In reply to the discussion: Holder says no bank 'too big to indict,' more financial cases coming [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)92. Okay, This will be my last post on this topic ...
I would have thought posting the text of the statute of Limitations law would have trumped an "Overview" and been the end of the argument; but apparently not. With this post, you will either accept that you are misinformed or you won't.
I got access to a computer that can display PDFs ... Here is what I find:
In the footnotes on page 3:
22 No person shall be prosecuted, tried, or punished for a violation of, or a conspiracy to violate (1) Section 215, 656,
657, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1014, 1033, or 1344; (2) Section 1341 or 1343 [mail and wire fraud], if the offense affects a
financial institution; or (3) Section 1963 [(RICO) racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations], to the extent that the
racketeering activity involves a violation of Section 1344 [bank fraud] unless the indictment is returned or the
information is filed within 10 years after the commission of the offense, ...
and, Under the section indicating a 10 year Statute of Limitations (page 28):
18 U.S.C. 1344 (bank fraud)
18 U.S.C. 1341 (mail fraud affecting a financial institution)
18 U.S.C. 1343 (wire fraud affecting a financial institution)
18 U.S.C. 1963 (RICO violation involving bank fraud)
22 No person shall be prosecuted, tried, or punished for a violation of, or a conspiracy to violate (1) Section 215, 656,
657, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1014, 1033, or 1344; (2) Section 1341 or 1343 [mail and wire fraud], if the offense affects a
financial institution; or (3) Section 1963 [(RICO) racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations], to the extent that the
racketeering activity involves a violation of Section 1344 [bank fraud] unless the indictment is returned or the
information is filed within 10 years after the commission of the offense, ...
and, Under the section indicating a 10 year Statute of Limitations (page 28):
18 U.S.C. 1344 (bank fraud)
18 U.S.C. 1341 (mail fraud affecting a financial institution)
18 U.S.C. 1343 (wire fraud affecting a financial institution)
18 U.S.C. 1963 (RICO violation involving bank fraud)
Does this settle the matter?
