I answered yes, but define "falsely". I was never accused by anyone of value. My first ex, while we were going through the divorce, happened to run into an ex GF of my lawyer. She was a DEA informant. She also was "doing" a local DEA agent who had it in for my lawyer ( lawyer was Italian, read what ever into that). So the agent surveilled my lawyer and apparently had me followed. I didn't know I was being followed and did nothing wrong, wasn't my style. My lawyer lost some clients. then both my ex and the informant were caught on selling drugs, oh the irony.

I was accused of calling husker a ring worm but no one could quote a single post where I actually did that.

This followed directly after husker's post:

Yes because catastrophe's and medical hardships don't happen to people who plan. Some people have about as much compassion as a ring worm.

 So where did I call husker a ring worm. You can twist it any way you want but some people do have the compassion of a ring worm.

 LOL, my lawyer did actually defend some mob peeps, when the "drug accusation" came up some had to drop him.  Yeah I knew what it was about,  Hey they gave a great young lawyer a start and he has done well!  Gowd he was gorgeous and charismatic to me  in my younger days.  He did my entire divorce for $300 because I worked with his cousin and they take care of family.  I was so clueless back in those days.

 When we visited Rome, the people at restaurants would start up conversations with us. When they found out my great grandparents were born in Rome, they treated us like family...brought out the "good house wine", etc. Once you are in the family, you are IN! But cross us and you are dead to us! Lol

I was investigated for potentially being involved/leader in a small ring doing check fraud that ended up taking a very different path.

A former employer for medical equipment where I was the bookkeeper had some fraudulent checks go thru its account. Turns out that some payroll checks were "bleached" and reissued for just under $5,000 each. I did payroll every two weeks. The employee whose checks were "bleached" just so happened to be DH's, who worked for the same company. Now, you try to convince anyone that that is not suspicious. Especially when I described in detail how those checks could be "bleached". FYI, bleached is taking the original ink and then printing your own check.

Fortunately, the investigation led to the bank's clearing house and both DH and I were cleared. Unfortunately for the owners of the company, they ended up being investigated and convicted for Medicare fraud. I ended up being an anonymous informant that led to that investigation.

Qualified "yes"
My brother used to accuse me of stealing from our Mother's purse, until she finally figured out he was buying too much to afford on his allowance. He'd break something, and say I did it. He was a nasty little boy.

I thought the OP was about crimes. Not bad behavior. Of course I have been accused of bad behavior falsely.

My ex accused me of all sorts of things. At the end, he was convinced I had been having an affair with my boss and claimed to have seen me kissing him in the parking lot. He also said he had talked to my boss and boss admitted it all to him.

My ex also threatened to call my company and tell them I was drunk at work. And then call the news stations in town to report that the employees of my company drank on the job.

Yes, back in College.

I got the job managing the small "convenience" store on campus. One friday night the register was over by $5. I put the money in an envelope and put it on my school books, which were on the desk. Then I went on with the rest of the closing and ordering for next weekend. I just forgot the money and scooped it up with the books vs putting it in the safe.

I found it immediately Saturday morning and called my boss and left a message regarding the mistake. When I walked into work on Monday, I was summarily fired because there was money shorted from the books on the days that the OTHER manager did the closing. Not sure why the other manager was not fired...

Anywho. By the end of the semester said other manager was also fired because she WAS in fact stealing. The boss asked me to come back, without an apology. But I had already found a job working in the local liquor store.

 What a piece of work, DG.  Related to my ex, obviously.  Though I was supporting him, if I worked 15 minutes later than the norm he would accuse me of seeing someone on the side.

He is the king of all liars - I honestly think he could sell ice to eskimos, as they say.  In hindsight, it is a terrible shame someone as smart and talented as him chose to be a wicked, selfish criminal instead of a productive member of society.

 Mine accused me of coming to my hometown - to visit my parents - because I had someone here I was sleeping with. He was also jealous of my male cousins. Explain that one
