2/ The dismissal is without prejudice, meaning the gov’t *could* refine the charges. But because the statute of limitations has run here, that’s complicated. The gov’t may try it under a savings provision, appeal Judge Currie’s order or both.

3/ And whether they can reindict at all is questionable. Judge Currie suggest otherwise in dicta, writing that an "invalid indictment...cannot serve to block the door of limitations as it swings closed," relying on district court decisions in Maryland and Illinois.
