civil forfeiture is five years. Because the Bitcoin was illegally acquired (through hacking) in 2015, the statute would have expired this year, even though the underlying crime (hacking) only has a 2 year SOL. According to the filing, the last transaction involved in the hack was in November 2015, so the statute probably would have expired this month.
