Does anyone familiar with Japanese law know what the statute of limitations are with regards to theft?

If "someone" in a position of authority at MtGox skimmed a good chunk of BTC into their own wallets that weren't declard in the Bankruptcy could they just "sit on it" for a period of time (eg: 5 years) after which they would be free to cash it out to fiat without any legal repercussions?

If he did that, the LEGAL repercussions would be the least of his worries IMHO
Truth is the new hatespeech.
