Unless otherwise stated in the list at the end of the document, crimes committed under 18 U.S.C.§ 3293 would fall into the 5 year statue of limitations. It is not listed as being in the 10 year statue of limitations.

So yes, it does look like this is an after-the-event political blustering and nothing more. It has been six years since Obama took office. I would not take any bets on this administration (who has proven themselves to be quite cozy with Wall Street) pursuing any meaningful criminal indictments of the ringleaders of the 2008 financial crisis.
