Many (most?) financial type crimes have no statue of limitations so to get away you literally have to get away with it for the rest of your life
At least in the US, this is inaccurate. Most financial/fraud crimes have a statute of limitations of 3-5 years, both at the state and federal level. Some federal crimes specifically against financial institutions have a SOL of 10 years. Generally the only crimes that have no statute of limitations are punishable by life/death (such as first degree murder). See https://www.justice.gov/usam/criminal-resource-manual-650-le...
