In reply to the discussion: DOJ preparing criminal charges against Wall Street executives [View all]1StrongBlackMan

you have specifically and repeatedly, incorrectly, stated that the SoL to bring an action has passed. My citing to the statute that indicates different, is most certainly, NOT a strawman argument.
What you are doing is the regular moving of the goal-post ... "DoJ can't do it. It's too late" ... "What they can?" ... "Well, they won't!" And you even slip in the, "Even if they do ... It won't be who I want prosecuted!"
I realize, this is your singular most important issue/complaint ... but the DoJ does have an obligation to ensure that when they go to court, they have a case they can win ... no matter how long it takes. You've heard the quote about "the wheels of justice ..." No?
