There is a statute of limitations. But in the general case: if you're going to do crimes, it's probably not so smart to do them on a permanent immutable public ledger of all transactions.
- jmnicolas 5y agoThe "crime" might be you made a modest profit on some crypto and "forgot" to report it to the IRS.
- dboreham 5y agoThat's a non-air-quotes crime. But the statute of limitations is 10 years.
- quartz 5y agoFor a modest unreported profit, assuming you converted it back to USD at an exchange that reports to the IRS, you'll probably get a CP2000 in the mail many years later with your recalculated back taxes (probably assuming a $0 cost basis that you'll have to provide records to dispute) + interest.
- davidgerard 5y agoyes, that is indeed a crime, and not a "crime".
