Yes, so some terrible truths: 1. Talk to lawyers, who will probably tell you to talk to no one and to refer LE/legal notices you get to them. 2. Never reach out to your old company about this. You probably should not have done this in the first place, since perversely asserting your innocence often makes you look more guilty (since 'that's exactly what a guilty person would do'). Basically, if this evolves into a legal matter it's out of your hands. Try not to get anxious about this, since rumors at an old company are entirely out of your control. If you're innocent, internal or external investigations should prove so.
