>I know FBI agents happy to bring charges for matters this trivial.

Just curious, what does one need to do in order to network with FBI agents and have them divulge what they're willing to charge people with?

Be very unlucky. Then the networking happens against your will.

The divulging comes in the form of an indictment, or, if you decide your integrity is not for sale and you turn down a plea offer, multiple days of hearings, trial, and sentencing.

Work in corporate security or law enforcement.
