   I truly don't know if there is a statute of limitations on divulging   
   trade information. I've just watched a few different videos by sources I   
   respect, including BlackBeltBarrister (a practicing lawyer in the UK)   
   and Jacob Rees-Mogg, a former Conservative MP and staunch Royalist, and   
   none of them said anything about that aspect of the case.   
      
   However, Piers Morgan was interviewed in a Fox News clip I just saw and   
   said that the charges which the justice system *could* levy might well   
   see Andrew in prison FOR LIFE. Morgan is not a lawyer so I have no idea   
   if he has talked to credible people about this or is just   
   sensationalizing but it certainly looks like these are very serious   
   charges.  Morgan also said he could imagine the entire monarchy being   
   swept away as one of the consequences of this affair!
