Only if they can prove that you never intended to pay back the loan when you secured it.

Nope. Don't confuse apples and oranges. Civil is civil, criminal is criminal. Don't get duped.

No, their threats are empty. In fact, it is illegal for them to threaten you that way. Stealing money is one thing. Not repaying a loan is another.

Yes, you can so be charged. By not paying them back, you stole the money and you would need to suffer the consequences.
