>>7597220 (pb notable) Drudge Report twat on statute of limitations of Federal crimes
If a WHISTLEBLOWER brings the case the statute of limitations is 10 years!
Thanks SCOTUS!
"As long as the relator initiates the case within three years of DOJ learning of the fraud, and does not raise FCA violations more than 10 years old, the suit will be deemed timely. In cases where the DOJ is unaware of the FCA violations until the relator puts them on notice, the statute of limitations is effectively stretched to permit a relator to file a qui tam action up to 10 years after the violation."

So once a relator notifies DOJ of a whistleblower case the DOJ has 3 years to investigate and can look back 10 years (at least). If it is RICO crimes and crimes are ongoing look back could be longer.
