I wonder what the status of limitation is in this case. The clock will run out eventually so they are definitely under pressure to build the case.

- ceejayoz 4y agoThat assumes they've stopped committing the crimes in question.
- lazide 4y agoDepends on the jurisdiction and the crime. Federally, seems like 5 years from when the crime was committed, unless it was a serious crime [https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/RL31253.pdf https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/RL31253.pdf]. Other places (California) often base it on when the crime was discovered/known about. So if someone buried some cash or something, then ignored it, and someone stole it in the meantime, the statute of limitations on prosecuting the theft would be when they went back and discovered it gone, not when it was taken. I’m sure they are taking it into account.
