How Often Do IB Internships Get Rescinded?

How often do IBD internships get rescinded at BB/EBs? And, when do the background checks happen and what do they look like? I'm probably just getting too anxious but I'm worried I'll have worked this hard for nothing and I'll wake up one day with a rescinded offer.

Happens, but basically never.

Just google on background checks, every year there's like 10 posts of people scared of being called out on stealing a pen when they were 8. It's banking, not the CIA.
