I would say that if you're caught and ... somehow manage to delete all the evidence linking you ( you have device explosives or, idk, 2048 bit encryption ), you may be able to escape, but come on, who are we kidding: the FBI has like a 99.96% conviction rate and that's without even going to into the "parallel construction" or other conspiratorial lines of attack.

The FBI has "like a 99.96% conviction rate"?

I don't know if it's 99.96%, but the FBI is well-known for making sure everything is absolutely airtight before making an arrest. Once they make an arrest, you can be sure they have more than enough evidence to convict and then some. When people do avoid a conviction, it's usually by testifying against others in exchange for immunity or leniency.

I get 93.22% for defendants in US District Court in 2019. And 93.16% for 2018. (Edit: Fixed some math & dates)

Edit: Found the referring agency line item. 91.12% for FBI-referred in 2019, 91.34% in 2018.

If you're going to quote statistics, don't just pull them out of thin air. The government is required to report this stuff, you know?

It was intended to be a joke. "333 repeating of course" is a reference to Leroy Jenkins.

I don't think the FBI would be that dumb to arrest you before they have solid proof.
