Generally speaking all indictments from a Grand Jury are handed down "unsealed."

How often are indictments done?
Sealed indictiments are held until such time as the prosecutor decides the time is right to arrest everybody named in the indictments. The reason they are sealed is so that the arrest of one or two individuals does not alert the rest of their crime confederates that a crackdown is in progress. Th eobject is to arrest them ALL in one massive operation. To that end, secrecy is imperative.
How long do they have to charge you with a secret indictment?
An indictment isn't a 'charge" until it is handed down and served on you. So-called "secret" indictments are usually held until ALL parties that the Grand Jury is investigating are presented and them and all the indictments are handed down at once so that law enforcement can do a massive clean sweep and catch and arrest all of the suspects involved. If they indicted them piecemeal it might tend to warn the rest of the group that they were under suspcicion, or being investigated, and drive them undeground.
Why do indictments have to be specific?
The 6th Amendment to the US Constitution states that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to be informed of the nature and cause of any accusation made against him or her.
