guess there’s no statute of limitations
the connection to the heist by the other four men - who were not identified - is not yet known since an indictment is under seal.

The men are expected to be arraigned in Brooklyn Federal Court this afternoon.
Will this be in open (to the public) court, or will we still not know what was in the indictment after todays court proceedings??

For the robbery there is. For the murders that followed to cover it up, nope

Violent deaths of heist associates[edit]

When Jimmy Burke realized that the robbery had netted $6 million, three times the amount that he expected, he knew that a robbery of this magnitude would attract the intense attention of the police at every level (local, state, and federal), causing a lot of problems for everyone involved as well as organized crime in New York in general. Burke became increasingly concerned that there were too many witnesses who knew of his involvement, and too many who became greedy once learning the true amount of money stolen in the heist.
When Jimmy Burke realized that Edwards’ failure to properly dispose of the van had allowed the police to catch on to his crew, he resolved to kill anyone who could implicate him in the heist. The first to be murdered, just 7 days after the heist, would be Edwards - shot and killed in his apartment on December 18, 1978 by Tommy DeSimone and Angelo Sepe.[2] This was the first in a series of players, or their acquaintances, who were murdered after the heist at Burke’s orders:[4][5]
