This is also something that happened over a decade ago, so I really don't think it's appropriate to litigate.
I'm don't know much about this whole thing, but if it happened so long ago, wouldn't it be legally time-barred? It seems that Vod has put the matter in the hands of lawyers, so it would seem that it can be legally prosecuted but
according to what I see on a website, the statute of limitations is in the USA:
Federal Tax Evasion: Six years (26 U.S.C. 7201)
Bank Fraud: Ten Years (18 U.S.C. 1344)
Embezzling a Federal Financial Institution: Ten Years (18 U.S.C. 657)
Falsifying Bank Records: Ten Years (18 U.S.C. 215)
Theft of Major Art: Twenty Years (18 U.S.C. 3294)
Major Fraud Against the Federal Government of $1 Million or more: Seven Years (18 U.S.C. 1031)
It does not cite any kind of person-to-person scam but I would imagine that the statute of limitations would be at most that long, maximum 10 years.
Given that pirate was prosecuted and sentenced to jail for 18 months, and was sued by the SEC, I think it is probably fair to say that OgN was investigated, and the government declined to prosecute.
However, I think the context of this discussion is more closely aligned with the civil matter of OgN potentially breaching his contract with his depositors. The
statute of limitations to sue someone over a written contract dispute varies by state, but tops out at 10 years (except for KY, but I don't think a lawsuit could be filed in KY for this).
