Tolling a Statute of Limitations Under 18 U.S.C. 3292

There is a legislative statute of limitations tolling mechanism, 18 U.S.C. § 3292, potentially available to the US government when it seeks evidence from other governments, that some of us were not even aware of until Judge Scheindlin's recent decision in United States v. Kozeny, 493 F. Supp. 2d 693 (S.D.N.Y. June 21, 2007) (revised slightly on reconsideration but leaving the original reasoning intact, at 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 52758 (July 16, 2007)).
