It’s too late to edit the original comment: the person who actually made the call is probably facing charges of making a false report (and evidence tampering, for asking the other guys to delete their chat logs). The others are probably facing charges of conspiracy to make a false report ( https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/conspiracy.html https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/conspiracy.htm... ). There may be an argument that encouraging somebody to commit a crime, by way of a bet, isn’t the same thing as helping someone plan to commit a crime. I’m sure sure this wouldn’t be the first time for that argument to come up. Also, if they said anything like “just make a call and say ...,” that defense won’t work.
