>> I doubt they'd be able to make anything stick and it would be a giant PR snafu.

Both of those are true, however your life would still be massivly impacted and you would still be out thousands of dollars in legal fees with almost no hope of collecting them

Also better hope they do not find any other things in your life to charge you with, and you do not respond to any question in a way that could be seen as a lie, or about 100 other ways a federal agent can fuck you.

No it is best to simply avoid the system instead of putting your faith that "everything will work out in the end"

The only people that win in criminal cases are the courts, law enforcement, and the lawyers. as even if you "win" you lose

In theory your life could be massively impacted at random by such organizations, that's just how the justice system works.

I think the risk here is very very low to consider such a wildcard situation.
