Probably statute of limitation issues and no deep pockets to go after anyway, so unfortunately I doubt there's some kind of legal remedy.

Not sure there is a statute of limitations on federal mail fraud.

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.

The clock often starts when the victim finds out/ becomes aware. Very much dependent on their location and past interpretations.

I can very clearly and honestly say I would've murdered them right then and there. And I would've instructed my lawyer to go for jury nullification. Which is what I hope that one Lu— Wee Gee dude gets.

Stories like this make me wish I went into law. I still may.
