Thanks for explaining this!

It seemed to me that option #1 only applied if you were a fugitive and your whereabouts were unknown, not when you simply leave the state or country.

As to furtherance, I wonder how precise the definition of it is; is using proceeds of a crime, furtherance of a crime? Is obfuscating a crime, furtherance of a crime?

Edit: This answers most of my questions and the answer seems to be "it's complicated" https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/RL31253.pdf

In regards to whether simply leaving the jurisdiction is grounds for tolling the statute of limitations, see 18 USC 3290, which is a one-sentence law reading:

    No statute of limitations shall extend to any person fleeing from justice

It can be reasonably argued that leaving the country after having committed the offense is fleeing from justice. I'm not aware of any supreme court ruling on the matter though, and I am not a lawyer.

Edit: Thanks for the link!
