Almost 2000 years, based off the current Middle East wars.

There are those for whom it feels the wounds are still bleeding.

For as long as the assets persist? Or, at least as long as the person who did the crime persists. There are people fighting to get back the land they lost centuries ago (Ireland, Isreal, Africa, Spain, Aboriginals in North America). As someone on the winning side of historical theft, I can understand why people would want to say 'shut up about it, it is the past, let it lie'.
At the very least, as long as the person's persist. And if JP is the same corperation, in some sense, as the one's that did the deed, they are responsible for that earlier incarnation's deeds.
