How long did the Mastro investigation (of a MUCH narrower scope) go on, Mr. Know it All?

As I've stated numerous times, I know nothing at all about legal matters and FBI investigations. That makes me a self-admitted 'Know-nothing-at-all'. But you can keep calling me "Mr. Know it All" if that makes you feel better about yourself.

But from my ignorant perspective, 3 years and counting sure seems like a long time for zero charges to have been brought if this is still a hot case. Maybe it is, who knows. I certainly don't. But I do have friends at the bureau, and they were working all through the pandemic. I have no idea what cases they work on, and I highly doubt they were working on this one, but I know their work didn't slow down because of the pandemic as has been suggested here. Perhaps the courts are backed up? Again, I don't know. But I know the clock is ticking, and the longer this goes on without charges, the more likely it is that the accusations being made don't hold water.

If you know nothing about a subject, perhaps you should just be quiet instead of offering your smug meaningless observations.

I don't claim to know the status of the investigation, but I'm not from a position of total ignorance making pronouncements about it either. My only point is that the passage of time here doesn't tell us anything.

Well it worked out for him on the Shoeless Joe autographed photo. LOL

Anyway, it seems, from what has been posted on BO and other places, that the investigation may have taken a change of course. Not sure if that is true but it might explain why we have not seen an indictment. Also wasn't the investigation more than just PWCC? Didn't it involve other bad actors?

To conclude silence means the matter has been dropped seems premature and ignorant.

His mocking tone is what really I find appalling given he admits he has zero knowledge even of the general topic of FBI investigations.

"I'm sure those indictments are just around the corner though. Any day now, any day now... Tick tock, tick tock... lol"
