  • The article is misleading. Specifically that “or” not being in quotes in the article.

    The actual text of the statute is

    Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. (Added Pub. L. 107–204, title VIII, §802(a), July 30, 2002, 116 Stat. 800 .)

    That may be in favor of the asshat in question. I wouldn’t put anything past the Supreme Court at this point anyway.
