I think we are all mostly on the same page. Obviously if the law requires you to keep records and you do not, you already have broken the law. If the law doesn't require it, and your routine is to periodically toss out certain information, then even if you end up tossing out evidence you probably will have a good case for doing so-- unless it can somehow be proved you knowingly were attempting to cover your tracks.

More likely what happens is that someone orders you to destroy something and, although you have this instinctive feeling you are doing something wrong, you just do it and assure yourself you are being paranoid. Then when you regain your senses and the FBI points out all the other warning signs you had to have seen that something illegal was going on, you realize you'd be toast in court and just plead guilty to avoid the more serious charges.
