I think Todd Terry is the expert, but let me point out that you might not even face real prosecution on #1, because the govt would loath losing a case like that and have a judge set a precedent. But they might threaten you and try to get you to plea bargain. That makes a public example for other would be copycats. Not sure a good criminal defense lawyer would recommend you plea though, he might laugh at the govt case and itch to set a precedent against their over-reaching.

Yup, and the Feds know how to play dirty. They would throw you in jail, seize your assets so you can't make bail, harass your business associates to ruin your reputation, and basically drag out the case to wipe you out financially. They can ruin your life without even having a trial.
