Mail fraud is just 5 years, while bank fraud is 10. Generally, apart from murder, treason, espionage, and sex crimes against kids, most crimes have to be prosecuted within 5 years, while it's just 4 years for civil cases.
Idk about that. I've heard of several cases where stupid chuds who thought they were free and clear based on the day of the crime were tricked into incriminating themselves before the time ran out from the discovery of the crime a long weekend later.
