He testified under oath in 2005 and the statute of limitations has run for a perjury charge. That is why he waited until now to come clean. He may get sued by the people he sued but that is small potatoes for someone with his wealth. The companies that had his endorsement can't sue because they have already received the benefit of his endorsement.
