I'm wading into the danger zone as an accountant attempting to speak to legal issues, but I think the idea is that the SOL eliminates the possibility of being charged with the crime, and the potential of jail time. Obviously it's a long ways from being home free and the ability to just act with impunity, but at least that one source of potential jeopardy is lifted once the SOL has run.
